Answer:
the "b" term is the term "-5 x" in the final quadratic expression
Step-by-step explanation:
Normally the "b" is the "linear term" in a quadratic equation.
So, perform the product of binomials and combine like terms to identify the final "b" term of the quadratic expression you get:
[tex](x-4)*(2x+3)=2x^2 +3x-8x-12=2x^2-5x-12[/tex]
Therefore the "b" term is the term "-5 x" in the final quadratic expression.
