Answer:
errr polynomials ahaha
so basically we can multiply the power outside of the parantheses with the exponents on the inside:
so

this will give us:
-3x^8y^4
we also unfortunately, have to use the power on the coefficient -3 as well and we cant just MULTIPLY -3 by 4, we are going to have to multiply -3 with -3 4 TIMES(anytime we see a coefficient we MUST multiply the coefficient by itself according to the number outside of the parantheses)
so:
-3*-3*-3*-3=81
final expression

258 cubic inches
Since the boxes are kind of on their own—>
First box: 7*2*12 = 168
Second box: 5*2*9=90
168+90 = 258
Given that,
An equation : -9c² +2c +3 = 0
To find,
Find the value of x.
Solution,
We have, -9c² +2c +3 = 0
We can solve it using the formula as follows :

Here, a = -9, b = 2 and c =3
Put the values,

So, the solution are -0.47 and 0.69.
