Simplify:(i) x2 (x – y) y2 (x + 2y)(ii) (x3 – 2x2 + 5x – 7) (2x – 3)(iii) (5x + 3) (x – 1) (3x – 2)

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
