Exercise #1

x×y−3x×x+2y×y−6x2= x\times y-3x\times x+2y\times y-6x^2=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Identify like terms.
  • Step 2: Simplify the expression by combining like terms.

Let's simplify the given expression:
The expression is given as x×y−3x×x+2y×y−6x2 x \times y - 3x \times x + 2y \times y - 6x^2 .

First, simplify each term:
- x×y x \times y remains xy xy .
- 3x×x 3x \times x simplifies to 3x2 3x^2 .
- So, the expression becomes xy−3x2+2y2−6x2 xy - 3x^2 + 2y^2 - 6x^2 .

Next, combine like terms:
- Combine the x2 x^2 terms: −3x2−6x2=−9x2 -3x^2 - 6x^2 = -9x^2 .
- The xy xy term and 2y2 2y^2 term are unique and remain as they are.

This results in the simplified expression: xy−9x2+2y2 xy - 9x^2 + 2y^2 .

Upon comparing this simplification with the answer choices, the correct option is:

xy−9x2+2y2 xy - 9x^2 + 2y^2

Therefore, the solution to the problem is xy−9x2+2y2 xy - 9x^2 + 2y^2 .

Answer

xy−9x2+2y2 xy-9x^2+2y^2

Exercise #2

6x×3y+4x×x−5y×2y+2x(−9y)= 6x\times3y+4x\times x-5y\times2y+2x(-9y)=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we need to simplify the algebraic expression by performing the multiplications and then combining like terms.

Given expression:
6x×3y+4x×x−5y×2y+2x(−9y)6x \times 3y + 4x \times x - 5y \times 2y + 2x(-9y)

Step 1: Simplify each term by performing the multiplications

  • First term: 6x×3y=(6×3)(x×y)=18xy6x \times 3y = (6 \times 3)(x \times y) = 18xy
  • Second term: 4x×x=4x24x \times x = 4x^2
  • Third term: 5y×2y=(5×2)(y×y)=10y25y \times 2y = (5 \times 2)(y \times y) = 10y^2
  • Fourth term: 2x(−9y)=(2×−9)(x×y)=−18xy2x(-9y) = (2 \times -9)(x \times y) = -18xy

Step 2: Rewrite the expression with simplified terms
18xy+4x2−10y2+(−18xy)18xy + 4x^2 - 10y^2 + (-18xy)
which becomes:
18xy+4x2−10y2−18xy18xy + 4x^2 - 10y^2 - 18xy

Step 3: Identify and combine like terms
Like terms are terms that have the same variable parts raised to the same powers.

  • Terms with xyxy: 18xy−18xy=018xy - 18xy = 0
  • Terms with x2x^2: 4x24x^2
  • Terms with y2y^2: −10y2-10y^2

Step 4: Write the final simplified expression
After combining like terms, we get:
4x2−10y24x^2 - 10y^2

Therefore, the simplified expression is 4x2−10y24x^2 - 10y^2, which corresponds to choice 4.

Answer

4x2−10y2 4x^2-10y^2

Exercise #3

Simplifica la expresión:

2x3⋅x2−3x⋅x4+6x⋅x2−7x3⋅5= 2x^3\cdot x^2-3x\cdot x^4+6x\cdot x^2-7x^3\cdot 5=

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

We'll use the law of exponents for multiplication between terms with identical bases:

am⋅an=am+n a^m\cdot a^n=a^{m+n}

We'll apply this law to the expression in the problem:

2x3⋅x2−3x⋅x4+6x⋅x2−7x3⋅5=2x3+2−3x1+4+6x1+2−35x3 2x^3\cdot x^2-3x\cdot x^4+6x\cdot x^2-7x^3\cdot 5=2x^{3+2}-3x^{1+4}+6x^{1+2}-35x^3

When we apply the above law to the first three terms from the left, while remembering that any number can always be considered as that number raised to the power of 1:

a=a1 a=a^1

And in the last term we performed the numerical multiplication,

We'll continue and simplify the expression we got in the last step:

2x3+2−3x1+4+6x1+2−35x3=2x5−3x5+6x3−35x3=−x5−29x3 2x^{3+2}-3x^{1+4}+6x^{1+2}-35x^3=2x^5-3x^5+6x^3-35x^3=-x^5-29x^3

Where in the first stage we simplified the expressions in the exponents of the terms in the expression and in the second stage we combined like terms,

Therefore the correct answer is answer A.

Answer

−x5−29x3 -x^5-29x^3
