this guy is right ^

Your answers are all correct, but online one usually uses ^ for powers, so #1 would be written as

5x^2 (2x-3)

also, copy/paste does not do well with special characters, so that's why your exponents came out as they did, and why π didn't show at all.

I had to scratch my head some on #4!

ummm is right!!

Texas Connections Academy Houston Grade 9 Connexus Unit 4 Lesson 2, Multiplying and Factoring Polynomials with Mrs. V in February 2023, the correct answers are:

B: 10x^3-15x^2
C: 2c
A: 3d^2(2d^2+3d-4)
D: 16x^2(25-"pi")
D: -3z^3-10z^2-4

@steve lol

Thank You very much. And Thank You for showing me how to do the exponents.

aww, shucks. How could I refuse? My first girlfriend's name was Deborah!

Thanks. They were all correct.
