Answer 1

any idea?

Answer 2

x^2[4(x-2)^3*(1)]+(x-2)^4*(2x)

to simplify, you gotta follow PEMDAS
So: x^2[4(x-2)(x-2)(x-2)*1]+(x-2)^4*2x
x^2{4(x^2-4x+4)(x-2)*1]+(x-2)^4*2x
x^2[4(x^3-4x^2+4x-2x^2+8x-8)*1]+(x-2)^4*2x
x^2[4(x^3-6x^2+12x-8)*1]+(x-2)^4*2x
x^2(4x^3-24x^2+48x-32)+(x-2)^4*2x
x^2(4x^3-24x^2+48x-32)+(x-2)(x-2)(x-2)(x-2)*2x
4x^5-24x^4+48x^3-32x^2+(x^2-4x+4)(x^2-4x+4)*2x
4x^5-24x^4+48x^3-32x^2+(x^4-4x^3+4x^2-4x^3+16x^2-16x+4x^2-16x+16)*2x
4x^5-24x^4+48x^3-32x^2+(x^4-8x^3+24x^2-32x+16)*2x
4x^5-24x^4+48x^3-32x^2+2x^5-16x^4+48x^3-64x^2+32x
6x^5-40x^4+96x^2-96x^2+32x

Answer 3

assuming my math is all correct, that is the right answer. I would suggest you double check the math to be doubly sure
