Answer:
−8x^4 + 5x^3 + x^2
Explanation:
3x^3 + x^2 + 2 (x^3 − 4x^4)
Apply the distributive property.
3x^3 + x^2 + 2x^3 + 2 (−4x^4)
Multiply −4 by 2.
3x^3 + x^2 + 2x^3 − 8x^4
Simplify by adding terms.
Add 3x^3 and 2x^3.
5x^3 + x^2 − 8x^4
Simplify the expression.
Move x2.
5x^3 − 8x^4 + x^2
Reorder 5x^3 and −8x^4.
−8x^4 + 5x^3 + x^2
