Find the product: -4y^2(y^4+9y^3-y^2+3y+2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just multiply -4y^2 by each of the terms in the brackets. then collect like terms...understand?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just remember when you multiply exponents you add them actually so -4y^2 x y^4 is -4y^6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you gotta do the work yourself, dont milk the answer out of people, you will never learn

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am trying. -4y^2(y^4+9y^3-y^2+3y+2) -4y^6-36y^5+4-12y^3-8y^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and then

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1 sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you had a small mistake above. It should be: -4y^6-36y^5+4y^4-12y^3-8y^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the "y^4" part was missing - that's all.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

fiddle has this one under control

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no - I'm just watching :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

anyway rayray you did it :) In this case you there are no like terms that need collecting.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok I was wondering what I was suppose to do next:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just congratulate yourself.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[-4 y^6-36 y^5+4 y^4-12 y^3-8 y^2 \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you guys, that last part was starting to bother me but I didnt need to do anything else duh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well realizing there is nothing left to do is important too.
