Answer:
( 3 )The simplified product has a degree of 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex](b-2c)(-3b+c)[/tex]
Multiply the parenthesis using FOIL method
multiply b inside the second parenthesis
[tex]b(-3b+c)= -3b^2 +bc[/tex]
[tex]-2c(-3b+c)= 6bc -2c^2[/tex]
[tex](-3b^2 +bc+6bc -2c^2)[/tex]
Combine like terms
[tex]-3b^2 +7bc -2c^2[/tex]
Simplified product has 3 terms, and the degree of 2 because we have b^2
and c^2
