What is the product of 2x-4 and 3x^2-x+4? Write your answer in standard form. Show your work. Is the product of 2x-4 and 3x^2-x+4 equal to the product of 4x-2 and 3x^2-x+4? Explain your answer. No, the product is not the same

The answer to your question is No, the product is not the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

Product 1

                    (2x - 4)(3x² - x + 4) = 6x³ - 2x² + 8x - 12x² + 4x - 16

Simplify                                       = 6x³ - 14x² + 12x - 16

Product 2

                   (4x - 2)(3x² - x + 4) = 12x³ - 4x² + 16x - 6x² + 2x - 8

Simplify                                      = 12x³ - 10x² + 18x - 8

The result is not the same because we are multiplying by different terms (2x - 4) is totally different from (4x - 2) they are different factors and the result will be different.

If we have applied the commutative property the results will be the same, but we did not.

hi,

you half the rectangle that you ae asking about so then you would see the scale factor of 1/2 the one u have selected, the one on top is half.

hope this !
