Question

The * means multiplication. how would i solve this and what is the answer?

Answer 1

3x⁴ − 17x³ + 19x² − 19x + 6

Explanation:

(x² − 5x + 2) (3x² − 2x + 3)

Distribute:

3x² (x² − 5x + 2) − 2x (x² − 5x + 2) + 3 (x² − 5x + 2)

Distribute again:

3x⁴ − 15x³ + 6x² − 2x³ + 10x² − 4x + 3x² − 15x + 6

Combine like terms:

3x⁴ − 17x³ + 19x² − 19x + 6
