In this problem, we're being asked to multiply the two given polynomials in a and b.
00:05
So in a, we have x squared plus 1, and in b we have x to the 4th minus 2x plus 1.
00:11
All right, well, we're being asked to multiply them.
00:13
So let's write this out as a product, meaning we have x squared plus 1, and it's getting multiplied by x to the 4th minus 2x plus 1.
00:22
So in this case, we're multiplying a binomial by a trinomial.
00:26
To do this, we'll use the distributed property.
00:28
First, we'll distribute the x squared.
00:31
Well, x squared times x to the fourth is x to the 6.
00:34
X squared times negative 2x is negative 2x to the third...
