Question

fill in the blank 1 point which expression is equivalent to ((x^2 - 16)(2x - 5))? choose the correct answer from each drop down menu. choose your answer choose your answer choose your answer choose your answer

Explanation:

Step1: Apply distributive property

Multiply each term in the first polynomial by each term in the second polynomial:
$x^3(2x) + x^3(-5) - 16(2x) - 16(-5)$

Step2: Calculate each product

Simplify each term by multiplying coefficients and adding exponents for variable terms:
$2x^{4} - 5x^3 - 32x + 80$

Answer:

$2x^{4} - 5x^3 - 32x + 80$
