%283t-4%29%28t%5E2-5t%2B1%29 Start with the given expression.


3t%28t%5E2-5t%2B1%29-4%28t%5E2-5t%2B1%29 Expand.


Distribute.


3%2At%5E3-15%2At%5E2%2B3%2At-4%2At%5E2%2B20%2At-4 Multiply.


3%2At%5E3-19%2At%5E2%2B23%2At-4 Now combine like terms.


So %283t-4%29%28t%5E2-5t%2B1%29 expands to 3%2At%5E3-19%2At%5E2%2B23%2At-4.


In other words, %283t-4%29%28t%5E2-5t%2B1%29=3%2At%5E3-19%2At%5E2%2B23%2At-4.
