Answer

$x^4-x^3+2x^2+x+3$.

Work Step by Step

The given expression is $=(x^2-2x+3)(x^2+x+1)$ Multiply the right side trinomial by each term of the left side trinomial. $=x^2(x^2+x+1)-2x(x^2+x+1)+3(x^2+x+1)$ Clear the parentheses. $=x^4+x^3+x^2-2x^3-2x^2-2x+3x^2+3x+3$ Add like terms. $=x^4-x^3+2x^2+x+3$.
