Question

Can someone please help me? I don't understand how to do this. I need to multiply this polynomial 3(X-2)^4. Also, the ^4 means the power of 4, or exponent 4.

Answer 1

do you need a graph of it or it just multiplied out step by step?

Answer 2

3x^4-24x^3+72x^2-96x+48

Explanation:

1. (x-2)^4

=(x-2)(x-2)(x-2)(x-2)

=x^4-8x^3+24x^2-32x+16

2. 3(x^4-8x^3+24x^2-32x+16)

=3x^4-24x^3+72x^2-96x+48
