Question

How would I go about factoring this?
-3(x+2)^4-6
Do I multiply out (x+2) 4 times?
Do I distribute negative 3 and then multiply it out?

Answer 1

it will be the same either way but will be a lot simpler to multiply out (x+2) 4 times

Answer 2

Okay, Thanks!

Answer 3

\[-3 (x+2)^4-6\]

Expanded Form:
\[-3 x^4-24 x^3-72 x^2-96 x-54\]

Answer 4

i got \[-3x ^{4}-24x ^{3}-72x ^{2}-96x-48\]

Answer 5

never mind he is right its 54 because i forgot to subtract the 6
