(3x + 5)(2x^3 - 4x^2 + x - 1) is the problem
Here's what I've been doing
(3x + 5)(2x^3 - 4x^2 + x - 1)
3x * x (like terms) = 3x^2
5* -1 = -5
2x^3 + 3x^2 - 4x^2 - 5
2x*3 -x^2 - 5
Is that right? :/

you're not adding here,
you're multiplying them
OpenStudy (lifeisadangerousgame):
ohh, so I need to multiply each one?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Okay is this right?
6x^4 - 2x^3 - 15x^2 - 5
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
hmm no
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
(3x + 5)(2x^3 - 4x^2 + x - 1)
3x(2x^3 - 4x^2 + x - 1) + 5(2x^3 - 4x^2 + x - 1)
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
(3x + 5)(2x^3 - 4x^2 + x - 1)
3x(2x^3 - 4x^2 + x - 1) + 5(2x^3 - 4x^2 + x - 1)
6x^4 -12x^3 + 3x^2 - 3x + 10x^3-20x^2+5x-5
6x^4 - 2x^3 - 17x^2 + 2x - 5
