Question

for the expression x(2x+4x^4-5-3x) use the distributive property to write an equivalent expression in standard form

Answer 1

To use the distributive property, we need to multiply each term inside the parentheses by the term outside the parentheses.

So, we have:

x(2x+4x^4-5-3x)

= (x * 2x) + (x * 4x^4) + (x * -5) + (x * -3x)

= 2x^2 + 4x^5 - 5x - 3x^2

Now, we can combine like terms to write the expression in standard form:

= 4x^5 - x^2 - 5x
