=4x^4+10x^3+27x^2-41x-70=4x4+10x3+27x241x70

Explanation:

Each term in the first bracket has to be multiplied by each term in the second bracket.

(color(red)(x^2) +color(blue)(3x)+color(green)(10))(4x^2-2x-7)(x2+3x+10)(4x22x7)

=color(red)(x^2)(4x^2-2x-7) +color(blue)(3x)(4x^2-2x-7)+color(green)(10)(4x^2-2x-7)=x2(4x22x7)+3x(4x22x7)+10(4x22x7)

=color(red)(4x^4-2x^3-7x^2) +color(blue)(12x^3-6x^2-21x)+color(green)(40x^2-20x-70)=4x42x37x2+12x36x221x+40x220x70

Now simplify by collecting the like terms,

=(4x^4)+(-2x^3+12x^3)+(-7x^2-6x^2+40x^2)+(-21x-20x)+(-70)=(4x4)+(2x3+12x3)+(7x26x2+40x2)+(21x20x)+(70)

=4x^4+10x^3+27x^2-41x-70=4x4+10x3+27x241x70
