The correct Answer is:
To multiply the algebraic expression \( x^2 + x + 1 \) by \( 1 - x \), we will use the distributive property (also known as the FOIL method for binomials). Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Write down the expressions to be multiplied We need to multiply: \[ (x^2 + x + 1) \times (1 - x) \] ### Step 2: Distribute each term in the first expression by each term in the second expression We will distribute \( x^2 \), \( x \), and \( 1 \) from the first expression across \( 1 \) and \( -x \) from the second expression. 1. **Multiply \( x^2 \) by \( 1 \)**: \[ x^2 \times 1 = x^2 \] 2. **Multiply \( x^2 \) by \( -x \)**: \[ x^2 \times -x = -x^3 \] 3. **Multiply \( x \) by \( 1 \)**: \[ x \times 1 = x \] 4. **Multiply \( x \) by \( -x \)**: \[ x \times -x = -x^2 \] 5. **Multiply \( 1 \) by \( 1 \)**: \[ 1 \times 1 = 1 \] 6. **Multiply \( 1 \) by \( -x \)**: \[ 1 \times -x = -x \] ### Step 3: Combine all the results Now we combine all the results from the multiplications: \[ x^2 - x^3 + x - x^2 + 1 - x \] ### Step 4: Simplify the expression Now we will combine like terms: - The \( x^2 \) and \( -x^2 \) cancel each other out: \[ x^2 - x^2 = 0 \] - The \( x \) and \( -x \) also cancel each other out: \[ x - x = 0 \] So we are left with: \[ - x^3 + 1 \] ### Final Result Rearranging gives us: \[ 1 - x^3 \] Thus, the final answer is: \[ \boxed{1 - x^3} \]
