simplify 2a2b3(4a2 3ab2 – ab) = ? a. 8a4b3 6a3b5 2a3b4 b. 8a4b5 3a3b5 – 2a3b4 c. 8a4b5 3a3b5 2a3b4 d. 8a4b3 6a3b5 – 2a3b4

Answer 1

If you would like to simplify 2a^2b^3 * (4a^2 + 3ab^2 - ab), you can do this using the following steps:

2a^2b^3 * (4a^2 + 3ab^2 - ab) = 2a^2b^3 * 4a^2 + 2a^2b^3 * 3ab^2 - 2a^2b^3 * ab = 8a^4b^3 + 6a^3b^5 - 2a^3b^4

The correct result would be d. 8a^4b^3 + 6a^3b^5 - 2a^3b^4.
