The given problem asks to find the polynomial $P(x+1)$ based on the polynomial $P(x^3)$, which is:

$P(x^3) = (a+2)x^7 + (b-1)x^6 + (b+3)x^5 + (a+b)x^3 + b$

The steps to solve this problem involve substituting $x+1$ into the polynomial in place of $x$. Let's work through the substitution.

Step 1: Substitute $x + 1$ into $P(x^3)$

The structure of $P(x^3)$ will remain the same in terms of powers of $x$, but now we replace $x$ with $(x+1)$.

The terms become: $P(x+1) = (a+2)(x+1)^7 + (b-1)(x+1)^6 + (b+3)(x+1)^5 + (a+b)(x+1)^3 + b$

Step 2: Expand each binomial expression

We will expand each term one by one using binomial expansion.

For $(x+1)^7$:

$(x+1)^7 = x^7 + 7x^6 + 21x^5 + 35x^4 + 35x^3 + 21x^2 + 7x + 1$ So: $(a+2)(x+1)^7 = (a+2)(x^7 + 7x^6 + 21x^5 + 35x^4 + 35x^3 + 21x^2 + 7x + 1)$

For $(x+1)^6$:

$(x+1)^6 = x^6 + 6x^5 + 15x^4 + 20x^3 + 15x^2 + 6x + 1$ So: $(b-1)(x+1)^6 = (b-1)(x^6 + 6x^5 + 15x^4 + 20x^3 + 15x^2 + 6x + 1)$

For $(x+1)^5$:

$(x+1)^5 = x^5 + 5x^4 + 10x^3 + 10x^2 + 5x + 1$ So: $(b+3)(x+1)^5 = (b+3)(x^5 + 5x^4 + 10x^3 + 10x^2 + 5x + 1)$

For $(x+1)^3$:

$(x+1)^3 = x^3 + 3x^2 + 3x + 1$ So: $(a+b)(x+1)^3 = (a+b)(x^3 + 3x^2 + 3x + 1)$

Step 3: Collect all the expanded terms

After expanding all the terms, we combine them to form the full expression of $P(x+1)$.
