<span>The correct answer is 216x</span>⁶<span>y</span>⁵<span>.
Explanation:
The first thing we do is raise the last monomial to the third power.
(4xy)(2x</span>²<span>y)(3xy)</span>³
<span>=(4xy)(2x</span>²<span>y)(3</span>³<span>x</span>³<span>y</span>³<span>)
=4xy(2x</span>²<span>y)(27x</span>³<span>y</span>³<span>).
Now we can multiply the first two monomials. When we multiply powers with the same base, we add the exponents:
8x</span>³<span>y</span>²<span>(27x</span>³<span>y</span>³<span>).
We multiply these last two monomials, again adding the exponents:
216x</span>⁶<span>y</span>⁵<span>.</span>
Step-by-step explanation:
y = 8x² + 8x - 96
y = 8(x² + x - 12)
y = 8(x + 4)(x - 3)
When y = 0, 8(x + 4)(x - 3) = 0.
=> x = -4 or x = 3. (B)
