Question

Multiply the polynomials. (x-3)(x^2+2x+1)

Answer 1

Answer:

$x^{3} -x^{2} -5x-3$

Step-by-step explanation:

you use distributive property for this, or you can do the box method

distributive:

$x(x^{2} +2x+1)-3(x^{2} +2x+1)$ (you multiply the second equation by x-3)

then distribute, or multiply everything

$x^{3} +2x^{2} +x-3x^{2} -6x-3$

then collect like terms

$x^{3} -x^{2} -5x-3$

Answer 2

Answer is x^3-x^2-5x-3.
