Use a vertical format to find the product of the two polynomials. (3x2−4x−4) (3x2−4x−1) \left( 3 x ^ { 2 } - 4 x - 4 \right) \left( 3 x ^ { 2 } - 4 x - 1 \right) (3x24x4) (3x24x1)

Polynomials

An algebraic expression composed of variables and coefficients, structured as the sum of terms, where each term includes a variable raised to a non-negative integer power.

Vertical Format

A way of presenting information or data in columns that run up and down on a page or screen.

Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
3x^2 - 4x - 4
x 3x^2 - 4x - 1
------------------
9x^4 - 12x^3 - 3x^2 ← (3x^2) * (-1) = -3x^4
-12x^3 + 16x^2 + 4x ← (-4x) * (3x^2) + (-4x) * (-1)
-12x^2 + 16x + 4 ← (-4) * (3x^2) + (-4) * (-1)
------------------
9x^4 - 24x^3 + x^2 + 20x + 4
