$x^{3} + x^{2} + 1$ , $x^{2} + 2 x$

Step 1

Multiply the expressions.

$(x^{3} + x^{2} + 1) \cdot (x^{2} + 2 x)$

Step 2

Expand $(x^{3} + x^{2} + 1) (x^{2} + 2 x)$ by multiplying each term in the first expression by each term in the second expression.

$x^{3} x^{2} + x^{3} (2 x) + x^{2} x^{2} + x^{2} (2 x) + 1 x^{2} + 1 (2 x)$
