Q. (3g−4)(2g−8)=ag2+bg+cIn the given equation, a,b, and c are constants. What is the value of a ?Choose 1 answer:(A) −32(B) −16(C) 5(D) 6
Expand Expression: We need to expand the expression (3g−4)(2g−8) to find the coefficient of the g2 term, which will give us the value of a. Expanding the expression using the distributive property (also known as the FOIL method for binomials): (3g−4)(2g−8)=3g×2g+3g×(−8)+(−4)×2g+(−4)×(−8)
Perform Multiplication: Now we perform the multiplication for each term:3g×2g=6g23g×(−8)=−24g(−4)×2g=−8g(−4)×(−8)=32
Combine Like Terms: Combine the like terms to get the expanded form:6g2−24g−8g+326g2−32g+32
Find Coefficient: From the expanded form, we can see that the coefficient of g2 is 6. This is the value of a.
