Understanding the Problem

To find the correct expression, we need to understand the given functions p(x) and q(x). The function p(x) is a quadratic function, which is a polynomial of degree two, and the function q(x) is a linear function. We are asked to find the correct expression among the given options.

Analyzing the Options

Let's analyze each option to determine which one is correct.

Option A: $2x^2-4x+12$

This option adds a constant term of 12 to the function p(x). However, there is no indication that we need to add a constant term to the function p(x). Therefore, this option is unlikely to be correct.

Option B: $2x^2-16x+18$

This option multiplies the function p(x) by a constant factor of 2 and adds a constant term of 18. However, there is no indication that we need to multiply the function p(x) by a constant factor or add a constant term. Therefore, this option is unlikely to be correct.

Option C: $2x^2-16x+30$

This option multiplies the function p(x) by a constant factor of 2 and adds a constant term of 30. However, there is no indication that we need to multiply the function p(x) by a constant factor or add a constant term. Therefore, this option is unlikely to be correct.

Option D: $2x^2-16x+15$

This option multiplies the function p(x) by a constant factor of 2 and adds a constant term of 15. However, there is no indication that we need to multiply the function p(x) by a constant factor or add a constant term. Therefore, this option is unlikely to be correct.

Finding the Correct Expression

To find the correct expression, we need to examine the given functions p(x) and q(x) more closely. The function p(x) is a quadratic function, and the function q(x) is a linear function. We can try to find the product of the two functions by multiplying them together.

Multiplying the Functions

To multiply the functions p(x) and q(x), we need to multiply each term of the function p(x) by each term of the function q(x).

$$\begin{aligned} p(x) \cdot q(x) &= (2x^2-4x) \cdot (x-3) \\ &= 2x^2(x-3) - 4x(x-3) \\ &= 2x^3 - 6x^2 - 4x^2 + 12x \\ &= 2x^3 - 10x^2 + 12x \end{aligned}$$

Comparing the Results

Now that we have multiplied the functions p(x) and q(x), we can compare the result to the given options.

Comparing to Option A

The result of multiplying the functions p(x) and q(x) is $2x^3 - 10x^2 + 12x$. This is not equal to the expression in Option A, which is $2x^2-4x+12$. Therefore, Option A is not correct.

Comparing to Option B

The result of multiplying the functions p(x) and q(x) is $2x^3 - 10x^2 + 12x$. This is not equal to the expression in Option B, which is $2x^2-16x+18$. Therefore, Option B is not correct.

Comparing to Option C

The result of multiplying the functions p(x) and q(x) is $2x^3 - 10x^2 + 12x$. This is not equal to the expression in Option C, which is $2x^2-16x+30$. Therefore, Option C is not correct.

Comparing to Option D

The result of multiplying the functions p(x) and q(x) is $2x^3 - 10x^2 + 12x$. This is not equal to the expression in Option D, which is $2x^2-16x+15$. However, we can try to simplify the result of multiplying the functions p(x) and q(x) to see if it matches any of the options.

Simplifying the Result

To simplify the result of multiplying the functions p(x) and q(x), we can try to factor out a common term.

$$\begin{aligned} 2x^3 - 10x^2 + 12x &= 2x(x^2 - 5x + 6) \\ &= 2x(x-2)(x-3) \end{aligned}$$

Comparing the Simplified Result

Expanding the Simplified Result

To expand the simplified result of multiplying the functions p(x) and q(x), we can use the distributive property.

Simplifying Option D

To simplify the expression in Option D, we can try to factor out a common term.

$$\begin{aligned} 2x^2-16x+15 &= 2x^2-10x-6x+15 \\ &= 2x(x-5)-3(2x-5) \end{aligned}$$

Comparing the Simplified Option D

Now that we have simplified the expression in Option D, we can compare it to the result of multiplying the functions p(x) and q(x).
