Question

Choose the product. -7p 3(4p 2 + 3p - 1) -28p5 - 21p4 + 7p3 28p6 + 21p3 - 7p 21p3 + 8p2 + 3p4 - 8p -21p5 + 8p4 - 3p3

Answer 1

-28p^5 - 21p^4 + 7p^3

Explanation:

Apply the distributive property by multiplying -7p^3 into each term within the parenthesis. When you multiply expressions with the same base and an exponent, remember to add the exponents. For example a^2 (a^3) = a^ 2+3 = a^5.

-7p 3(4p 2 + 3p - 1)

-28p^5 - 21p^4 + 7p^3
