Question

What is a simpler form of (2x²-3x+1)(x-3)?

Answer 1

Explanation:

(2x² - 3x + 1 )(x - 3) = (2x² - 3x + 1)*x + (2x² - 3x + 1)*(-3)

= 2x²*x - 3x*x + 1*x + 2x²*(-3) - 3x*(-3) + 1*(-3)

= 2x³ - 3x² + x - 6x² + 9x - 3

= 2x³ - 3x² - 6x² + x + 9x - 3 {Combine like terms}

= 2x³ - 9x² + 10x - 3
