-12x +15?
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
here we have to apply the distributive property of multiplication over addition, so we can write:
\[ - 3\left( {4x + 5} \right) = - 3 \cdot \left( {4x} \right) + \left( { - 3} \right) \cdot 5\]
OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):
-12x + 15?
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
no, since -3*5 = -15

So, -12x - 15?
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
correct!
OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):
3 more please?
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
ok!

first question:
as before, we have to apply the distributive property of multiplication over addition, so we can write:
\[\begin{gathered}
5{k^2}\left( { - 6{k^2} - 2k + 6} \right) = \hfill \\
\hfill \\
= 5{k^2} \cdot \left( { - 6{k^2}} \right) + 5{k^2} \cdot \left( { - 2k} \right) + 5{k^2} \cdot 6 = ... \hfill \\
\end{gathered} \]
OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):
C? -k^4 + 3k^3 + 11k^2
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
no, because you have to compute multiplications, not additions:
5*(-6)=-30
5*(-2)=-10
5*6=30
OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):
D

yes!
OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):
And the second one is -42^2?
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
second question:
\[\left( { - 6x} \right) \cdot \left( {7{x^2}} \right) = \left( { - 6} \right) \cdot 7 \cdot x \cdot {x^2} = ...\]
again you have to compute multiplications only
OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):
-42x^2*
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
no, because x*x^2 = x^(1+2)=...

-42x^3?
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
that's right!
OpenStudy (michele_laino):
third question:
OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):
13y^2 -11y?
OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):
or y^2 -3y

as before, for previous exercises, we have to apply the distributive property of multiplication over addition, or also the foil method is a good procedure which we can apply. In both cases we can write this:
