Divide the following polynomials, Write answer in descending powers of y. (2y to the third power + 3y squared - 4y - 5) (y + 1)
Accepted Solution
A:
The first stwp for solving this expression is to multiply each term in the first parenthesis by each term in the second parenthesis (FOIL method). 2y³ × y + 2y³ + 3y² × y + 3y² - 4y × y - 4y - 5y - 5 Calculate the product of the first two numbers. 2[tex] y^{4} [/tex] + 2y³ + 3y² × y + 3y² - 4y × y - 4y - 5y - 5 Calculate the product of the second multiplication expression. (2y² × y) 2[tex] y^{4} [/tex] + 2y³ + 3y³ + 3y² - 4y × y - 4y - 5y - 5 Calculate the product of the final multiplication expression. (-4y × y) 2[tex] y^{4} [/tex] + 2y³ + 3y³ + 3y² -4y² - 4y - 5y - 5 Collect the like terms that contain y³. 2[tex] y^{4} [/tex] + 5y³ + 3y² -4y² - 4y - 5y - 5 Collect the like term that contain y². 2[tex] y^{4} [/tex] + 5y³ + -y² - 4y - 5y - 5 Lastly,, collect the like terms that have y. 2[tex] y^{4} [/tex] + 5y³ + -y² - 9y - 5 Since we cannot simplify this expression down any further,, the correct answer to your question is going to be 2[tex] y^{4} [/tex] + 5y³ + -y² - 9y - 5. Let me know if you have any further questions. :)
