OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can multiply this one? ( x²-3x+2 ) * x = ...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x^2-(3x)^2+2x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x^2 * x = .... ? 3x * x = ....?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you try again?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x3 and 3x^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes :) Can you put them together now : ( x²-3x+2 ) * x = ...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x^3-3x^2+2x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Great =) Now can you multiply with the constant: ( x²-3x+2 ) * ( -4) = .....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now again, put YOUR work together =) ( x^3-3x^2+2x ) + ( -4x^2+12x-8 )
