Simplify the following expression.
(2x – 3)(5x⁴ – 7x³ + 6x² – 9)

10x⁵ - 29x⁴ + 33x³ - 18x² - 18x + 27

Step-by-step explanation:

All we have to do is distribute both terms of the binomial into the polynomial and combine like terms.

10x⁵ - 14x⁴ + 12x³ - 18x - 15x⁴ + 21x³ - 18x² + 27

10x⁵ - 29x⁴ + 33x³ - 18x² - 18x + 27

b.) divide by -5.

step-by-step explanation:

1.4

2.3

step-by-step explanation:

the formula for the constant of variation is

y= kx

divide each side by x

y/x =kx/x

y/x =k

we know a and y

1.   y/x = k

4/1 =4

check the other values to make sure they are the same

8/2 = 4   12/3 =4   and 16/4 =4  

the constant of variation is 4

2.   y/x = k

3/1 =3

check the other values to make sure they are the same

6/2 = 3   9/3 =3   and 12/4 =3  

the constant of variation is 3
