Please help me simplify. I keep getting some weird answer.
3x^2(4x^3-2x^2+6x)-(x^5+5x^4-4x^3)+7x^5
For this question I got,
18x^5-11x^4+22x^3
Hope this helps!
Can you show me the steps how you got it.. it would help me alot
To simplify the given expression, you can start by distributing the 3x^2 across the terms inside the first parentheses:
3x^2 * 4x^3 = 12x^5
3x^2 * (-2x^2) = -6x^4
3x^2 * 6x = 18x^3
Next, distribute the negative sign across the terms inside the second parentheses:
-(x^5) = -x^5
-(5x^4) = -5x^4
-(4x^3) = -4x^3
Now, combine like terms:
12x^5 - 6x^4 + 18x^3 - x^5 - 5x^4 - 4x^3 + 7x^5
Simplify by combining the terms with the same exponent:
12x^5 - x^5 + 7x^5 - 6x^4 - 5x^4 + 18x^3 - 4x^3
Combine the like terms:
(12x^5 - x^5 + 7x^5) + (-6x^4 - 5x^4) + (18x^3 - 4x^3)
Simplify further:
18x^5 - 11x^4 + 14x^3
So, the simplified expression is 18x^5 - 11x^4 + 14x^3.
