Sure! Let's tackle these expansions and simplifications one by one. 5.1. Expanding and simplifying: \[ 0.2xy(0.1x^2 - 0.3xy) = 0.2xy(0.1x^2) - 0.2xy(0.3xy) = 0.02x^3y - 0.06xy^2 \] Final simplified expression: \[ 0.02x^3y - 0.06xy^2 \] 5.2. Simplifying the expression: \[ 2 - \frac{y-4}{4} - \frac{1}{8}(y+1) = 2 - \frac{y}{4} + 1 - \frac{y}{8} - \frac{1}{8} = 3 - \frac{2y}{8} - \frac{y}{8} = 3 - \frac{3y}{8} = \frac{24 - 3y}{8} \] Final simplified expression: \[ \frac{24 - 3y}{8} \] 5.3. Simplifying the fraction: \[ \left(\frac{-4a^{-1}b}{-12a^{-2}b^{-3}}\right)^{2} = \left(\frac{4a^{-1}b \cdot b^{3}}{12a^{-2}}\right)^{2} = \left(\frac{4b^4}{12a^{-1}} \cdot a^{2}\right)^{2} = \left(\frac{4b^4 a^{2}}{12}\right)^{2} = \left(\frac{b^4}{3}\right)^{2} = \frac{b^8}{9} \] Final simplified expression: \[ \frac{b^8}{9} \] 5.4. Simplifying the logarithmic expression: \[ \frac{2^{x} \cdot 4^{x+2}}{8^{x+3}} = \frac{2^{x} \cdot (2^2)^{x+2}}{(2^3)^{x+3}} = \frac{2^{x} \cdot 2^{2x+4}}{2^{3x+9}} = \frac{2^{x + 2x + 4}}{2^{3x + 9}} = \frac{2^{3x + 4}}{2^{3x + 9}} = 2^{3x + 4 - (3x + 9)} = 2^{4 - 9} = 2^{-5} \] Final simplified expression: \[ \frac{1}{32} \] 5.5. Simplifying the fraction: \[ \frac{6a^{2}b - 9ab^{2}}{12a^{3}b^{2} - 18a^{2}b^{3}} = \frac{3ab(2a - 3b)}{6ab^{2}(2a - 3b)} = \frac{3}{6b} = \frac{1}{2b} \] Final simplified expression: \[ \frac{1}{2b} \] 5.6. Simplifying the expression: \[ (2p^{2} - 3)(p - 5) - (p + 3)^{2} \] First, expanding: \[ = (2p^3 - 10p^{2} - 3p + 15) - (p^{2} + 6p + 9) = 2p^{3} - 10p^{2} - 3p + 15 - p^{2} - 6p - 9 = 2p^{3} - 11p^{2} - 9p + 6 \] Final simplified expression: \[ 2p^{3} - 11p^{2} - 9p + 6 \] Feel free to ask any questions if you have!
