Answer 1

-2x^2(3x^2 + 4).

Explanation:

2x^2(-5x^2 - 4) + 4x^4

Distribute the 2x^2 over the parentheses:

= -10x^4 - 8x^2 + 4x^4

= - 6x^4 - 8x^2

= -2x^2(3x^2 + 4).

Answer 2

-6x^4-8x^2 or -2x^2(3x^2+4)

Explanation:

Given expression is:

`2x^2(-5x^2-4)+4x^4`

In order to write the expression in simplest form we have to multiply the terms which needs to be multiplied.

So,

`= -10x^4-8x^2+4x^4`

Combining alike terms

`= -10x^4+4x^4-8x^2\\=-6x^4-8x^2\\`

Can also be written as:

`= -2x^2(3x^2+4)`
