Question

Multiplying polynomials 4n2(n2 + 5n - 8)

Answer 1

4n^4 + 20n^3 - 32n^2

Explanation:

We have to distribute 4n2 to each term.

4n2 x n2. We can multiply the two n2 together resulting in 4n^4.

Now we do 4n2 x 5n. Here we multiply 4 x 5 which equals 20. Then, we multiply the n2 and n. Which results in n^3. Now we put them together; 20n^3.

Finally, we multiply 4n2 by -8. Since 8 doesn't have any variables, we just multiply the 4 and -8. Which equals to -32, now we just combine -32 and the variable; -32n2.

Now we combine these terms together. Our final answer is, 4n^4 + 20n^3 -32n^2.

^ represents an exponent.
