Answer: Expanding the expression:
(2x * 2^+3) * (4x + 5) - 8x * (x^2^-2)
Start with the first set of parentheses:
2x * 2^+3 = 2x * 8 = 16x
Next, the second set of parentheses:
16x * (4x + 5) = 16x * 4x + 16x * 5 = 64x^2 + 80x
Finally, the third set:
-8x * (x^2^-2) = -8x * x^2^-2 = -8x * (1/x^2) = -8/x
So the final expanded form is:
64x^2 + 72x - 8/x
