Question

How do you write `2x^4(4x^2 + 3x + 1)` in standard form?

Answer 1

See a solution process below:

Explanation:

Multiply each term within the parenthesis by the term outside the parenthesis:

`color(red)(2x^4)(4x^2 + 3x + 1) =>`

`(color(red)(2x^4) xx 4x^2) + (color(red)(2x^4) xx 3x) + (color(red)(2x^4) xx 1) =>`

`8x^6 + 6x^5 + 2x^4`
