Hey there!
In order to multiply these polynomials together, you will take both terms of the first polynomial and multiply them by each term in the second polynomial. You can then combine any like terms to get your final answer.
(2x² – 5x)(4x² – 12x + 10)
2x² × 4x² = 8x⁴
2x² × –12x = –24x³
2x² × 10 = 20x²
–5x × 4x² = –20x³
–5x × –12x = 60x²
–5x × 10 = –50x
Write all of these terms together. You can rearrange the similar ones to be next to each other.
8x⁴ – 24x³ – 20x³ + 20x² + 60x² – 50x
Just add or subtract the terms to simplify, if they can be.
8x⁴ – 44x³ + 80x² – 50x
(8x⁴ – 44x³ + 80x² – 50x) will be your final answer.
Hope this helped you out! :-)
In this item, it can be seen that from an expression of,
(4 + 5i) + (-3 + 7i)
Aiko transformed the equation by factoring out the i's from the expression and wrote it as,
(4 + 5)i + (-3 + 7)i
Now this is wrong because i there is not a variable but a notation that 5 and 7 are imaginary numbers. In fact, she cannot factor out the i's because it is not present in both -3 and 4. The answer therefore to this item is the last sentence, "Aiko incorrectly used the distributive property by combining ..."
