The variables A, B, and C represent polynomials where A = x + 1, B = x2 + 2x − 1, and C = 2x. What is AB + C in simplest form?
Well, they've given you A,B, and C,
AB+C will be
\(=(x+1)(x^2+2x-1)+2x\)
\(=(x^3+3 x^2+x-1)+2x\)
\(=x^3+3 x^2+3 x-1\)
Answer: The simplest form is, \(x^3+3x^2+3x-1\)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
\(A=x + 1\)
\(B=x^2+2x-1\)
\(C=2x\)
The given expression is, \(AB+C\)
Now put the values of A, B and C in the given expression, we get the simplest form.
\(AB+C\)
\(=(x + 1)\times (x^2+2x-1)+2x\)
\(=x^3+2x^2-x+x^2+2x-1+2x\)
\(=x^3+3x^2+3x-1\)
Hence, the simplest form of the given expression is, \(x^3+3x^2+3x-1\)
