Caitlin Vega · Answer 1

Use the distributive property to multiply y by - 6y^3 and - 8. This gives you - 6y^4 - 8y + y^4. Add the like terms and you get - 5y^4 - 8y.

Therefore, the simplest form of this expression is - 5y^4 - 8y.

First, do the multiplication indicated:

-6y^4 - 8y + y^4

Next, combine the y^4 terms: - 5y^4 - 8y
