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

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)* (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
