is it possible to multiply 2 symbolic polynomials?

for example if i have

f=[34 43 5]

%and

h=[32 34 4]

% i can use the (conv command) and obtain the resultant polynomial

fh=conv(f,h)

%what about

fsym=poly2sym(f)

%and

hsym=poly2sym(h)

is there any way i can multiply them ?

The easiest way to find out is to do the experiment —

syms x 
f=[34 43 5]

f = 1×3

34 43 5

 %and
 h=[32 34 4]

h = 1×3

32 34 4

% i can use the (conv command) and obtain the resultant polynomial
fh=conv(f,h)

fh = 1×5

1088 2532 1758 342 20

%what about
fsym=poly2sym(f,x)

fsym = 

 %and
 hsym=poly2sym(h,x)

hsym = 

 
 polyprod = fsym * hsym

polyprod = 

 
 polyprod = expand(polyprod)

polyprod = 

 
 polyprod = simplify(polyprod,500)

polyprod = 

.
