a. (x + 1)(x2 - x + 1) = x3 - x2 + x + x2 - x + 1 = x3 + 1
b. -2x3(2x3 - 3y + 5yz) = -4x6 + 6x3y - 10x3yz
c. \(\dfrac{2}{3}x^2y\left(3xy-x^2+y\right)=2x^3y^2-\dfrac{2}{3}x^4y+\dfrac{2}{3}x^2y^2\)
d. (x - y)(x2 + xy + y2) = x3 + x2y + xy2 - yx2 - xy2 + y3 = x3 - y3
e. \(\left(\dfrac{1}{2}xy-1\right)\left(x^3-2x-6\right)=\dfrac{1}{2}x^4y-x^2y-3xy-x^3+2x+6\)
