Question

Rewrite without parentheses.
−2x^3(6x^3−7x^2-2x)
Simplify your answer as much as possible.

Answer 1

\[-2x^3(6x^3-7x^2-2x)\]

Answer 2

so it helps me to separate the coefficients and the exponents first. so you can multiply -2 by 6 which equals...

Answer 3

-12 ?

Answer 4

yep and then you can do the same thing for the second part -2 times -7

Answer 5

-14?

Answer 6

actually a negative times a negative is positive so it would be +14

Answer 7

and then you have -2 times -2

Answer 8

oh yea true

Answer 9

4?

Answer 10

yep :) now we have -12 + 14 + 4 right?

Answer 11

yes

Answer 12

now with the exponents, because you are working with multiplication you will add the exponents okay

Answer 13

okay would it be -12x^6 + 14x^5 +4x^3 ?????

Answer 14

Yea! goodjob :D

Answer 15

thanks so much

Answer 16

one thing is that the last term should be x to the 4th because a regular x has an exponent of 1 so adding three would get 4 but other than that perfect :)

Answer 17

okay thanks it would be 4x^4 than ?

Answer 18

yep! your wwelcome :)

Answer 19

Answer 20
