When you multiply the linear and a quadratic expressions, (x2 - 4) (x - 2), what type of expression will the product be? Select all that apply.

X3-2x2-4x+8. That is what the answer would be because if you do the foiling method (First, Outer, Inner, Last) or wither the box method, both methods should produce the same answer.

cubic expression.

x3 - 2x2 - 4x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

(x2 - 4) (x - 2)

first we will multiply both parenthesis

(x2 * x) + (x2 * - 2) + (-4 * x) + (-4 * - 2)

then you simplify the parenthesis

(x3) + (-2x2) + (-4x) + (8)

then we eliminate the parenthesis

x3 - 2x2 - 4x + 8

and finally we have an cubic expression
