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
- \(-3a^3 - 6a^2b + 15ab\)
- \(5y^4 - 10y^3 - 40y\)
- \(0.6m^2n^3 - 1.2m^3n^2 + 0.9m^2n^2\)
