What will be the expansion of ( (x-6)(x-2) )?

Advertisement

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(x^2-8x+12\)

Using the distributive property, \((x-6)(x-2)=x^2-2x-6x+12=x^2-8x+12\). Therefore, option A is correct. In option C, both the middle term and the constant term are incorrect. Exam tip: use \((x-a)(x-b)=x^2-(a+b)x+ab\) for quick expansion.
