Question

simpilfy the term
In the problem (-2xy^3)(4x^2y^2), Jose got -6x^2y^6. Correct his 3 mistakes.

Answer 1

I would just multiply everything out in a step by step fashion. You'll probably find that instead of adding or subtracting correctly (sign error) you get -6x^2*y^6.

Does that make sense on what i mean?

Answer 2

so thats the answer??

Answer 3

I think the point of the exercise is to try and figure out how you could have made a math error to get that answer. So you have to play detective a bit. :D
