Choose the correct simplification of 7x2(6x + 3x2 − 4). 21x4 − 42x3 + 28x2 42x4 + 21x3 − 3x2 21x4 + 42x3 − 28x2 42x4 − 13x3 + 11x2
7x²(6x + 3x² - 4)
7x² × 6x = 42x³
7x² × 3x² = 21x⁴
7x² × -4 = -28x²
42x³ + 21x⁴ - 28x² is the correct answer.
Answer:
Option (3) is correct.
\(7x^2(6x+3x^2-4)=21x^4+42x^3-28x^2\)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: expression \(7x^2(6x+3x^2-4)\)
We have to write the correct simplification of the given expression \(7x^2(6x+3x^2-4)\)
Consider the given expression \(7x^2(6x+3x^2-4)\)
Multiply \(7x^2\) with each term in brackets \((6x+3x^2-4)\)
we get,
\(=7x^2\cdot \:6x+7x^2\cdot \:3x^2+7x^2\left(-4\right)\)
Apply exponent rule, \(a^b\cdot \:a^c=a^{b+c}\) and Simplify by multiply, we get,
\(=42x^3+21x^4-28x^2\)
Thus, Rearranging in standard form, we get,
\(=21x^4+42x^3-28x^2\)
Thus, Option (3) is correct.
