Answer

$2u^2-\frac{5u}{2}-\frac{3}{4}$.

Work Step by Step

The given expression is $=(2u+\frac{1}{2})(u-\frac{3}{2})$ Use the FOIL method. $=2u(u)+2u(-\frac{3}{2})+\frac{1}{2}(u)+\frac{1}{2}(-\frac{3}{2})$ Multiply. $=2u^2-3u+\frac{u}{2}-\frac{3}{4}$ Combine like terms. $=2u^2-\frac{5u}{2}-\frac{3}{4}$ Hence, the product is $2u^2-\frac{5u}{2}-\frac{3}{4}$.
