Question

I don’t understand this

Answer 1

You have to multiply whats outside the parenthesis with everything that is inside, so

$x^{-3}y^0.(x^2-3x^5y^4)$

$x^{-3}y^0.x^2-x^{-3}y^0.3x^5y^4$

Multiplication of same bases we sum the exponents

$x^{-3+2}y^0-3x^{-3+5}y^{0+4}$

$x^{-1}.1-3x^2y^4$

$x^{-1}-3x^2y^4$

Alternative B.
