Let's simplify the expression \((4g−3)(2g^4)\) and evaluate which options are equivalent.
-
Distribute the terms: \[ (4g - 3)(2g^4) = 4g \cdot 2g^4 - 3 \cdot 2g^4 \]
-
Calculate each part: \[ 4g \cdot 2g^4 = 8g^{1+4} = 8g^5 \] \[ -3 \cdot 2g^4 = -6g^4 \]
-
Combine the terms: The expression can be represented as: \[ 8g^5 - 6g^4 \]
Now let's compare this with the provided responses:
- 8g - No, this does not match.
- 8 g - No, this does not match.
- \(4 \times g \times g \times g \times 2 \times g \times g \times g \times g\) - No, this is equal to \(8g^5\), not \(8g^5 - 6g^4\).
- \(4 \times 2 \times g \times g \times g \times gg \times g \times g\) - This simplifies to \(8g^5\) as well, not a match.
- \(4 \times 2 \times g \times g \times g \times gg \times g \times g\) - This is again \(8g^5\), not equivalent to \(8g^5 - 6g^4\).
- 8g7 - If this means \(8g^7\), it's not equivalent either since our expression contains \(8g^5\) and \(-6g^4\).
None of the provided options are equivalent to the expression \((4g−3)(2g^4)\), which simplifies to \(8g^5 - 6g^4\).
