Answer
The product is \( -32x^{4} + 12x^{3} \).
Solution
1. Multiply \( 4x \) by each term inside the parentheses:
- Multiply \( 4x \) by \( -8x^3 \):
\[
4x \cdot (-8x^3) = -32x^{4}
\]
- Multiply \( 4x \) by \( 3x^2 \):
\[
4x \cdot 3x^2 = 12x^{3}
\]
2. Combine the results:
\[
-32x^{4} + 12x^{3}
\]

Bonus Knowledge
When you multiply \(4x\) by \(-8x^{3}+3x^{2}\), you distribute \(4x\) to each term inside the parentheses. This gives you: \[ 4x \cdot (-8x^{3}) + 4x \cdot (3x^{2}) = -32x^{4} + 12x^{3}. \] So the simplified product is \(-32x^{4} + 12x^{3}\). Now you're left with a polynomial! It’s like a creative recipe, blending all those ingredients (terms) into a beautifully simplified dish. Each part contributes to the final flavor!
