What is the product?

[tex]\left(7x^2\right)\left(2x^3+5\right)\left(x^2-4x-9\right)[/tex]

A. [tex]14x^5 - x^4 - 46x^3 - 58x^2 - 20x - 45[/tex]

B. [tex]14x^6 - 56x^5 - 91x^4 - 140x^3 - 315x^2[/tex]

C. [tex]14x^7 - 56x^6 - 126x^5 + 35x^4 - 140x^3 - 315x^2[/tex]

D. [tex]14x^{12} - 182x^6 + 35x^4 - 455x^2[/tex]

Answer :

To find the product of the given expression [tex]\((7x^2)(2x^3 + 5)(x^2 - 4x - 9)\)[/tex], we need to follow these steps:

1. Break Down the Expression: We have three factors that need to be multiplied: [tex]\(7x^2\)[/tex], [tex]\(2x^3 + 5\)[/tex], and [tex]\(x^2 - 4x - 9\)[/tex].

2. Distribute One by One:
- First, distribute [tex]\(7x^2\)[/tex] across the terms in the second factor [tex]\((2x^3 + 5)\)[/tex].

[tex]\[
(7x^2)(2x^3) = 14x^5
\][/tex]
[tex]\[
(7x^2)(5) = 35x^2
\][/tex]

So after this step, we have:
[tex]\[
14x^5 + 35x^2
\][/tex]

3. Now Multiply with the Third Factor: Multiply this result by the third factor [tex]\((x^2 - 4x - 9)\)[/tex].

- Distribute [tex]\(14x^5\)[/tex] across [tex]\((x^2 - 4x - 9)\)[/tex].

[tex]\[
(14x^5)(x^2) = 14x^7
\][/tex]
[tex]\[
(14x^5)(-4x) = -56x^6
\][/tex]
[tex]\[
(14x^5)(-9) = -126x^5
\][/tex]

- Distribute [tex]\(35x^2\)[/tex] across [tex]\((x^2 - 4x - 9)\)[/tex].

[tex]\[
(35x^2)(x^2) = 35x^4
\][/tex]
[tex]\[
(35x^2)(-4x) = -140x^3
\][/tex]
[tex]\[
(35x^2)(-9) = -315x^2
\][/tex]

4. Combine All Terms: Now, combine all terms from each of these products to get a single expression.

[tex]\[
14x^7 - 56x^6 - 126x^5 + 35x^4 - 140x^3 - 315x^2
\][/tex]

5. Final Result: The expanded form of the expression is:
[tex]\[
14x^7 - 56x^6 - 126x^5 + 35x^4 - 140x^3 - 315x^2
\][/tex]

This is your expanded expression for the given product!
