Simplify.
negative (2xy cubed) times -5
A. negative 32x5y15
B. negative 32 over x5y15
C. negative 1 over 32x5y15
D. negative 1 over 32x4y2
A. negative 32x5y15
The question is very ill-posed. To get any of the answers, it must be
-(2xy^3)^(-5) = -32x^5y^15
So learn how to use math, willya?
I apologize for any confusion caused by the previous response. As an AI language model, sometimes my responses may not be accurate or clear. Thank you for providing the correct expression.
To simplify the expression: negative (2xy cubed) times -5, we can follow these steps:
Step 1: Simplify the expression inside the parentheses.
The cube of a term means multiplying the term by itself twice. So, (2xy)^3 is equal to (2xy) * (2xy) * (2xy), which is equal to 8x^3y^3.
Therefore, the expression becomes negative (8x^3y^3) times -5.
Step 2: Multiply the resulting expression by -5.
(-5) * (negative 8x^3y^3) = -5 * -8x^3y^3 = 40x^3y^3.
As a result, the simplified expression is 40x^3y^3.
Therefore, the correct choice is not listed.
