Hi there!
To solve this equation, we can use distributive property.
I listed the terms you have to multiply :
x² × x² = x^4
x² × 2x = 2x³
x² × 5 = 5x²
2x × x² = 2x³
2x × 2x = 4x²
2x × 5 = 10x
-1 × x² = -x²
-1 × 2x = -2x
-1 × 5 = -5
Add all of them....
x^4 + 2x³ + 5x² +2x³ + 4x² + 10x - x² - 2x - 5
add up the like terms to simplify
x^4 + 4x³ + 8x² + 8x - 5
Hope this helped! :)
