Perform the indicated operation. (2x + 4)(3x + 8 )

6x^2+28x+32

Step-by-step explanation:

Distributive Property: (2x*3x)+(2x*8)+(4*3x)(4*8)=

Simplify: 6x^2+16x+12x+32=

6x^2+28x+32

see explanation

step-by-step explanation:

since the sequence is geometric there is a common ratio r between consecutive terms, that is

r = 4 ÷ - 2 = - 2

r = - 8 ÷ 4 = - 2

r = 16 ÷ 8 = - 2

the next term - 13 must be incorrect as it should be - 32 for the sequence to be geometric.

the first 4 terms are therefore geometric with common ratio r = - 2

the discriminant is 64 + 4*1*12 = 112

this is prime.
