x^{2} + x + 1

$x^{2} + x + 1$ ,

x^{2} + 8 x + 1

$x^{2} + 8 x + 1$

Step 1

Multiply the expressions.

(x^{2} + x + 1) \cdot (x^{2} + 8 x + 1)

$(x^{2} + x + 1) \cdot (x^{2} + 8 x + 1)$

Step 2

Expand

(x^{2} + x + 1) (x^{2} + 8 x + 1)

$(x^{2} + x + 1) (x^{2} + 8 x + 1)$ by multiplying each term in the first expression by each term in the second expression.

x^{2} x^{2} + x^{2} (8 x) + x^{2} \cdot 1 + x \cdot x^{2} + x (8 x) + x \cdot 1 + 1 x^{2} + 1 (8 x) + 1 \cdot 1

$x^{2} x^{2} + x^{2} (8 x) + x^{2} \cdot 1 + x \cdot x^{2} + x (8 x) + x \cdot 1 + 1 x^{2} + 1 (8 x) + 1 \cdot 1$
