To get -4 from 1, we must either subtract 5 from 1 or mult. 1 by -4.  Unfortunately subtracting 5 from -4 does not result in 9, and mult -4 by -4 does not result in -16.  So neither "works"  in predicting the next term.

Can you think of any other experiments to do that would help you discover the pattern 1, -4, 9, -16?

The  absolute values of each term are a  sequence of  perfect squares  and the sign alternates  so the next term would be 5^2 = 25 answer.

7) Use distributive property
3x(4x⁴ - 5x)=3x*4x⁴- 3x*5x = 12x⁵ - 15x²
8) When you open parenthesis with minus sigh in front of it, you need change sings of the terms on opposite. Then find like terms.
(5x⁴-3x³+6x)-(3x³+11x²-8x)= 5x⁴-3x³+6x -3x³-11x²+8x =5x⁴-6x³ - 11x²+14x
9)(x-2)(3x-4)=x*3x-4x-6x+8=3x²-10x+8
10) (x+6)²=(x+6)(x+6)=x²+6x+6x+36=x²+12x+36
For (x+6)², you can also use the formula of the perfect square
(a+b)²=a²+2ab+b²
For (x+6)² =x²+2*x*6 +6²=x²+12x+36
