Question
Simplify:
​​​​​​​$ a^2 b\left(a^3-a+1\right)-a b\left(a^4-2 a^2+2 a\right)-b\left(a^3-a^2-1\right) $

Answer

To simplify, we will use distributive law as follows:​
$ a^2 b\left(a^3-a+1\right)-a b\left(a^4-2 a^2+2 a\right)-b\left(a^3-a^2-1\right) $
$ =a^5 b-a^3 b+a^2 b-a^5 b+2 a^3 b-2 a^2 b-a^3 b+a^2 b+b $
$ =a^5 b-a^5 b-a^3 b+2 a^3 b-a^3 b+a^2 b-2 a^2 b+a^2 b+b $
$ =b $
