What is the product of 2x+ 3 and 4x2 - 5x+ 6?

8x³ - 25x² - 3x + 18

Step-by-step explanation:

(2x + 3)(4x²- 5x + 6)

multiply 2x by each of the three terms in the second expression to get:

8x³ - 10x² + 12x

now multiply 3 by each of the three terms in the second expression to get:

12x² - 15x + 18

Combine 'like terms': -10x² + (-15x²) = -25x²

Combine 'like terms':  12x + (-15x) = -3x

Put all terms in decreasing exponent order:

8x³ - 25x² - 3x + 18

step-by-step explanation:

1,407.5 hours

step-by-step explanation:

we first convert all the time to hours and then sum them up.

there are 24 hours in 1 day, in 58 days, there are 24 x 58 = 1,392 hours.

there are 60 minutes in 1 hour, thus, 30 minutes will be equivalent to 30 / 60 = 0.5 hours.

therefore, the number of hours it will take mercury to complete a full rotation is 1,392 + 15 + 0.5 = 1,407.5 hours
