Question

(0.4k3 – 2.5k) – (2.4k3 + 3k2 – 1.2k) =

Answer 1

ANSWER
The correct answer is


$- 2{k}^{3} - 3 {k}^{2} - 1.3k$


EXPLANATION

The given expression is
$(0.4 {k}^{3} - 2.5k) - (2.4 {k}^{3} + 3 {k}^{2} - 1.2k)$

We expand the brackets to obtain,


$0.4 {k}^{3} - 2.5k- 2.4 {k}^{3} - 3 {k}^{2} + 1.2k$

We now group like terms to obtain,

$0.4 {k}^{3} - 2.4 {k}^{3} - 3 {k}^{2} + 1.2k- 2.5k$

We simplify further to get,


$- 2.0 {k}^{3} - 3 {k}^{2} - 1.3k$

This is the same as,

$- 2{k}^{3} - 3 {k}^{2} - 1.3k$


Therefore the correct answer is option C.

Answer 2
