Answer:
x^3 - x^2 - 17x + 12
Step-by-step explanation:
To multiply two polynomials together, first multiply each term of one polynomial by each term of the other polynomial. Then, collect like terms.
(x + 4)(x^2 - 5x + 3) =
Multiply x by each term of x^2 - 5x + 3. Multiply 4 by each term of x^2 - 5x + 3.
= x^3 - 5x^2 + 3x + 4x^2 - 20x + 12
Now collect like terms and write them in descending order of degree.
= x^3 - x^2 - 17x + 12
