Answer» (i) (5 – x) (6 – 5x) (2 – x) = (5 – x) (6 – 5x) (2 – x) = (x2 – 7x + 10) (6 – 5x) = -5x3 + 35x2 – 50x + 6x2 – 42x + 60 = 60 – 92x + 41x2 – 5x3 (ii) (2x2 + 3x – 5) (3x2 – 5x + 4) = (2x2 + 3x – 5) (3x2 – 5x + 4) = 6x4 + 9x3 – 15x2 – 10x3 – 15x2 + 25x + 8x2 + 12x – 20 = 6x4 – x3 – 22x2 + 37x – 20 (iii) (3x – 2) (2x – 3) + (5x – 3) (x + 1) = (3x – 2) (2x – 3) + (5x – 3) (x + 1) = 6x2 – 9x – 4x + 6 + 5x2 + 5x – 3x – 3 = 11x2 – 11x + 3 |
