Using a table

Now add up all the First the term


terms in the table in x4

x² 3x -2
2x² 2x4 6x³ -4x²
-x -x³ -3x² 2x
4 4x² 12x -8

(x² + 3x – 2)(2x² - x + 4) = 2x4


Using a table

Now add up all the


terms in the table
x² 3x -2
then the terms
2x² 2x4 6x³ -4x² in x³
-x -x³ -3x² 2x
4 4x² 12x -8

(x² + 3x – 2)(2x² - x + 4) = 2x4 + 5x³


Using a table

Now add up all the


terms in the table
x² 3x -2
2x² 2x4 6x³ -4x²
then the terms
-x -x³ -3x² 2x in x²
4 4x² 12x -8

(x² + 3x – 2)(2x² - x + 4) = 2x4 + 5x³ - 3x²


Using a table

Now add up all the


terms in the table
x² 3x -2
2x² 2x4 6x³ -4x²
then the terms
-x -x³ -3x² 2x in x
4 4x² 12x -8

(x² + 3x – 2)(2x² - x + 4) = 2x4 + 5x³ - 3x²+ 14x


Using a table

Now add up all the


terms in the table
x² 3x -2
2x² 2x4 6x³ -4x²
and finally the
-x -x³ -3x² 2x constant term
4 4x² 12x -8

(x² + 3x – 2)(2x² - x + 4) = 2x4 + 5x³ - 3x²+ 14x - 8

Multiplying in your head

Multiply x² + 3x – 2 by 2x² – x + 4

(x² + 3x – 2)(2x² – x + 4)
Multiplying in your head

Start by multiplying the


first terms in each bracket
to give a term in x4

(x² + 3x – 2)(2x² – x + 4)

= 2x4
Multiplying in your head

Now look for pairs of terms


which multiply together to give a
term in x³. There are two pairs.

(x² + 3x – 2)(2x² – x + 4)

= 2x4 – x³
Multiplying in your head

Now look for pairs of terms


which multiply together to give a
term in x³. There are two pairs.

(x² + 3x – 2)(2x² – x + 4)

= 2x4 – x³ + 6x³
Multiplying in your head

Now look for pairs of terms which


multiply together to give a term in
x². There are three pairs.

(x² + 3x – 2)(2x² – x + 4)

= 2x4 – x³ + 6x³ + 4x²


Multiplying in your head

Now look for pairs of terms which


multiply together to give a term in
x². There are three pairs.

(x² + 3x – 2)(2x² – x + 4)

= 2x4 – x³ + 6x³ + 4x² - 3x²


Multiplying in your head

Now look for pairs of terms which


multiply together to give a term in
x². There are three pairs.

(x² + 3x – 2)(2x² – x + 4)

= 2x4 – x³ + 6x³ + 4x² - 3x²- 4x²


Multiplying in your head

Now look for pairs of terms


which multiply together to give
a term in x. There are two pairs.

(x² + 3x – 2)(2x² – x + 4)

= 2x4 – x³ + 6x³ + 4x² - 3x²- 4x²+ 12x


Multiplying in your head

Now look for pairs of terms


which multiply together to give
a term in x. There are two pairs.

(x² + 3x – 2)(2x² – x + 4)

= 2x4 – x³ + 6x³ + 4x² - 3x²- 4x²+ 12x + 2x


Multiplying in your head

Finally multiply the last two


terms in each bracket to give
the constant term.

(x² + 3x – 2)(2x² – x + 4)

= 2x4 – x³ + 6x³ + 4x² - 3x²- 4x²+ 12x + 2x - 8


Multiplying in your head

Now simplify by collecting like


terms.

(x² + 3x – 2)(2x² – x + 4)

= 2x4 – x³ + 6x³ + 4x² - 3x²- 4x²+ 12x + 2x - 8

= 2x4 + 5x³ - 3x² + 14x - 8
