=color(blue)(81a^3 + 27a^2 +11a+2

Explanation:

color(blue)((9a+2))(9a^2+a+1)
=color(blue)((9a)) *(9a^2+a+1) +color(blue)((2)) . (9a^2+a+1)

note : color(blue)(a^m*a^n=a^(m+n), is the property applied to exponents of a

=81a^3 +9a^2 +9a + 18a^2 +2a +2

Adding like terms

=color(blue)(81a^3 + 27a^2 +11a+2
