Question

35 POINTS

Simplify the following expression

Answer 1

Explanation:

c (3c^5 + c + b - 4 ) <======use distributive property of multiplication

to expand to :

3 c^6 + c^2 + bc -4c Done .

Answer 2

`3c^(6)+c^(2)+bc-4c`

Explanation:

We are given:

`c(3c^(5)+c+b-4)`

and are asked to simplify.

To simplify this, we have to use the distributive property to distribute the c (outside of parenthesis) to the terms and values inside the parenthesis.

`(3c^(5))(c)+(c)(c)+(b)(c)+(-4)(c)\\=3c^(6) +c^(2) +bc-4c`

So our final equation is:

`3c^(6)+c^(2)+bc-4c`

Hope this helps! :)
