Question

what is the first step in simplifying the expression (2-3x4+5)^2

Answer 1

\[(7-3x^4)(7-3x^4)\]

Answer 2

I added the 5 + 2 to get the seven.
then i rearranged it to get 7-3x^4. Since the whole thing is raised to the 2, I separated it so that i could multiply the quadratic.

Answer 3

1)square 5
2) add 4 and 5
3)subtract 3 from 2
4)mult 3 by 4
which one do i do first????

Answer 4

1. add the 5 and 2
2. cross multiply

u don't subtract 3 from 2 b/c 3 contains x. You can only do arithmetics on like terms.

Answer 5

im not sure if your 3x is raised to the 4th power or not.

Answer 6

yeah but i have to pick one of those 4
its multiple choice
