Multiply and simplify (x-2) (2x+1)

2x² - 3x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

(x - 2)(2x + 1)

Each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor, that is

x(2x + 1) - 2(2x + 1) ← distribute both parenthesis

= 2x² + x - 4x - 2 ← collect like terms

= 2x² - 3x - 2

step-by-step explanation:

we have

using a graphing tool

the graph in the attached figure

the roots are ( x-intercepts) x=-0.5,x=1,x=3

the y-intercept is the point (0,3)
