Q. −y2(6x−y)Which of the following is equivalent to the given expression?Choose 1 answer:(A) −6x3+x2y(B) −6x2y+y3(C) −6xy2+y3(D) 6xy2−y3
Distribute −y2: We need to distribute the term −y2 across the terms inside the parentheses (6x−y). This is done by multiplying −y2 with each term inside the parentheses separately.Calculation: −y2×6x+y2×y
Multiply with 6x: Multiplying −y2 by 6x gives us −6xy2. This is a straightforward multiplication of a constant with a variable term.Calculation: −y2×6x=−6xy2
Multiply with −y: Multiplying y2 by −y gives us −y3. This is a multiplication of a variable term with itself, which results in raising the power by 1.Calculation: y2×−y=−y3
Combine results: Combining the results from the previous steps, we get the final expression: −6xy2−y3.Calculation: −6xy2+(−y3)=−6xy2−y3
