( a^2 - 3b) (a^2 + 2b) Simplify.?

Question

( a^2 - 3b) (a^2 + 2b) Simplify.

( ^ is the exponet)

Answer 1

( a^2 - 3b) (a^2 + 2b) =
a^2 (a^2 + 2b) - 3b (a^2 + 2b) =
a^4 + 2a^2b - 3a^2b - 6b^2 =
a^4 - a^2b - 6b^2

Answer 2

a^(4) + 2 a² b - 3 a² b - 6 b²
a^(4) - a² b - 6 b²

Answer 3

(a^-3b) (a^2+2b)
use FOIL: multiply first, outer, inner, and last in that order
= a^4 + 2a^2b - 3a^2b- 6b^2
then group like terms if necessary and begin simplifying
= a^4 - a^b - 6b^2
that's your answer in simplest form

Answer 4

(a² - 3b) (a² + 2b) =
a^4 + 2a²b -3a²b - 6b² =
a^4 -a²b - 6b² = 0

Answer 5

Expand the brackets:

(a² - 3b)(a² + 2b)
= a²(a² + 2b) - 3b(a² + 2b)
= a⁴ + 2a²b - 3a²b - 6b
= a⁴ - a²b - 6b

Answer 6

Use FOIL:

a^4 + 2a^2b - 3a^2b - 6b^2

and then combine the two middle terms:

a^4 - a^2b - 6b^2

That's it!

Answer 7

=a^4 - 3a^2b + 2a^2b - 6b^2
=a^4 - a^2b - 6b^2

Answer 8

a^4+2a^2b-3a^2b-3b^2=a^4-1a^2b-3b^2

Answer 9

.....
a^4 - a^2b - 6b^2?

Answer 10

(a^4-b)
