Algebra-1

To expand the expression (x + 2)(x² - 3x -1), we can use the distributive property and multiply each term of the first expression by each term of the second expression:

(x + 2)(x² - 3x -1) = x * (x² - 3x -1) + 2 * (x² - 3x -1)

Expanding further:

= x³ - 3x² - x + 2x² - 6x - 2

Combining like terms:

= x³ + (-3x² + 2
