Answer

$f^3+5f^2+12f+8$.

Work Step by Step

The given expression is $=(f+1)(f^2+4f+8)$ Distribute $(f^2+4f+8)$ to each term of $(f+1)$. $=f(f^2+4f+8)+1(f^2+4f+8)$ Use distributive property. $=f(f^2)+f(4f)+f(8)+1(f^2)+1(4f)+1(8)$ Multiply. $=f^3+4f^2+8f+f^2+4f+8$ Combine like terms. $=f^3+5f^2+12f+8$ Hence, the product is $f^3+5f^2+12f+8$.
