find the product and simplify: (5x-2)(x^2-3x+4)
Use the distributive law to get:
= 5x(x^2-3x+4)-2(x^2-3x+4)
= 5x^3-15x^2+20x-2x^2+6x-8
= 5x^3-17x^2+26x-8

the product:
%285x-2%29%28x%5E2-3x%2B4%29+
= 5x%2Ax%5E2 – 5x%2A3x++ 5x%2A4 -2%2Ax%5E2 – 2%28-3x%29 -2%2A4
= 5x%5E3–15x%5E2+20x - 2%2Ax%5E2 + 6x – 8
= 5x%5E3 – 17x%5E2 + 26x – 8........cannot be simplified
