2x • 2xy • - x to the second power

4x⁴y

Step-by-step explanation:

Square the - x

2x·2xy· (-x) ² = 2x·2xy·x²

Use the commutative property of multiplication to rearrange the order

2x·2xy·x² = 2·2·x·x·x²·y

Use the associative property of multiplication to combine like terms

2·2·x·x·x²·y = (2·2) · (x·x·x²) ·y

Simplify

(2·2) · (x·x·x²) ·y = 4x⁴y
