Choose the correct simplification of the expression -5x2(4x - 6x2 - 3).
30x4 - 20x3 + 15x2
-11x4 - x3 - 8x2
-30x4 + 20x3 - 15x2
30x4 + 20x3 + 15x2
Solution:
Given -5x2(4x - 6x2 - 3)
Using distributive law, we multiply the term outside the brackets with each term inside the brackets.
(-5x2×4x) + (-5x2×- 6x2)+ (-5x2×- 3)
We get, -20x3 +30x4 +15x2
Arrange the terms in polynomial form
30x4 - 20x3 + 15x2
Choose the correct simplification of the expression -5x2(4x - 6x2 - 3).
Summary:
The correct simplification of the expression -5x2(4x - 6x2 - 3) is 30x4 - 20x3 + 15x2
