1. Let $f(x)$ be the polynomial \[f(x)=x^7-3x^3+2.\]If $g(x) = f(x + 1)$, what is the sum of the coefficients of $g(x)$?
2. Expand $(2z^2 + 5z - 6)(3z^3 - 2z + 1)$.
+4609 2. Distribute parenthesis, apply minus-plus rules, and solve to get \(6z^5+15z^4-22z^3-8z^2+17z-6\)
+128474 f(x) = x^7 - 3x^3 + 2
g(x) = f(x + 1) = (x + 1)^7 - 3(x+ 1)^3 + 2
The sum of the the coefficients of g(x) =
