Q. Find the product. Simplify your answer.(4c+2)(3c−2)
Identify Problem Structure: Identify the structure of the problem.We are asked to find the product of two binomials, (4c+2) and (3c−2).This is a multiplication problem involving two binomials.
Apply Distributive Property: Apply the distributive property (also known as the FOIL method) to multiply the two binomials.(4c+2)(3c−2)=4c×3c+4c×(−2)+2×3c+2×(−2)
Perform Multiplication for Each Term: Perform the multiplication for each term.4c×3c=12c24c×(−2)=−8c2×3c=6c2×(−2)=−4
Combine Like Terms: Combine like terms.12c2+(−8c)+6c+(−4)=12c2−8c+6c−4
Simplify Expression: Simplify the expression by combining the c terms. 12c2−8c+6c−4=12c2−2c−4
