Bài 7 (trang 8 SGK Toán 8 Tập 1):
a) (x2–2x+1).(x-1)
=x2.(x–1)+(–2x).(x–1)+1.(x–1)
=x2.x + x2.(–1)+(–2x).x+(–2x).(–1)+1.x+1.(–1)
= x3–x2–2x2+2x+x–1
=x3 – (x2 + 2x2) + (2x + x) – 1
=x3 – 3x2 + 3x – 1
b) (x3 – 2x2 + x – 1)(5 – x)
= (x3 – 2x2 + x – 1).5 + (x3 – 2x2 + x – 1).(–x)
= x3.5 + (–2x2).5 + x.5 + (–1).5 + x3.(–x) + (–2x2).(–x) + x.(–x) + (–1).(–x)
= 5x3 – 10x2 + 5x – 5 – x4 + 2x3 – x2 + x
= –x4 + (5x3 + 2x3) – (10x2 + x2) + (5x + x) – 5
= –x4 + 7x3 – 11x2 + 6x – 5
Ta có:
(x3 – 2x2 + x – 1).(x – 5)
= (x3 – 2x2 + x – 1).[–(5 – x)]
= – (x3 – 2x2 + x – 1).(5 – x)
= – (–x4 + 7x3 – 11x2 + 6x – 5)
= x4 – 7x3 + 11x2 – 6x + 5.
