Solve the following
2a(a squared+4a)
You don't have an equation, so "solving" is the wrong instruction.
are you expanding 2a(a^2 + 4a) ?
then...
= 2a^3 + 8a^2
thank you
To solve the given expression "2a(a^2 + 4a)", we can apply the distributive property to simplify it.
First, distribute the 2a to each term inside the parentheses:
2a(a^2 + 4a) = 2a * a^2 + 2a * 4a
Now, multiply the factors:
= 2a * a^2 + 8a^2
= 2a^3 + 8a^2
So, the simplified expression is 2a^3 + 8a^2.
