When you multiply the linear and a quadratic expressions, (x2 − 4)(x − 2), what type of expression will the product be? Select all that apply.

cubic expression.

x3 - 2x2 - 4x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

(x2 − 4) (x − 2)

first we will multiply both parenthesis

(x2 * x) + (x2 * -2) + (-4 * x) + (-4 * -2)

then you simplify the parenthesis

(x3) + (-2x2) + (-4x) + (8)

then we eliminate the parenthesis

x3 - 2x2 - 4x + 8

and finally we have an cubic expression
