Answer:

-x^3+5x^2-8x+1, which is choice A

======================================

Work Shown:

f(x) = x^3 - x^2 - 3

f(x) = (x)^3 - (x)^2 - 3

f(2-x) = (2-x)^3 - (2-x)^2 - 3 ................ see note 1 (below)

f(2-x) = (2-x)(2-x)^2 - (2-x)^2 - 3 ........... see note 2

f(2-x) = (2-x)(4-4x+x^2) - (4-4x+x^2) - 3 ..... see note 3

f(2-x) = -x^3+6x^2-12x+8 - (4-4x+x^2) - 3 ..... see note 4

f(2-x) = -x^3+6x^2-12x+8 - 4+4x-x^2 - 3 ....... see note 5

f(2-x) = -x^3+5x^2-8x+1

----------

note1: I replaced every copy of x with 2-x. Be careful to use parenthesis so that you go from x^3 to (2-x)^3, same for the x^2 term as well.

note2: The (2-x)^3 is like y^3 with y = 2-x. We can break up y^3 into y*y^2, so that means (2-x)^3 = (2-x)(2-x)^2

note3: (2-x)^2 expands out into 4-4x+x^2 as shown in figure 1 (attached image below). I used the box method for this and for note 4 as well. Each inner box or cell is the result of multiplying the outside terms. Example: in row1, column1 we have 2 times 2 = 4. You could use the FOIL rule or distribution property, but the box method is ideal so you don't lose track of terms.

note4: (2-x)(4-4x+x^2) turns into -x^3+6x^2-12x+8 when expanding everything out. See figure 2 (attached image below). Same story as note 3, but it's a bit more complicated.

note5: distribute the negative through to ALL the terms inside the parenthesis of (4-4x+x^2) to end up with -4+4x-x^2

(4x^5 + 3x^2 – x^4) +(6x^2 - 2x^5)
Monica [59]

Answer:

The simplified equation is as follows 2x^5 -x^4 + 9x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Remove the parentheses around each equation and pair like exponents together

4x^5 - 2x^5 - x^4 + 3x^2 + 6x^2

Then combine the like terms

2x^5 - x^4 + 9x^2

It is in that order due to the proper form being to go from the highest to lowest exponents in an answer
