Question

(3x^2 + 2x - 3)(x - 1)

Answer 1

Multiply every term together. Do you know how?

Answer 2

no im stuck

Answer 3

Okay, I'll walk you through it. Take the first term and separate it from the other two terms in that trinomial. So you have this:
(3x^2)(x - 1)

Now distribute 3x^2 to x and -1.

Answer 4

is it 3x^2+3x-4?

Answer 5

Not quite, you want 3x^3 - 3x^2.

Answer 6

uggh...

Answer 7

So you have the next term. 2x. So...
2x(x - 1)

Answer 8

what about this 2x^2-2x

Answer 9

Yup :D

Answer 10

3x^3 - 3x^2 + 2x^2-2x

Now the third term must be distributed and added.

Answer 11

3x^3+x^2-2x

Answer 12

3x^3 - 3x^2 + 2x^2 - 2x
Stay at that before you simplify. You still have to do:

3(x - 1)

Answer 13

3x^3-5x-3

Answer 14

3x^3 - 3x^2 + 2x^2 - 2x + 3x - 3
3x^3 - x^2 + x - 3
