-3x^3+28x^2-28x-323x3+28x228x32

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"(x2)(3x+2)first 2 factors

=3x^2+2x-6x-4=3x2+2x6x4

=3x^2-4x-4=3x24x4

rArr(3x^2-4x-4)(-x+8)larrcolor(blue)"multiply by third factor"(3x24x4)(x+8)multiply by third factor

=-3x^3+24x^2+4x^2-32x+4x-32=3x3+24x2+4x232x+4x32

=-3x^3+28x^2-28x-32larrcolor(blue)"in standard form"=3x3+28x228x32in standard form
