(p³)(2p² - 4p)(3p² - 1) = (p³)(2p²*3p² - 4p*3p² - 1*2p² - 4p*(-1)) =
= (p³)(6p⁴ - 12p³ - 2p² + 4p)
Answer: A)
Multiply (or distribute) the exponent<span> outside the parenthesis with every </span>exponent<span>inside the parenthesis, remember that if there is no </span>exponent<span> shown, then the </span>exponent<span> is 1. Step 3: Apply the </span>Negative Exponent<span> Rule. </span>Negative exponents<span> in the numerator get moved to the denominator and become positive </span>exponents<span>.</span>
Common ratio, r = (-125)/625 = -0.2
First term, a = 625
7 term
= ar^6
= 625(-0.2)^6
= -0.04
