What is the product?

\[
\left(-2x - 9y^2\right)(-4x - 3)
\]

A. \(-8x^2 - 6x - 36xy^2 - 27y^2\)

B. \(-14x^2 - 36xy^2 + 27y^2\)

C. \(8x^2 + 6x + 36xy^2 + 27y^2\)

D. \(14x^2 + 36xy^2 + 27y^2\)

Answer :

To find the product of
$$
(-2x-9y^2)(-4x-3),
$$
we multiply each term in the first factor by each term in the second factor:

1. Multiply the first term of the first factor, $-2x$, by the first term of the second factor, $-4x$:
$$
(-2x) \cdot (-4x)=8x^2.
$$

2. Multiply $-2x$ by the second term of the second factor, $-3$:
$$
(-2x) \cdot (-3)=6x.
$$

3. Multiply the second term of the first factor, $-9y^2$, by the first term of the second factor, $-4x$:
$$
(-9y^2) \cdot (-4x)=36xy^2.
$$

4. Multiply $-9y^2$ by $-3$, the second term of the second factor:
$$
(-9y^2) \cdot (-3)=27y^2.
$$

Now, combine all these results together:
$$
8x^2+6x+36xy^2+27y^2.
$$

Thus, the product is:
$$
\boxed{8x^2+6x+36xy^2+27y^2}.
$$
