Question

simplify: 4(2m^3 - y^1)

Answer 1

multiply 4 against each of the terms in the parenthesis... \[8m^3 - 4y\]

Answer 2

But I'd actually consider the original version more simplified, but that's just me I guess.

Answer 3

are you sure sure, because i thought you should cube the 3 first then multipy by 4

Answer 4

Is the cube just the m? or is it the quantity of (2m)^3?

Answer 5

quantity

Answer 6

If you have this:
\[8(2m)^3 \]
then yes, you'll cube 2m first (8m^3) then multiply by 8.
