None of them.
\n" ); document.write( "Use FOIL to multiply
\n" ); document.write( "1/2 b*h=24x^3+8x^2-12x-4
\n" ); document.write( "a) (4x^2+1)(3x-2)=12x^3-8x^2+3x-2
\n" ); document.write( "b) (4x^2-2)(3x+2)=12x^3+8x^2-6x-4
\n" ); document.write( "C) (4x^2+2)(3x-1)=12x^3-4x^2+6x-2
\n" ); document.write( "D) (4x^2-2)(3x-1)=12x^3-4x^2-6x+2
\n" ); document.write( "We want half of those amounts not double.
\n" ); document.write( "Only b has the right signs.
\n" ); document.write( "Which one works out to 24x^3+8x^2-12x-4\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Remember you take 1/2 of b*h\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
