Solve x^2(x+1)(x-8)

$$x ^ { 2 } ( x + 1 ) ( x - 8 )$$

Evaluate

$$\left(x-8\right)\left(x+1\right)x^{2}$$

Solution Steps

Use the distributive property to multiply x^{2} by x+1.

$$\left(x^{3}+x^{2}\right)\left(x-8\right)$$

Use the distributive property to multiply x^{3}+x^{2} by x-8 and combine like terms.

$$x^{4}-7x^{3}-8x^{2}$$

Expand

$$x^{4}-7x^{3}-8x^{2}$$

Solution Steps

Use the distributive property to multiply x^{2} by x+1.

$$\left(x^{3}+x^{2}\right)\left(x-8\right)$$

Use the distributive property to multiply x^{3}+x^{2} by x-8 and combine like terms.

$$x^{4}-7x^{3}-8x^{2}$$
