Show that (x + 1)(x + 2)(x + 3) can be written in the form ax3 + bx2 + cx + d where a, b, c and d are positive integers.

(x + 1)(x + 2) = x^2 + 2x + x + 2 = x^2 + 3x+2therefore(x + 1)(x + 2)(x+3)= (x^2+3x+2)(x+3) = x^3 + 3x^2 + 2x + 3x^2 + 9x + 6 = x^3 + 6x^2+ 11x + 6where a=1 b=6 c=11 and d=9expansion of brackets can be done ...

In the expansion of (x-7)(3x**2+kx-3) the coefficient of x**2 is 0. i) Find the value of k ii) Find the coefficient of x. iii) write the fully expanded equation in terms of x

i) multiply out: 3x 3+kx 2-3x-21x 2-7kx+21 simplify: 3x 3+(k-21)x 2+(-7k-3)x+21 the coefficient of x 2 is 0 and therefore k-21=0 k=21. ii)from i) the coefficient of x is (-7k-3) k=21 and therefore the requir...
