algebra precalculus - Simplify this expression fully



How would i simplify fully the following expression?




2(x3)32x2



So far i have got this



2x332x2 = 2x342x



Am not quite sure if this is correct however, could someone help explain how i would simplify this expression?


Answer



There is a mistake in the OP. Recall that x2=|x|x when x<0. To simplify, we can write




2x332x=2x342|x|=x3|x|4
