Choose the correct simplification of \((4x − 3)(3x^2 − 4x − 3)\).

A. \(12x^3 + 25x^2 + 9\)
B. \(12x^3 − 25x^2 − 9\)
C. \(12x^3 + 25x^2 − 9\)
D. \(12x^3 − 25x^2 + 9\)

Answer :

The correct simplification of (4x - 3)(3x^2 - 4x - 3) is 12x^3 - 25x^2 + 9.To simplify the expression (4x - 3)(3x^2 - 4x - 3), we need to multiply the two binomials together using the distributive property.

To simplify the expression, we will multiply each term in the first binomial (4x - 3) by each term in the second binomial (3x^2 - 4x - 3) and combine like terms.

Multiply the first term of the first binomial (4x) by each term in the second binomial:

4x * 3x^2 = 12x^3

4x * (-4x) = -16x^2

4x * (-3) = -12x

Multiply the second term of the first binomial (-3) by each term in the second binomial:

-3 * 3x^2 = -9x^2

-3 * (-4x) = 12x

-3 * (-3) = 9

Combine the like terms obtained from the multiplications:

12x^3 - 16x^2 - 12x - 9x^2 + 12x + 9

Simplify further by combining like terms:

12x^3 - 25x^2 + 9

Therefore, the correct simplification of (4x - 3)(3x^2 - 4x - 3) is 12x^3 - 25x^2 + 9.
