Use distribution
–4x^5(–3x^5 + 2x^2 – 4)
%28-4x%5E5%29%28-3x%5E5%29+%2B+%28-4x%5E5%29%282x%5E2%29+-+%28-4x%5E5%29%284%29
12x%5E10+-+8x%5E7+%2B+16x%5E5

-4x%5E5%28-3x%5E5%2B2x%5E2-4%29 Start with the given expression.


-4x%5E5%28-3x%5E5%29-4x%5E5%282x%5E2%29-4x%5E5%28-4%29 Distribute


12x%5E%2810%29-8x%5E7%2B16x%5E5 Multiply. Note: when you multiply common variables, you add the exponents.


So -4x%5E5%28-3x%5E5%2B2x%5E2-4%29=12x%5E%2810%29-8x%5E7%2B16x%5E5
