Question

Help me please its confusing pleasee

Answer 1

Answer:

a) -8x³+x²+6x

d) 16x²-9

Step-by-step explanation:

a) -2x(x+4x²)+3(x²+2x)

Expand each bracket:

-2x(x+4x²)

As the -2x is on the outside of the bracket, you have to times everything inside the bracket by -2x.

-2x times x equals -2x²

-2x times 4x² equals -8x³

Then we expand the other bracket:

3(x²+2x)

3 times x² equals 3x²

3 times 2x equals 6x

We then put all of it together:

-2x²-8x³+3x²+6x

Collect like terms:

-8x³+x²+6x

b) (4x-3)(4x+3)

We will use the FOIL method:

F-First

O-outer

I-Inner

L-Last

Times the first two terms in each bracket:

4x times 4x equals 16x²

Times the outer terms in the bracket:

4x times 3 equals 12x

Times the inside terms in the bracket:

-3 times 4x equals -12x

Times the last terms in the bracket:

-3 times 3 equals -9

Put it together:

16x²+12x-12x-9

The 12x and -12x cancel out to leave 16x²-9

Hope this helps :)
