Choose the correct simplification of 8x2(5x + 2x2 − 3).

16x4 − 40x3 + 24x2
16x4 + 40x3 − 24x2
40x4 + 16x3 − 5x2
40x4 − 10x3 + 5x2

Respuesta :

Answer: 16x + 40x³ − 24x²

Explanation:
[tex]8x^2(5x + 2x^2 - 3) = 16x^4 + 40x^3 - 24x^2[/tex]

The expression given to us is:

[tex] 8x^2(5x+2x^2-3) [/tex]

Herein, we can simplify it by opening up the bracket and multiplying each term inside the bracket by the term [tex] 8x^2 [/tex] which is outside the bracket.

Thus, we get:

[tex] 8x^2(5x+2x^2-3)=8\times 5x^{2+1}+8\times 2x^{2+2}-8\times 3 x^2 [/tex]

[tex]= 40x^3+16x^4-24x^2 [/tex]

Rearranging the above expression in descending order of power we get:

[tex] 16x^4+40x^3-24x^2 [/tex]

From the given options we can see this is the second option. Hence the second option is the correct answer.
