(3 points)

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer With Step-by-step explanation:Part A: .5[ (3x – 6) (2x + 4) ] .5(6x^2 - 24) 3x^2 - 12 Part B: Second Degree Binomial Part C: For Part A, a polynomial was multiplied by another polynomial. The resulting product was a polynomial. This is a demonstration of the closure property for multiplying polynomials.
