Question:
Simplify:
x2(x + 2y) (x − 3y)
Solution:
To simplify, we will proceed as follows:
x2(x + 2y) (x − 3y)
$=\left[x^{2}(x+2 y)\right](x-3 y)$
$=\left(x^{3}+2 x^{2} y\right)(x-3 y)$
$=x^{3}(x-3 y)+2 x^{2} y(x-3 y)$
$=x^{4}-3 x^{3} y+2 x^{3} y-6 x^{2} y^{2}$
$=x^{4}-x^{3} y-6 x^{2} y^{2}$
Thus, the answer is $x^{4}-x^{3} y-6 x^{2} y^{2}$.
