Given:


(a^2)\left(2a^3\right)\lparen a^2-8a+9)

To simplify:

Step-by-step explanation:

Using polynomial multiplication,


\begin{gathered} (a^2)(2a^3)\operatorname{\lparen}a^2-8a+9)=2a^5\left(a^2-8a+9\right? \\ =2a^7-16a^6+18a^5 \end{gathered}

Final answer:


\begin{equation*} 2a^7-16a^6+18a^5 \end{equation*}

The degree of the polynomial is the largest power value of the variable.

Here the factors are,


(a^2)(2a^3)\operatorname{\lparen}a^2-8a+9)

So, we have,

The degree of the first factor is 2.

The degree of the second factor is 3.

The degree of the third factor is 2.

The product has a degree of 7.
