Question

how do I simplify (8x^2-3)(8x^2+5)

Answer 1

What does ^ mean?

Answer 2

8x^2....the 2 would be the exponent

Answer 3

Ok so that's basically 8x^4+2

Answer 4

thanks I see, I think

Answer 5

Lol just add the exponents and since 5 is positive and 3 is negative you get 2. That leaves you with 8x^4+2.
