Question

select the correct answer. simplify the expression. what classification describes the resulting polynomial? 2(3x^2 - x - 7) + (-6x^2 - 4x - 2) quadratic trinomial linear binomial quadratic binomial linear monomial

Explanation:

Step1: Expand the first term

$2(3x^{2}-x - 7)=6x^{2}-2x-14$

Step2: Combine like - terms

$(6x^{2}-2x - 14)+(-6x^{2}-4x - 2)=(6x^{2}-6x^{2})+(-2x-4x)+(-14 - 2)$
$=0x^{2}-6x-16=-6x - 16$

Answer:

linear binomial
