$(a + b + c) (a^{2} + a b + b c + c^{2})$

Step 1

Expand $(a + b + c) (a^{2} + a b + b c + c^{2})$ by multiplying each term in the first expression by each term in the second expression.

$a \cdot a^{2} + a (a b) + a (b c) + a c^{2} + b a^{2} + b (a b) + b (b c) + b c^{2} + c a^{2} + c (a b) + c (b c) + c \cdot c^{2}$
