<PRE><B>Question 44505</B>
&lt;pre&gt;&lt;font size = 6&gt;&lt;b&gt;
-9x&lt;sup&gt;4&lt;/sup&gt;(5x&lt;sup&gt;6&lt;/sup&gt; + 11&lt;sup&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;x&lt;sup&gt;5&lt;/sup&gt;)

Multiply the -9 by the 5 getting -45

So far you have: -45

Multiply the x&lt;sup&gt;4&lt;/sup&gt; by the x&lt;sup&gt;6&lt;/sup&gt; by adding 
the exponents and getting x&lt;sup&gt;10&lt;/sup&gt;

Now so far you have -45x&lt;sup&gt;10&lt;/sup&gt;

Multiply the -9 by the +11 getting -99

Now so far you have -45x&lt;sup&gt;10&lt;/sup&gt; - 99

Multiply the x&lt;sup&gt;4&lt;/sup&gt; by the x&lt;sup&gt;5&lt;/sup&gt; by 
adding the exponents and getting x&lt;sup&gt;9&lt;/sup&gt;

Now so far you have -45x&lt;sup&gt;10&lt;/sup&gt; - 99x&lt;sup&gt;9&lt;/sup&gt;

and that&#39;s the final answer.
