Answer:
[tex]\frac{5}{2}x^3-\frac{9}{4}x^2+\frac{7}{2}x-\frac{3}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given polynomials are [tex]\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{1}{4}[/tex] and [tex]5x^2-2x+6[/tex].
Now we need to find their product which can be done as follows:
[tex]\left(\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{1}{4}\right)\left(5x^2-2x+6\right)[/tex]
[tex]=5x^2\left(\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{1}{4}\right)-2x\left(\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{1}{4}\right)+6\left(\frac{1}{2}x-\frac{1}{4}\right)[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{5}{2}x^3-\frac{5}{4}x^2-x^2+\frac{1}{2}x+3x-\frac{3}{2}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{5}{2}x^3-\frac{9}{4}x^2+\frac{7}{2}x-\frac{3}{2}[/tex]
Hence final answer is [tex]\frac{5}{2}x^3-\frac{9}{4}x^2+\frac{7}{2}x-\frac{3}{2}[/tex].
