Ok well I guess I am dumb because I am having way to hard of a time with a problem like this and if anyone is willing to help me out with this type of math or just this one problem I would be so happy
(x+1)(x^3+4x^2-x+3)
The "^" means to the power of for example x^3 means x to the power of 3 or x cubed or whateever...I am just lost anyone willing to help out a college kid...and yes its retard math lol

So would it be x^4+fx^3+3x^2+4x+3?

THIS IS VERY SIMPLE, IF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE DISTRUBUTIVE PROPERTY!
YOU see in the first set of parentheses is the x, you distrubute this (or multiply) it to the x cubed to the 3 to the 4x cubed to the 2 to the x and to the 3
Second is the 1 you distrubute this also (or multiply) to the other set of parentheses
-multiple 1 times the x cubed
-1 times the 3
-1 times the 4x cubed
-1 times the 2
-1 times the x
-1 times the 3
once you have this equation figured out you then combine like terms
for example
-all the x cubes together
-all the x squared(s) together
- and so on!
P.S. - I'm a genius math wizard kid ......i am only 13 in 7th grade taking 12th grade math!! Its quite fun
DONT CALL ME A GEEK OR ILL BOP YOU IN THE FACE!

No, there is not extra effectual approach than "guess and examine". that doesn't recommend despite the fact that this is recommended to study too many stuff. the climate of the coefficient of the 1st term, 40, are a million*40, 2*20, 4*10, and 5*8. The final term is -40, so which you will possibly be able to desire to discover pairs of components that provide you a distinction of 39. the only mixture that works is (8*8) - (5*5) = sixty 4 - 25 = 39. So the factoring provides (8x - 5)(5x + 8) = 0 you are able to resolve it from right here.

Is this the kind of answer you'd expect?
x^4 + 5x^3 + 3x^2 + 2x + 3

you have to multiply x by each term in in the second colunm and then multiply 1 by each term in the second column then you just add or subtract the like terms.
