Determine the product: 4x^3y(6xy + 1)

Question

A) 24x^4y +4x^3y

B) 24x^4y + 1

C) 24x^4y^2 + 4x^3y

D) 24x^4y^2 + 1

Answer 1

Apply the distributive law: a(b+c) = ab + ac.

In your case a = 4x³y, b = 6xy, and c = 1. Once you've applied the distributive law, simplify the exponents where you can.
