Sample Test Item 51 (2003)

Posted on December 11th, 2007 by admin

Method #1

Starting with the expression

2x(x² + 3xy + 6y²)

We multiply out the expression

2x³ + 6x²y + 12xy²

Choice B is the correct answer.

Method #2

Another way to look at this is eliminating the impossible answers.

Choices C and D are not possible because the first x term is multiplied by an x² term yielding an x³ term as the first term of the expression.

Choice A is not possible because the last term must be an xy² term.

The only correct answer is Choice B.
