Find each of the following products:

(x2 – 3x + 7) × (2x + 3)

By using horizontal method,


We have;


= (x2 – 3x + 7) × (2x + 3)


= 2x(x2 – 3x + 7) + 3(x2 – 3x + 7)


= 2x3 - 6x2 + 14x + 3x2 – 9x + 21


By arranging the expression in the form of descending powers of x,


We get;


= 2x3 – 6x2 + 3x2 + 14x – 9x + 21


= 2x3 – 3x2 + 5x + 21
