Q. Which of the following is the sum of p2 p-2 and (p+3)(p6) (p+3)(p-6) ?\newlineChoose 11 answer:\newline(A) 3p5 3 p-5 \newline(B) 2p220 2 p^{2}-20 \newline(C) p22p20 p^{2}-2 p-20 \newline(D) p35p212p+36 p^{3}-5 p^{2}-12 p+36
  1. Expand Expression: First, we need to expand the expression (p+3)(p6)(p+3)(p-6) using the distributive property (also known as the FOIL method for binomials).\newline(p+3)(p6)=pp+p(6)+3p+3(6)(p+3)(p-6) = p\cdot p + p\cdot(-6) + 3\cdot p + 3\cdot(-6)\newline=p26p+3p18= p^2 - 6p + 3p - 18\newline=p23p18= p^2 - 3p - 18
  2. Combine Terms: Now, we add the expanded expression to the other term, p2p-2. \newlineSum = (p2)+(p23p18)(p-2) + (p^2 - 3p - 18)\newline= p23p+p218p^2 - 3p + p - 2 - 18\newline= p22p20p^2 - 2p - 20
  3. Check Calculations: We check our calculations to ensure there are no math errors. The terms have been combined correctly, and the arithmetic is accurate.
