| ① | Multiply each term of $ \left( \color{blue}{3x^3-4x+8}\right) $ by each term in $ \left( 2x^2-8x+4\right) $. $$ \left( \color{blue}{3x^3-4x+8}\right) \cdot \left( 2x^2-8x+4\right) = 6x^5-24x^4+12x^3-8x^3+32x^2-16x+16x^2-64x+32 $$ |
| ② | Combine like terms: $$ 6x^5-24x^4+ \color{blue}{12x^3} \color{blue}{-8x^3} + \color{red}{32x^2} \color{green}{-16x} + \color{red}{16x^2} \color{green}{-64x} +32 = \\ = 6x^5-24x^4+ \color{blue}{4x^3} + \color{red}{48x^2} \color{green}{-80x} +32 $$ |
