Answer:
12x³ - 14x² + 8x - 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
(4x - 2)(3x² - 2x + 1)
Each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor, that is
= 4x(3x² - 2x + 1) - 2(3x² - 2x + 1) ← distribute both parenthesis
= 12x³ - 8x² + 4x - 6x² + 4x - 2 ← collect like terms
= 12x³ - 14x² + 8x - 2 ← in standard form
