The value of of the power is 5, because it is 3^5.
(2k² + 5k - 6)(3k - 1)
(6k³ - 2k² + 15k² - 5k - 18k + 6)
6k² + 13k² - 23k + 6
Use the FOIL method to simplify the problem.
(FOIL stands for first outer, inner, last)
A^2 +a-6. You use the method of foiling where you multiply the first two terms, the the outside terms, the inside terms, then the last terms. You would do a•a, then a•-2 the a•3 then 3•-2. You would get a^2 -2a +3a -6. Then combine like terms to get your answer.
1/1/2 is the answer ............
