Full solution

Q. Find the product. Simplify your answer. \newline3a2(a28)3a^2(a^2 - 8)
  1. Apply Distributive Property: Apply the distributive property to multiply 3a23a^2 by each term inside the parentheses.\newline3a2(a28)=3a2×a23a2×83a^2(a^2 - 8) = 3a^2 \times a^2 - 3a^2 \times 8
  2. Multiply 3a23a^2 by a2a^2: Multiply 3a23a^2 by a2a^2.3a2×a2=3a(2+2)=3a43a^2 \times a^2 = 3a^{(2+2)} = 3a^4
  3. Multiply 3a23a^2 by 8-8: Multiply 3a23a^2 by 8-8.3a2×8=24a23a^2 \times -8 = -24a^2
  4. Combine Results: Combine the results from Step 22 and Step 33 to get the final simplified expression.\newline3a2(a28)=3a424a23a^2(a^2 - 8) = 3a^4 - 24a^2
