–2x(–3x ^2y)(2y) = ?
A. 12x^3y^2
B. –3xy^2
C. 3xy^2
D. –12x^3y^2
24x^3y^2
I do not see the answer
TYpo
12x^3y^2
A
To simplify the expression -2x(-3x^2y)(2y), we need to apply the rules of multiplication and combine like terms.
Step 1: Multiply the coefficients:
-2 * -3 = 6
Step 2: Multiply the variables with the same bases:
x * x^2 = x^(1+2) = x^3
y * y = y^2
Step 3: Multiply the remaining coefficients:
6 * 1 = 6
Step 4: Combine the variables:
x^3 * y^2
Putting it all together, the simplified expression is 6x^3y^2. Therefore, the correct answer is not among the options provided.
