Question

How can I simplify/rewrite the 1st(top) equation into the 2nd(Botton),please show a step by step solution.​

Answer 1

see below

Explanation:

`-2(4 - (x)/(2) )^(5) + C`

Think of the above as:

`-(2)/(1)` *
`((8)/(2) - (x)/(2) )^(5) + C`

=
`-(2)/(1)` *
`((8 - x)^(5))/(2^(5)) + C`

=
`-(2)/(1)` *
`((8 - x)^(5))/(32) + C`

=
`-(1)/(1)` *
`((8 - x)^(5))/(16) + C`

=
`(-1(8 - x)^(5))/(16) + C`

=
`((-8 + x)^(5))/(16) + C`

Can flip it around to be...

`((x - 8)^(5))/(16) + C`
