MCQ
Simplify the polynomial and write it in standard form:
$-3(x^3 - x^2 - 2x - 5) - (4x^3 - 7x -1)$
  • $-7x^3 + 3x^2 + 13x + 16$
  • B
    $7x^3 + 2x^2 + 11x + 16$
  • C
    $-6x^3+ 3x^2 + 12x + 14$
  • D
    $-4x^3 + 3x^2 + 11x + 15$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$-7x^3 + 3x^2 + 13x + 16$

Solve the polynomial as follows:$ -3(x^3 - x^2 - 2x - 5) - (4x^3 - 7x - 1)$
$= -3x^3+ 3x^2 + 6x + 15 - 4x^3 + 7x + 1$
$= -7x^3 + 3x^2 + 13x + 16$
