Question

What is an equivalent function to f(x)=(x-2)^3

Answer 1

x^3-6x^2-4x-8

Explanation:

First you would multiply (x-2) by itself (x-2) to get

x^2-2x-2x+4

then you would combine like terms

x^2-4x+4

Then you would multiply that by x-2

(x^2-4x+4)(x-2)

x^3-2x^2-4x^2-8x+4x-8

then you combine like terms

x^3-6x^2-4x-8
