3 4 1 ∗ ( − 2 5 3 ) = 4 13 ∗ ( − 5 13 ) = − 4 ∗ 5 13 ∗ 13 = − 20 169 = − 8 20 9
3 4 3 ⋅ ( − 2 5 3 ) = 4 3 ⋅ 4 + 1 ⋅ ( − 5 2 ⋅ 5 + 3 ) = 4 13 ⋅ ( − 5 13 ) = − 4 ⋅ 5 13 ⋅ 13 = − 20 169 = − 8 20 9 A n s w er : A
The product of 3 4 1 and − 2 5 3 is − 8 20 9 . Therefore, the correct option is A. -8 \frac{9}{20}.
