Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

Let's work out the subtraction of the polynomial to find out where the error is and the correct result we should have.

6x² - 4x - 5

- 3x² - 7x + 2

= [6x² - 3x²] [-4x -(-7x)] [-5 -(+2)]

= 3x² + 3x - 7

The error that was made in the subtraction given in the question was that the negative signs before the terms, 7x and 5 were ignored while subtracting.

The sign is very important, it defines the value of the term.

We can choose to solve the problem in another way shown below:

(6x² - 4x - 5) - (3x² - 7x + 2)

Distributive the negative sign in the second polynomial

6x² - 4x - 5 - 3x² + 7x - 2

Combine like terms

6x² - 3x² - 4x + 7x - 5 - 2

3x² + 3x - 7

Answer:

$10x^4\sqrt{6}+x^3\sqrt{30x}-10x^4\sqrt{3}-x^3\sqrt{15x}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Remove perfect squares from under the radicals.

$(\sqrt{10x^4}-x\sqrt{5x^2})(2\sqrt{15x^4}+\sqrt{3x^3})\\\\=(\sqrt{10x^4})(2\sqrt{15x^4}) +(\sqrt{10x^4})(\sqrt{3x^3}) -(x\sqrt{5x^2})(2\sqrt{15x^4}) -(x\sqrt{5x^2})(\sqrt{3x^3})\\\\=2\sqrt{150x^8}+\sqrt{30x^7}-2x\sqrt{75x^6}-x\sqrt{15x^5}\\\\=\boxed{10x^4\sqrt{6}+x^3\sqrt{30x}-10x^4\sqrt{3}-x^3\sqrt{15x}}$
