To use the distributive property, we need to multiply each term inside the parentheses by the term outside the parentheses.
So, we have:
x(2x+4x^4-5-3x)
= (x * 2x) + (x * 4x^4) + (x * -5) + (x * -3x)
= 2x^2 + 4x^5 - 5x - 3x^2
Now, we can combine like terms to write the expression in standard form:
= 4x^5 - x^2 - 5x
for the expression x(2x+4x^4-5-3x) use the distributive property to write an equivalent expression in standard form
