Answer:

3x^3 +14x^2 +2x +35

Explanation:

The distributive property is used to find the product of polynomials. Terms can be collected to express the result with terms in order of decreasing degree.

__

(3x^2 -x +7)(x +5)

= x(3x^2 -x +7) +5(3x^2 -x +7) . . . . apply the distributive property

= (3x^3 -x^2 +7x) +(15x^2 -5x +35) . . . . show the products

= 3x^3 +(-1 +15)x^2 +(7 -5)x +35 . . . . . collect like terms

= 3x^3 +14x^2 +2x +35 . . . . . . . . write in standard form
