Answer» (i) x2 (x – y) y2 (x + 2y) = x2 (x – y) y2 (x + 2y) = x2y2 (x2 + 2xy – xy – 2y2) = x2y2 (x2 + xy – 2y2) = x4y2 + x3y3 – 2x2y4 (ii) (x3 – 2x2 + 5x – 7) (2x – 3) = (x3 – 2x2 + 5x – 7) (2x – 3) = 2x4 – 4x3 + 10x2 – 14x – 3x3 + 6x2 – 15x + 21 = 2x4 – 7x3 + 16x2 – 29x + 21 (iii) (5x + 3) (x – 1) (3x – 2) = (5x + 3) (x – 1) (3x – 2) = (5x2 – 2x – 3) (3x – 2) = 15x3 – 6x2 – 9x – 10x2 + 4x + 6 = 15x3 – 16x2 – 5x + 6 |
