Question

Use the box method to distribute and simplify (4x + 6)(- 6x ^ 4 - 4x - 6x ^ 3 + 6 + 4x ^ 2) . Drag and drop the terms to the correct locations of the table.

Answer 1

= -24x^5 -60x^4 - 20x^3 + 8x^2+36

Explanation:

Given the expression

(4x + 6)(- 6x^4 - 4x - 6x ^ 3 + 6 + 4x ^ 2)

Expand

4x(- 6x^4 - 4x - 6x ^ 3 + 6 + 4x ^ 2)+6(- 6x^4 - 4x - 6x ^ 3 + 6 + 4x ^ 2)

= -24x^5 -16x^2-24x^4+24x+16x^3 - 36x^4 -24x-36x^3+36+24x^2

= -24x^5 -24x^4 - 36x^4+16x^3-36x^3 -16x^2+24x^2+24x-24x+36

= -24x^5 -60x^4 - 20x^3 + 8x^2+36

This gives the required expression
