Question

Simplify the product.
8p(-3p^2+6p-2)
Please show Step-by-Step

Answer 1

-24p^3 + 48p^2 -16p

Explanation:

Okay this isn't to hard for problems like this, you just have to multiply 8p to the numbers in the presentation so let's do it

8p*-3p^2= -24p^3

8*-3=-24

p*p^2=p^3

combine them both and get:

ans: -24p^3

8p*6p=48p^2

8*6=48

p*p=p^2

combine them both and get:

ans: 48p^2

8p*-2=-16p

8*2=-16

-16*p=-16p

ans:-16p

Then combine everything and get:-24p^3 + 48p^2 -16p
