(-2y)^2(3x^3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know what (-2y)^2 is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but thats none of my answers....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dont pay any attentio nto eyad... again a good guess but wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im still as confused...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you square -2y ? what is (-2y)^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's the same as (-2)^2 times (y)^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that doesnt make any sense to me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you simplify \[(-2y)^2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya -4y^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

almost.... but what is -2 times -2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's right... so the first part of that expression is 4y^2 now multiply that by 3x^3 and you have it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(4)y^2(3)x^3\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12x^3y^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its an expontent....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

exactly... good work

OpenStudy (anonymous):

didnt mean to offend you eyad... but throwing an answer out there doesnt help anyone, especially if it is a wrong answer... and we all make mistakes
