How do you multiply #(2x - 3)(x^2 + 5^x - 3)#? Algebra Polynomials and Factoring Multiplication of Polynomials by Binomials 1 Answer Alan P. Sep 15, 2015 #2x^3-3x^2+(2x-3)5^x-6x+9# #color(white)("XXXX")#(although one has to wonder if #5^x# wasn't meant to be #5x#) Explanation: #(color(red)(2x)-color(blue)(3))(x^2+5^x-3)# #=color(red)(2x)(x^2+5^x-3) -color(blue)(3)(x^2+5^x-3)# #=(color(red)(2x^3+2x*5^x-6x)) - (color(blue)(3x^2+3*5^x-9))# #=2x^3-3x^2+(2x-3)5^x-6x+9# Answer link Related questions What is FOIL?
