5r^2 s^2(-2r^2+3rs-4s^2) help please i don't understand. x.x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what are you supposed to do?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Simplify?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

supposed to simplify yeah =/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and write the product as a polynomial

OpenStudy (anonymous):

expand the equation first and you should get this \(-10r^4s^2+15r^3s^3-20r^2s^4\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry, it's not an equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but yeah, simplified

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no cause i don't think your supposed to multiply the 5r^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

only the on next the the parenthsis

OpenStudy (anonymous):

which is x^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i mean s^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

was your question this: \(5r^2 s^2(-2r^2+3rs-4s^2)\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yess

OpenStudy (anonymous):

or was there something between \(5r^2\) and \(s^2\)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then 5r^2 is bonded to s^2 by multiplication

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh ok thank you i'll take your advice than

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you're welcome.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks!
