Example Questions

Example Question #641 : Concepts

Simplify:

\displaystyle -8 (-2y^{2}+ 7y - 9)

Possible Answers:

\displaystyle 16y^{2} -56y+72

\displaystyle 16y^{2} +7y-9

\displaystyle 16y^{2} -7y+9

\displaystyle 16y^{2} -56y-72

Correct answer:

\displaystyle 16y^{2} -56y+72

Explanation:

\displaystyle -8 (-2y^{2}+ 7y - 9)

\displaystyle = -8\cdot (-2y^{2} ) +\left ( -8 \right ) \cdot 7y -\left ( - 8\right ) \cdot 9

\displaystyle = 16y^{2} -56y+72

Example Question #3 : How To Multiply Variables

Multiply:

\displaystyle -4x(x+3)

Possible Answers:

\displaystyle 4x^2+12x

\displaystyle -4x^2-12x

\displaystyle 4x^2-12x

\displaystyle -4x^2+12x

Correct answer:

\displaystyle -4x^2-12x

Explanation:

\displaystyle -4x(x+3)=(-4x)(x)+(-4x)3=-4x^2+(-12x)

\displaystyle =-4x^2-12x
