Answer 1

Answer:

All are incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

Required

Determine which is correct or not

$(a)\ 2x * 2x = 4x$

This is incorrect because:

$2x * 2x = 2 * 2 * x*x$

$2x * 2x = 4x^2$ ---- fixed

$(b)\ 3x^3 * 3x^3 = 9x^9$

This is incorrect because:

$3x^3 * 3x^3 = 3 * 3 * x^3 * x^3$

$3x^3 * 3x^3 = 9x^(3+3)$

$3x^3 * 3x^3 = 9x^6$ ---- fixed

$(c)\ 4x(4x + 5) =8x + 5$

This is incorrect because:

$4x(4x + 5) =4x * 4x + 4x * 5$

$4x(4x + 5) =16x^2 + 20x$ ---- fixed
