Question

find the product. simplify your answer.\\(2p^2(4p^2 + 3p)\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Distribute $2p^2$ to first term

$2p^2 \times 4p^2 = 8p^{2+2} = 8p^4$

Step2: Distribute $2p^2$ to second term

$2p^2 \times 3p = 6p^{2+1} = 6p^3$

Step3: Combine the two results

$8p^4 + 6p^3$

Answer:

$8p^4 + 6p^3$
