Answer

$x^3+6x^2+13x+8$.

Work Step by Step

The given expression is $=(x+1)(x^2+5x+8)$ Distribute $(x^2+5x+8)$ to each term of $(x+1)$. $=x(x^2+5x+8)+1(x^2+5x+8)$ Use distributive property. $=x(x^2)+x(5x)+x(8)+1(x^2)+1(5x)+1(8)$ Multiply. $=x^3+5x^2+8x+x^2+5x+8$ Combine like terms. $=x^3+6x^2+13x+8$ Hence, the product is $x^3+6x^2+13x+8$.
