Question

Simplify. ( 5 ℎ 3 − 8 ℎ ) + ( − 2 ℎ 3 − ℎ 2 − 2 ℎ ) (5h 3 −8h)+(−2h 3 −h 2 −2h)

Answer 1

(5h^3 - 8h) + (-2h^3 - h^2 - 2h)

First, let's add the like terms within each set of parentheses:

5h^3 + (-2h^3) = 3h^3

(-8h) + (-2h) = -10h

Now, we have simplified the expression within the parentheses:

3h^3 - 10h

So, the simplified expression is:

3h^3 - 10h
