Question

What is the product?

(x − 3)(2x2 − 5x + 1)

Answer 1

`2x^3-11x^2+16x-3`

Explanation:

Given expression,

`(x - 3)(2x^2 - 5x + 1)`

By distributive property,

`x(2x^2-5x+1) - 3(2x^2-5x+1)`

Again by distributive property,

`2x^3-5x^2+x-6x^2+15x-3`

Combining like terms,

`2x^3-11x^2+16x-3`

Which is required product.
