Question

Simplify the following expression.

Answer 1

Answer: A. -10u³ - 16u² + 4u

Answer 2

Answer:
`-10u^(3)-16u^(2)+4u`

Explanation:

To solve the problem shown in the image attached, you must apply a property called Distributive property of multiplication. This means that you must multiply each term inside the parentheses by
`2u`.

Therefore, keeping this on mind, you obtain the following result:

`2u(-5u^(2)-8u+2)=(2u)(-5u^(2))+(2u)(-8u)+(2u)(2)= -10u^(3)-16u^(2)+4u`
