Question
Multiply polynomial $ \, \color{blue}{ 2x-5 } \, $ by $ \, \color{orangered}{ x }$.
Answer
$$ \left( \color{blue}{2x-5} \right) \cdot \color{orangered}{x} = 2x^2-5x $$
Explanation
We can use distribution property to multiply the polynomial by the monomial.
$$ \begin{aligned} \left( 2x-5 \right) \cdot \color{orangered}{x} &= 2x \cdot \color{orangered}{x} + \left( -5\right) \cdot \color{orangered}{x} = \\ &= 2x^2-5x \end{aligned} $$This page was created using
