1. Problem Description

The problem asks to expand and simplify the expression f(x)=(3+x3)(4x3+3)f(x) = (-3+x^{-3})(-4x^3+3).

2. Solution Steps

We need to expand the product of the two binomials. We use the distributive property (also known as the FOIL method).
f(x)=(3+x3)(4x3+3)f(x) = (-3+x^{-3})(-4x^3+3)
f(x)=(3)(4x3)+(3)(3)+(x3)(4x3)+(x3)(3)f(x) = (-3)(-4x^3) + (-3)(3) + (x^{-3})(-4x^3) + (x^{-3})(3)
f(x)=12x394x3+3+3x3f(x) = 12x^3 - 9 - 4x^{-3+3} + 3x^{-3}
f(x)=12x394x0+3x3f(x) = 12x^3 - 9 - 4x^0 + 3x^{-3}
Since x0=1x^0 = 1, we have:
f(x)=12x394+3x3f(x) = 12x^3 - 9 - 4 + 3x^{-3}
f(x)=12x313+3x3f(x) = 12x^3 - 13 + 3x^{-3}
f(x)=12x313+3x3f(x) = 12x^3 - 13 + \frac{3}{x^3}

3. Final Answer

f(x)=12x313+3x3f(x) = 12x^3 - 13 + \frac{3}{x^3}
