To simplify the expression 4k²(-3k² - 4k + 5), we need to distribute the 4k² to each term inside the parentheses.
So, we have:
4k²(-3k²) + 4k²(-4k) + 4k²(5)
Simplifying each term:
(-12k^4) + (-16k³) + (20k²)
Combining like terms:
-12k^4 - 16k³ + 20k²
So, the simplified expression is option B) -12k^4 - 16k³ + 20k².
