Full solution

Q. Fully simplify.\newline4y2(2x4y5) 4 y^{2}\left(-2 x^{4} y^{5}\right) \newlineAnswer:
  1. Distribute Constant and Multiply: Distribute the constant outside the parentheses across the terms inside the parentheses.\newlineWe have 4y24y^2 multiplied by each term inside the parentheses (2x4y5)(-2x^4y^5).\newlineCalculation: 4y2×2x4y54y^2 \times -2x^4y^5
  2. Multiply Constants and Like Terms: Multiply the constants and the like terms.\newlineWe multiply the constants 44 and 2-2 to get 8-8.\newlineWe multiply the like terms y2y^2 and y5y^5 by adding their exponents to get y(2+5)y^{(2+5)} or y7y^7.\newlineWe leave x4x^4 as it is because there are no other xx terms to combine it with.\newlineCalculation: 8×x4×y7-8 \times x^4 \times y^7
  3. Write Simplified Expression: Write down the simplified expression.\newlineThe final simplified expression is 8x4y7-8x^4y^7.
