Answer

$m^4+2m^3-3m^2-4m+4$

Work Step by Step

Using $(a+b+c)^2=a^2+b^2+c^2+2ab+2ac+2bc$ or the square of a multinomial, then, \begin{array}{l} (m^2+m-2)^2 \\= (m^2)^2+(m)^2+(-2)^2+2(m^2)(m)+2(m^2)(-2)+2(m)(-2) \\= m^4+m^2+4+2m^3-4m^2-4m \\= m^4+2m^3+(m^2-4m^2)-4m+4 \\= m^4+2m^3-3m^2-4m+4 .\end{array}
