| ① | Multiply each term of $ \left( \color{blue}{3x^2-3x+1}\right) $ by each term in $ \left( 2x^2+x-1\right) $. $$ \left( \color{blue}{3x^2-3x+1}\right) \cdot \left( 2x^2+x-1\right) = 6x^4+3x^3-3x^2-6x^3-3x^2+3x+2x^2+x-1 $$ |
| ② | Combine like terms: $$ 6x^4+ \color{blue}{3x^3} \color{red}{-3x^2} \color{blue}{-6x^3} \color{green}{-3x^2} + \color{orange}{3x} + \color{green}{2x^2} + \color{orange}{x} -1 = 6x^4 \color{blue}{-3x^3} \color{green}{-4x^2} + \color{orange}{4x} -1 $$ |
