Simplify:(i) (5 – x) (6 – 5x) (2 – x)(ii) (2x2 + 3x – 5) (3x2 – 5x + 4)(iii) (3x – 2) (2x – 3) + (5x – 3) (x + 1)

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
