a) (x2 – x) . (2x2 – x – 10)
= x2 . (2x2 – x – 10) – x. (2x2 – x – 10)
= x2 . 2x2 + x2 . (-x) + x2 .(-10) – [ x. 2x2 + x. (-x) + x. (-10)]
= 2x4 – x3 - 10x2 – (2x3 – x2 – 10x)
= 2x4 – x3 - 10x2 – 2x3 + x2 + 10x
= 2x4 + (– x3 – 2x3 ) + (-10x2 + x2 )+ 10x
= 2x4 – 3x3 - 9x2 + 10x
b) (0,2x2 – 3x) . 5(x2 -7x + 3)
= (0,2x2 . 5 – 3x . 5) . (x2 -7x + 3)
= (x2 – 15x). (x2 -7x + 3)
= x2 . (x2 -7x + 3) – 15x. (x2 -7x + 3)
= x2 . x2 + x2 . (-7x) + x2 . 3 – [ 15x3 + 15x.(-7x) + 15x.3]
= x4 – 7x3 + 3x2 – (15x3 – 105x2 + 45x)
= x4 – 7x3 + 3x2 – 15x3 + 105x2 – 45x
= x4 +(– 7x3 – 15x3 )+ (3x2 + 105x2) – 45x
= x4 – 22x3 + 108x2 – 45x
