Let's go through these problems step by step.

Multiplication of Algebraic Expressions

Part a· 3 steps

(5a2)(4a2)(5a^2)(4a^2)

  1. Multiply the numerical coefficients.

    5×4=205 \times 4 = 20
  2. Multiply the variable parts.

    When multiplying variables with the same base, add their exponents (e.g., am⋅an=am+na^m \cdot a^n = a^{m+n}).

    a2⋅a2=a2+2=a4a^2 \cdot a^2 = a^{2+2} = a^4
  3. Combine the results from Step 1 and Step 2.

    20a420a^4

    The final answer is 20a4\boxed{20a^4}.

Part b

−20x3y5-20x^3y^5

(−5xy2)(4x2y3)(-5xy^2)(4x^2y^3)

  1. Multiply the numerical coefficients, including their signs.

    −5×4=−20-5 \times 4 = -20
  2. Multiply the xx variables.

    Remember that xx is x1x^1.

    x1⋅x2=x1+2=x3x^1 \cdot x^2 = x^{1+2} = x^3
  3. Multiply the yy variables.

    y2⋅y3=y2+3=y5y^2 \cdot y^3 = y^{2+3} = y^5
  4. Combine the results from Step 1, Step 2, and Step 3.

    −20x3y5-20x^3y^5

    The final answer is −20x3y5\boxed{-20x^3y^5}.

Part c

6x3yz2−4x2y3z3−6x2yz46x^3yz^2 - 4x^2y^3z^3 - 6x^2yz^4

(3x−2y2z−3z2)×(2x2yz2)(3x - 2y^2z - 3z^2) \times (2x^2yz^2)

  1. Distribute the monomial 2x2yz22x^2yz^2 to each term inside the parenthesis.

    (3x)(2x2yz2)−(2y2z)(2x2yz2)−(3z2)(2x2yz2)(3x)(2x^2yz^2) - (2y^2z)(2x^2yz^2) - (3z^2)(2x^2yz^2)
  2. Multiply each pair of terms.

    For the first term:

    (3x)(2x2yz2)=(3×2)(x1⋅x2)(y)(z2)=6x1+2yz2=6x3yz2(3x)(2x^2yz^2) = (3 \times 2)(x^1 \cdot x^2)(y)(z^2) = 6x^{1+2}yz^2 = 6x^3yz^2

    For the second term:

    −(2y2z)(2x2yz2)=−(2×2)(x2)(y2⋅y1)(z1⋅z2)=−4x2y2+1z1+2=−4x2y3z3-(2y^2z)(2x^2yz^2) = -(2 \times 2)(x^2)(y^2 \cdot y^1)(z^1 \cdot z^2) = -4x^2y^{2+1}z^{1+2} = -4x^2y^3z^3

    For the third term:

    −(3z2)(2x2yz2)=−(3×2)(x2)(y)(z2⋅z2)=−6x2yz2+2=−6x2yz4-(3z^2)(2x^2yz^2) = -(3 \times 2)(x^2)(y)(z^2 \cdot z^2) = -6x^2yz^{2+2} = -6x^2yz^4
  3. Combine the results.

    6x3yz2−4x2y3z3−6x2yz46x^3yz^2 - 4x^2y^3z^3 - 6x^2yz^4

    The final answer is 6x3yz2−4x2y3z3−6x2yz4\boxed{6x^3yz^2 - 4x^2y^3z^3 - 6x^2yz^4}.

    Question One: Simplify the following

    1. 7(5a2b+7x−2a2b)7(5a^2b + 7x - 2a^2b)

  4. Simplify the terms inside the parenthesis first by combining like terms.

    The like terms are 5a2b5a^2b and −2a2b-2a^2b.

    5a2b−2a2b=(5−2)a2b=3a2b5a^2b - 2a^2b = (5-2)a^2b = 3a^2b

    So the expression inside the parenthesis becomes:

    (3a2b+7x)(3a^2b + 7x)
  5. Distribute the 7 to each term inside the simplified parenthesis.

    7(3a2b)+7(7x)7(3a^2b) + 7(7x)
  6. Perform the multiplication.

    21a2b+49x21a^2b + 49x

    The final answer is 21a2b+49x\boxed{21a^2b + 49x}.

    2. −6y(p2−3y+7−5y)-6y(p^2 - 3y + 7 - 5y)

  7. Simplify the terms inside the parenthesis first by combining like terms.

    The like terms are −3y-3y and −5y-5y.

    −3y−5y=(−3−5)y=−8y-3y - 5y = (-3-5)y = -8y

    So the expression inside the parenthesis becomes:

    (p2−8y+7)(p^2 - 8y + 7)
  8. Distribute the −6y-6y to each term inside the simplified parenthesis.

    −6y(p2)−6y(−8y)−6y(7)-6y(p^2) - 6y(-8y) - 6y(7)
  9. Perform the multiplication for each term.

    −6y(p2)=−6p2y-6y(p^2) = -6p^2y −6y(−8y)=(−6×−8)(y⋅y)=48y2-6y(-8y) = (-6 \times -8)(y \cdot y) = 48y^2 −6y(7)=−42y-6y(7) = -42y
  10. Combine the results.

    −6p2y+48y2−42y-6p^2y + 48y^2 - 42y

    The final answer is −6p2y+48y2−42y\boxed{-6p^2y + 48y^2 - 42y}.
