Full solution

Q. Find the product. Simplify your answer.\newline(2k+1)(k2)(2k + 1)(k - 2)
  1. Distribute 2k2k: Now, we will distribute 2k2k across the terms in the second binomial.\newline2k(k2)=2k×k2k×22k(k - 2) = 2k \times k - 2k \times 2\newline=2k24k= 2k^2 - 4k
  2. Distribute 11: Next, we will distribute 11 across the terms in the second binomial.1(k2)=1×k1×21(k - 2) = 1 \times k - 1 \times 2=k2= k - 2
  3. Combine terms: Now, we will combine the results from the previous steps.\newline(2k+1)(k2)=(2k24k)+(k2)(2k + 1)(k - 2) = (2k^2 - 4k) + (k - 2)\newline=2k24k+k2= 2k^2 - 4k + k - 2
  4. Simplify expression: Finally, we will combine like terms to simplify the expression. 2k24k+k2=2k23k22k^2 - 4k + k - 2 = 2k^2 - 3k - 2
