Solution

1. Break Down the Problem

We need to simplify the expression 8x(2x2+x7)8x(2x^2 + x - 7). This involves distributing 8x8x across each term inside the parentheses.

2. Relevant Concepts

We will be using the distributive property, which states that a(b+c)=ab+aca(b + c) = ab + ac. Here, a=8xa = 8x and b+c=2x2+x7b + c = 2x^2 + x - 7.

3. Analysis and Detail

Let's distribute 8x8x:

  • First term: 8x2x2=16x38x \cdot 2x^2 = 16x^3
  • Second term: 8xx=8x28x \cdot x = 8x^2
  • Third term: 8x(7)=56x8x \cdot (-7) = -56x

Now, we can combine the results: 8x(2x2+x7)=16x3+8x256x 8x(2x^2 + x - 7) = 16x^3 + 8x^2 - 56x

4. Verify and Summarize

We have distributed 8x8x correctly across all the terms. The final expression is simplified and presented in standard polynomial form.

Final Answer

The simplified polynomial expression is: 16x3+8x256x 16x^3 + 8x^2 - 56x

This problem has been solved
