We need to expand the product of the two binomials. We use the distributive property (also known as the FOIL method).
f(x)=(−3+x−3)(−4x3+3) f(x)=(−3)(−4x3)+(−3)(3)+(x−3)(−4x3)+(x−3)(3) f(x)=12x3−9−4x−3+3+3x−3 f(x)=12x3−9−4x0+3x−3 Since x0=1, we have: f(x)=12x3−9−4+3x−3 f(x)=12x3−13+3x−3 f(x)=12x3−13+x33
