The correct option is B Product=24x2+17xy−20y2
Coefficient of xy=−17
Step 1:––––––––
Evaluating the product using FOIL rule:
(3x−4y)×(8x+5y)
=3x×(8x+5y)−4y×(8x+5y)
=3x×(8x+5y)––––––––––––––––−4y×(8x+5y)––––––––––––––––
=(3x×8x)+(3x×5y)−(4y×8x)
−(4y×5y)
=24x2+15xy−32xy−20y2 ( Since am×an=am+n )
=24x2−17xy−20y2
The value of the product (3x−4y)×(8x+5y) is 24x2−17xy−20y2.
Step 2:––––––––
The value of the product (3x−4y)×(8x+5y) is 24x2−17xy−20y2.
Coefficient of x2 in the product =24
Coefficient of xy in the product =−17
Coefficient of y2 in the product =−20
Therefore, option (b.) is the correct answer.
