Explanation:
"expand the first 2 factors using FOIL then multiply the"expand the first 2 factors using FOIL then multiply the
"result by the third factor"result by the third factor
(x-2)(3x+2)larrcolor(blue)"first 2 factors"(x−2)(3x+2)←first 2 factors
=3x^2+2x-6x-4=3x2+2x−6x−4
=3x^2-4x-4=3x2−4x−4
rArr(3x^2-4x-4)(-x+8)larrcolor(blue)"multiply by third factor"⇒(3x2−4x−4)(−x+8)←multiply by third factor
=-3x^3+24x^2+4x^2-32x+4x-32=−3x3+24x2+4x2−32x+4x−32
=-3x^3+28x^2-28x-32larrcolor(blue)"in standard form"=−3x3+28x2−28x−32←in standard form
