Let's break down and simplify each expression step by step.
1) (-3a(a² + 2ab - 5b))
To simplify this expression, distribute (-3a) across each term in the parentheses:
[
-3a(a²) + (-3a)(2ab) + (-3a)(-5b)
]
Calculating each term:
- (-3a(a²) = -3a^3)
- (-3a(2ab) = -6a^2b)
- (-3a(-5b) = 15ab)
Putting it all together, we get:
[
-3a^3 - 6a^2b + 15ab
]
So, the simplified expression is:
[
-3a^3 - 6a^2b + 15ab
]
2) ((4y² - 2y³ + 16)(-2.5y))
Now, we will distribute (-2.5y) across each term in the polynomial:
[
-2.5y(4y^2) + (-2.5y)(-2y^3) + (-2.5y)(16)
]
Calculating each term:
- (-2.5y(4y^2) = -10y^3)
- (-2.5y(-2y^3) = 5y^4)
- (-2.5y(16) = -40y)
Now, combining these results, we have:
[
5y^4 - 10y^3 - 40y
]
So, the simplified expression is:
[
5y^4 - 10y^3 - 40y
]
3) (0.3mn(2mn^2 - 4m^2n + 3mn))
Again, we'll distribute (0.3mn) across each term:
[
0.3mn(2mn^2) + 0.3mn(-4m^2n) + 0.3mn(3mn)
]
Calculating each term:
- (0.3mn(2mn^2) = 0.6m^2n^3)
- (0.3mn(-4m^2n) = -1.2m^3n^2)
- (0.3mn(3mn) = 0.9m^2n^2)
Putting it all together, we have:
[
0.6m^2n^3 - 1.2m^3n^2 + 0.9m^2n^2
]
You can combine the like terms (-1.2m^3n^2 + 0.9m^2n^2) if needed, but they are not like terms so the expression remains:
Thus, the simplified expression is:
[
0.6m^2n^3 - 1.2m^3n^2 + 0.9m^2n^2
]
Summary of Simplified Expressions
- (-3a^3 - 6a^2b + 15ab)
- (5y^4 - 10y^3 - 40y)
- (0.6m^2n^3 - 1.2m^3n^2 + 0.9m^2n^2)
