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

Answer

To simplify, we will proceed as follows:
$ \left(x^3-2 x^2+3 x-4\right)(x-1)-(2 x-3)\left(x^2-x+1\right) $
$ =\left[\left(x^3-2 x^2+3 x-4\right)(x-1)\right]-[(2 x-3)(x 2-x+1)] $
$ =\left[x\left(x^3-2 x^2+3 x-4\right)-1\left(x^3-2 x^2+3 x-4\right)\right]-\left[2 x\left(x^2-x+1\right)-3\left(x^2-x+1\right)\right] \text { (Distributive law) } $
$ =x^4-2 x^3+3 x^2-4 x-x 3+2 x^2-3 x+4-\left[2 x^3-2 x^2+2 x-3 x^2+3 x-3\right] $
$ =x^4-2 x^3+3 x^2-4 x-x 3+2 x^2-3 x+4-2 x^3+2 x^2-2 x+3 x^2-3 x+3 $
$ =x 4-2 x^3-2 x^3-x^3+3 x^2+2 x^2+2 x^2+3 x^2-4 x-3 x-2 x-3 x+4+3 \text { (Rearranging) } $
$ =x^4-5 x^3+10 x^2-12 x+7 \text { (Combining like terms) }$
Thus, the answer is $x^4-5 x^3+10 x^2-12 x+7$.
