2(3c to the 2nd power+ c +-2
Please check
6c to the 4th power+c squared + -4
so u mean, 2(3c^2+c-2)
whatever is in front of the brackets, u multiply it by each term in the bracket so, 6c^2+2c-4.
To check if the expression 2(3c^2 + c - 2) is equal to 6c^4 + c^2 - 4, we can simplify both expressions and see if they are equal.
Let's start with the first expression:
2(3c^2 + c - 2)
Distribute the 2 to each term inside the parentheses:
6c^2 + 2c - 4
Now let's simplify the second expression:
6c^4 + c^2 - 4
Since there are no like terms to combine, this expression is already simplified.
Now let's compare the two expressions:
6c^2 + 2c - 4 (first expression)
6c^4 + c^2 - 4 (second expression)
As you can see, the two expressions are not equal. The first expression simplifies to 6c^2 + 2c - 4, while the second expression is 6c^4 + c^2 - 4.
Therefore, the statement "2(3c^2 + c - 2) is equal to 6c^4 + c^2 - 4" is false.
