Multiply and collect like terms: (p−q)(6p−2q).

Assuming you mean "expand":

(p-q) (6p-2q).

Multiply "p" and "q" by everything in the second set of parentheses:

(p-q) (6p-2q):

= 6p^2 - 2qp - 6pq + 2q^2

Subtract:

6p^2 - 8qp + 2q^2

b. 6

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the table representing an exponential function.

we can see from the table that, as x is increasing, the value of y is increasing in the power of 6.

i.e. the following relation is obtained,

x = 1, y = 6

x = 2, y = 36 =

x = 3, y = 216 =

x = 4, y = 1296 =

x = 5, y = 7776 =

so, the geometric series obtained is .

thus, the common ratio is given by = = 6.

hence, the common ratio is 6.
