x2−2x−3

Answer 1

To find the product of the polynomial expressions \((xy+1)(x-3)\), we can use the distributive property (also known as the FOIL method in this case).

1. Distributing \(xy\) to both terms in \((x-3)\):
- \(xy \cdot x = x^2y\)
- \(xy \cdot (-3) = -3xy\)

2. Distributing \(1\) to both terms in \((x-3)\):
- \(1 \cdot x = x\)
- \(1 \cdot (-3) = -3\)

Now we can combine all the products:
\[
x^2y - 3xy + x - 3
\]

So, the correct product of the expressions \((xy+1)(x-3)\) is:
\[
x^2y - 3xy + x - 3
\]

Thus, the answer is:
**x²y - 3xy + x - 3 (Response 1)**
