Question

Expand. Your answer should be a polynomial in standard form. -p^2(p^2-p-1)=

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use distributive property. Then use exponent law.

Exponent law used here = $a^{m}*a^{n}=a^{m+n}$

$-p^{2}(p^{2} - p - 1) = -p^{2}*p^{2} - p *(-p^{2}) - 1*(-p^{2}) \\\\= -p^{4} + p^{3}+p^{2}$
