2x5+8x4−16x3+16x2−18x+10
Explanation:
Expand the 2 'pairs' of brackets
ie
(2x2+2)(x+5)and(x−1)(x−1) using the FOIL method on each pair to obtain :
(2x3+10x2+2x+10)(x2−x−x+1)
=(2x3+10x2+2x+10)(x2−2x+1) Now each term in the 2nd bracket must be multiplied by each
term in the 1st.ie
2x3(x2−2x+1)+10x2(x2−2x+1)+2x(x2−2x+1)
+10(x2−2x+1)
=2x5−2x4+2x3+10x4−20x3+10x2+2x3−4x2
+2x+10x2−20x+10 now collect 'like terms'
=2x5+8x4−16x3+16x2−18x+10
