Question 919229
Expand out the polynomial, combine like terms and simplify as much as possible.


{{{(x^2+2x-1)(3x-2)}}}


{{{(3x-2)(x^2+2x-1)}}}


{{{3x(x^2+2x-1)-2(x^2+2x-1)}}}


{{{3x^3+6x^2-3x-2x^2-4x+2}}}


{{{3x^3+4x^2-7x+2}}}


So the coefficient of the {{{x^2}}} term is <font size=5 color="red">4</font>


Let me know if you need more help or if you need me to explain a step in more detail.
