Question
Multiply polynomial $ \, \color{blue}{ 4p^2 } \, $ by $ \, \color{orangered}{ 3p^2-9 }$.
Answer
$$ \color{blue}{4p^2} \cdot \left( \color{orangered}{3p^2-9} \right) = 12p^4-36p^2 $$
Explanation
We can use distribution property to multiply the polynomial by the monomial.
$$ \begin{aligned} \color{blue}{4p^2} \cdot \left( 3p^2-9 \right) &= \color{blue}{4p^2} \cdot 3p^2 + \color{blue}{4p^2} \cdot \left( -9\right) = \\ &= 12p^4-36p^2 \end{aligned} $$This page was created using
