Answer

$6t^3+t^2-14t-3$

Work Step by Step

Using the Distributive Property, the product of the given expression, $ (2t+3)(3t^2-4t-1) ,$ is \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} 2t(3t^2)+2t(-4t)+2t(-1)+3(3t^2)+3(-4t)+3(-1) \\\\= 6t^3-8t^2-2t+9t^2-12t-3 \\\\= 6t^3+(-8t^2+9t^2)+(-2t-12t)-3 \\\\= 6t^3+t^2-14t-3 .\end{array}
