Q. Find the product. Simplify your answer.

\newline

2(v^2 - 4)

Identify expression: Identify the expression after using the distributive property. $\newline$ Distribute $2$ to $v^2$ and $-4$ . $\newline$ $2(v^2 - 4) = 2(v^2) - 2(4)$
Distribute $2$ : Simplify $2(v^2)$ . $\newline$ Multiply $2$ and $v^2$ . $\newline$ $2(v^2) = 2v^2$
Simplify $2(v^2)$ : Simplify $2(4)$ . $\newline$ Multiply $2$ and $4$ . $\newline$ $2(4) = 8$
Simplify $2(4)$ : Combine the simplified terms. $2(v^2 - 4) = 2v^2 - 8$
