B. [tex]\(14x^6 - 56x^5 - 91x^4 - 140x^3 - 315x^2\)[/tex]

C. [tex]\(14x^7 - 56x^6 - 126x^5 + 35x^4 - 140x^3 - 315x^2\)[/tex]

D. [tex]\(14x^{12} - 182x^6 + 35x^4 - 455x^2\)[/tex]



Answer :

To solve the given problem of multiplying three expressions:
[tex]\[ \left(7 x^2\right)\left(2 x^3+5\right)\left(x^2-4 x-9\right) \][/tex]
let's break it down step by step.

First, let's consider the individual expressions:

1. [tex]\( 7 x^2 \)[/tex]
2. [tex]\( 2 x^3 + 5 \)[/tex]
3. [tex]\( x^2 - 4 x - 9 \)[/tex]

We need to multiply these three together.

### Step 1: Multiply the first two expressions
We start by multiplying [tex]\( 7 x^2 \)[/tex] with [tex]\( 2 x^3 + 5 \)[/tex]:

[tex]\[ 7 x^2 \cdot (2 x^3 + 5) = 7 x^2 \cdot 2 x^3 + 7 x^2 \cdot 5 \][/tex]

[tex]\[ = 14 x^5 + 35 x^2 \][/tex]

### Step 2: Multiply the result with the third expression
Next, we take [tex]\( 14 x^5 + 35 x^2 \)[/tex] and multiply it by [tex]\( x^2 - 4 x - 9 \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ (14 x^5 + 35 x^2) \cdot (x^2 - 4 x - 9) \][/tex]

Distribute each term in [tex]\( 14 x^5 + 35 x^2 \)[/tex] across each term in [tex]\( x^2 - 4 x - 9 \)[/tex]:

[tex]\[ = 14 x^5 \cdot x^2 + 14 x^5 \cdot (-4x) + 14 x^5 \cdot (-9) \][/tex]
[tex]\[ + 35 x^2 \cdot x^2 + 35 x^2 \cdot (-4x) + 35 x^2 \cdot (-9) \][/tex]

Perform each multiplication:
[tex]\[ = 14 x^7 + (-56 x^6) + (-126 x^5) \][/tex]
[tex]\[ + 35 x^4 + (-140 x^3) + (-315 x^2) \][/tex]

### Step 3: Combine like terms
Now, we combine all the terms:
[tex]\[ = 14 x^7 - 56 x^6 - 126 x^5 + 35 x^4 - 140 x^3 - 315 x^2 \][/tex]

### Conclusion
Therefore, the product of the given expressions is:

[tex]\[ 14 x^7 - 56 x^6 - 126 x^5 + 35 x^4 - 140 x^3 - 315 x^2 \][/tex]

The corresponding multiple-choice answer is:
[tex]\[ \boxed{14 x^7 - 56 x^6 - 126 x^5 + 35 x^4 - 140 x^3 - 315 x^2} \][/tex]
