=(x−2)^5 (x+1)^5   coefficients of (a±b)^5   1; ±5; 10; ±10; 5; ±1  (x−2)^5 =  =x^5 −10x^4 +40x^3 −80x^2 +80x−32  (x+1)^2 =  =x^5 +5x^4 +10x^3 +10x^2 +5x+1  now just multiplicate those  who will give x^5   1−50+400−800+400−32=−81

(x^2 −x−2)^5 =Σ((5!)/(a!b!c!))(x^2 )^a (−x)^b (−2)^c   =Σ((5!)/(a!b!c!))(−1)^(b+c) .2^c .x^(2a+b)   a+b+c=5, 2a+b=5  There are only 3 cases for a,b,c:  (1)a=0,b=5,c=0  (2)a=1,b=3,c=1  (3)a=2,b=1,c=2  Coefficient of x^(2a+b)  is  =Σ((5!)/(a!b!c!))(−1)^(b+c) .2^c   So we get ((5!)/(0!5!0!))(−1)+((5!)/(3!))×2+((5!)/(2!2!))(−1)×4  =−1+40−120=−81

$$\left({x}^{\mathrm{2}} −{x}−\mathrm{2}\right)^{\mathrm{5}} =\Sigma\frac{\mathrm{5}!}{{a}!{b}!{c}!}\left({x}^{\mathrm{2}} \right)^{{a}} \left(−{x}\right)^{{b}} \left(−\mathrm{2}\right)^{{c}} \\ $$$$=\Sigma\frac{\mathrm{5}!}{{a}!{b}!{c}!}\left(−\mathrm{1}\right)^{{b}+{c}} .\mathrm{2}^{{c}} .{x}^{\mathrm{2}{a}+{b}} \\ $$$${a}+{b}+{c}=\mathrm{5},\:\mathrm{2}{a}+{b}=\mathrm{5} \\ $$$${There}\:{are}\:{only}\:\mathrm{3}\:{cases}\:{for}\:{a},{b},{c}: \\ $$$$\left(\mathrm{1}\right){a}=\mathrm{0},{b}=\mathrm{5},{c}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\left(\mathrm{2}\right){a}=\mathrm{1},{b}=\mathrm{3},{c}=\mathrm{1} \\ $$$$\left(\mathrm{3}\right){a}=\mathrm{2},{b}=\mathrm{1},{c}=\mathrm{2} \\ $$$${Coefficient}\:{of}\:{x}^{\mathrm{2}{a}+{b}} \:{is} \\ $$$$=\Sigma\frac{\mathrm{5}!}{{a}!{b}!{c}!}\left(−\mathrm{1}\right)^{{b}+{c}} .\mathrm{2}^{{c}} \\ $$$${So}\:{we}\:{get}\:\frac{\mathrm{5}!}{\mathrm{0}!\mathrm{5}!\mathrm{0}!}\left(−\mathrm{1}\right)+\frac{\mathrm{5}!}{\mathrm{3}!}×\mathrm{2}+\frac{\mathrm{5}!}{\mathrm{2}!\mathrm{2}!}\left(−\mathrm{1}\right)×\mathrm{4} \\ $$$$=−\mathrm{1}+\mathrm{40}−\mathrm{120}=−\mathrm{81} \\ $$
