\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x%5E2+%2B+3x+-+1%29%28x%5E2+-+x+%2B+2%29\"$ Start with the given expression.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E2+%28x%5E2+-+x+%2B+2%29%2B+3x+%28x%5E2+-+x+%2B+2%29-+1%28x%5E2+-+x+%2B+2%29\"$ Expand.\r

Distribute.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E4-x%5E3%2B2%2Ax%5E2%2B3%2Ax%5E3-3%2Ax%5E2%2B6%2Ax-x%5E2%2Bx-2\"$ Multiply.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E4%2B2%2Ax%5E3-2%2Ax%5E2%2B7%2Ax-2\"$ Now combine like terms.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " So $\"%28x%5E2+%2B+3x+-+1%29%28x%5E2+-+x+%2B+2%29\"$ expands to $\"x%5E4%2B2%2Ax%5E3-2%2Ax%5E2%2B7%2Ax-2\"$ . In other words, $\"%28x%5E2+%2B+3x+-+1%29%28x%5E2+-+x+%2B+2%29=x%5E4%2B2%2Ax%5E3-2%2Ax%5E2%2B7%2Ax-2\"$ .\r
