Question

Place the steps used to simplify the following problem in order.

(2x−4y3)2(3x6y2)
Step 1: Response area

Step 2: Response area

Step 3: Response area​​​​​​​

Answer 1

Step 1: Simplify the exponents inside the parentheses: (2x−4y^3)^2 = 4x^2 - 16x*y^6

Step 2: Simplify the exponents outside the parentheses: (4x^2 - 16x*y^6)(3x^6*y^2) = 12x^8*y^2 - 48x^2*y^8

Step 3: Simplification is complete.
