Multiply. Write your answer in simplest form. 3p^3 - p^2/5p + 1 * 4p + 5/2 ______

Question

Bytelearn · Accepted Answer

Identify Expressions: Identify the expressions to be multiplied. We have two fractions to multiply: (3p^3 - p^2)/(5p + 1) and (4p + 5)/2.Multiply Numerators and Denominators: Multiply the numerators and the denominators of the fractions. To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. (3p^3 - p^2) * (4p + 5) is the numerator, and (5p + 1) * 2 is the denominator.Perform Numerator Multiplication: Perform the multiplication of the numerators. We distribute (3p^3 - p^2) across (4p + 5). (3p^3 - p^2) * (4p + 5) = 3p^3 * 4p + 3p^3 * 5 - p^2 * 4p - p^2 * 5 = 12p^4 + 15p^3 - 4p^3 - 5p^2 = 12p^4 + 11p^3 - 5p^2Perform Denominator Multiplication: Perform the multiplication of the denominators. We multiply (5p + 1) by 2. (5p + 1) * 2 = 10p + 2Combine Results: Combine the results to form the new fraction. The new fraction is (12p^4 + 11p^3 - 5p^2) over (10p + 2).Simplify Fraction: Simplify the fraction if possible. We look for common factors in the numerator and the denominator. In this case, there are no common factors, so the fraction is already in its simplest form.
