Question

what is the coefficients of x² in (2-3x) (x²-5)​

Answer 1

Answer:

+2

Step-by-step explanation:

=> $(2-3x)(x^2-5)$

=> $(2x^2-10-3x^3+15x)$

Arranging it in descending order

=> $-3x^2+2x^2+15x-10$

So, the coefficient of x² in this expression is +2

Answer 2

This depends if you are supposed to simplify the binomials first:

If you leave it in the form provided then the coefficient would be 1

However, you can multiply the binomials together in order to simplify the expression:

$(2 - 3x)( {x}^{2} - 5)$

$(2 \times {x}^{2} ) + (2 \times - 5) + ( - 3x \times {x}^{2} ) + ( - 3x \times - 5)$

${ - 3x}^{3} + {2x}^{2} + 15x - 10$

Which then shows the coefficient would be 2

So it all depends on the directions provided, I would assume the correct answer is 2 if the directions are the exact same as provided on Brainly.
