Math Problem Statement

verify : (9(-4)-1) (6(-4)^2 - (-4)+5)

Solution

Let's verify the given expression:

(9(4)1)(6(4)2(4)+5)(9(-4) - 1)(6(-4)^2 - (-4) + 5)

Step 1: Simplify the first part of the expression

9(4)=369(-4) = -36 361=37-36 - 1 = -37

So the first part becomes: 37-37

Step 2: Simplify the second part of the expression

(4)2=16(-4)^2 = 16 6(16)=966(16) = 96 96(4)+5=96+4+5=10596 - (-4) + 5 = 96 + 4 + 5 = 105

Step 3: Multiply the two simplified parts

(37)(105)=3885(-37)(105) = -3885

Thus, the result of the expression is: 3885-3885
