Find each of the following products:(x3 – 5x2 + 3x + 1) × (x2 – 3)

Answer»

By using horizontal method, 

We have; 

= (x3 – 5x2 + 3x + 1) × (x2 – 3) 

= x2(x3 – 5x2 + 3x + 1) – 3(x3 – 5x2 + 3x +1) 

= x5 – 5x4 + 3x3 + x2 – 3x3 + 15x2 – 9x – 3 

By arranging the expression in the form of descending powers of x, 

We get; 

= x5 – 5x4 + 3x3 – 3x3 + x2 + 15x2 – 9x – 3 

= x5 – 5x4 +16x2 – 9x – 3
