This?

Answer 4

and b is the product of 1/2x - 1/4 and 5x^2 - 2x equal to the product of 1/4x - 1/2 and 5x^2 - 2x + 6 and yes thats it

Answer 5

For a,
\[\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }x \times (5x^2 -2x + 6)\]
Multiply 1/2x to each term
\[-\frac{ 1 }{ 4 } \times (5x^2 -2x + 6)\]
Multiply -1/4 to each term

Then add up both of the results. The sum of each.
