Answer

$x^3y^2+2x^2y^2+x^2y^3+3xy+2xy^3+3y^2$

Work Step by Step

Using the Distributive Property, the given expression, $ (2xy+x^2y+3)(xy+y^2) ,$ simplifies to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} 2xy(xy)+2xy(y^2)+x^2y(xy)+x^2y(y^2)+3(xy)+3(y^2) \\\\= 2x^2y^2+2xy^3+x^3y^2+x^2y^3+3xy+3y^2 \\\\= x^3y^2+2x^2y^2+x^2y^3+3xy+2xy^3+3y^2 .\end{array}
