Write -2x 2(-5x 2 +4x 3) in standard form.

OpenStudy (kgrendel0324):

Do you still need this?

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

there are -2x^2 and inside parentheses -5x^2 ???

OpenStudy (idani):

Yes

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

do you can multiplie these terms inside parentheses by -2x^2 ?

OpenStudy (idani):

Write -2x^2(-5x^2 +4x^3) in standard form.

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

yes this is ok. but you need multiplie them firstly

OpenStudy (idani):

I multiply them by each other?

OpenStudy (idani):

A. -8x5 - 20x4 B. -8x5 + 10x4 C. -7x + 2x4 D. -7x5 - 10x4

OpenStudy (idani):

Write -2x^2(-5x^2 +4x^3) in standard form.

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

or than just this inside parentheses you need writing so than you need just changing this place of 4x^3 and -5x^2

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so than will be -2x^2(4x^3 -5x^2) = ?

OpenStudy (idani):

Why do they change places

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

because always the greater range need being firstly like x^3 and after this the x^2 do you remember a quadratic is ax^2 +bx +c and not invers bx +ax^2 +c yes ?

OpenStudy (idani):

Yes I remember

jhonyy9 (jhonyy9):

so than this will be a standard form and after this just you need multiplie them ok. ?

OpenStudy (kgrendel0324):

It always goes in order by whatever has the highest degree. The degree is the exponents added up.

OpenStudy (idani):

I get 8x^5-10x^4

OpenStudy (kgrendel0324):

ehh almost..

OpenStudy (idani):

Is it a plus sign instead of the -

OpenStudy (kgrendel0324):

When you multiply \[-2x^2(-5x^2+4x^3) \]

OpenStudy (kgrendel0324):

you multiply -2x^2 and -5x^2 which gives you a positive 10x^4

OpenStudy (idani):

I though the -5x^2 and the 4x^3 changed places

OpenStudy (kgrendel0324):

then you multiply -2x^2 and +4x^3 which is negative 8x^5.

OpenStudy (kgrendel0324):

no

OpenStudy (kgrendel0324):

they stay the same

OpenStudy (idani):

Oh the other person told me that

OpenStudy (idani):

Is it b ?

OpenStudy (kgrendel0324):

So right now you have \[10x^4 -8x^5 \]

OpenStudy (kgrendel0324):

what is b?

OpenStudy (idani):

A. -8x5 - 20x4 B. -8x5 + 10x4 C. -7x + 2x4 D. -7x5 - 10x4

OpenStudy (kgrendel0324):

okay, yes because when you have 10x^4 it has a degree of 4 and -8x^5 has a degree of 5. So you switch -8x^5 with 10x^4 and you get -8x^5+10x^4.. When you do anything like this, you have to pay attention to the sign.

OpenStudy (idani):

Oh okay thank you so much !!! I really appreciate it

OpenStudy (kgrendel0324):
