Beats me - do you want to explain what you are talking about?

Hey Chris,

Are you going to show this person how you got your answer?

If you were factoring a polynomial that had integer roots, there are some good methods to help you find them.  But your one does not have integer roots so everything Chris said is correct.

I really liked the way you phrased your question anonymous.    

$$s^2=5^2=25$$

It is almost right Rosala,  you have made a mistake on the second line and it has carried through to your final answer.  Can you find it by yourself?  I think that you can!

okay Rosala, I certainly did not expect you to understand how I got it - it is a bit tricky.

But I think you might be able to simplify it.  I will give you a start.

$$x^3+(3x^2\times 6)+(3x\times 6^2)+(6^3)$$

Can you simplify the bits inside the brackets?

If you can't I will help some more.

P(exactly one ace)= 2* 4/52 * 48/51 = 0.14479638 approx

P (one or 2 aces) = the above + 4/52*3/51 = 0.14932 approx

Same as Alan, how about that !

hi Rosala,

That depends 

If the question meant (x+6)*3 then yes your answer is correct,

However, I expect that the question was supposed to be (x+6)³

in which case the answer would be

$$x^3+3x^2\times 6+3x\times 6^2+6^3$$

Could you please simplify this for me Rosala?

Tnhe is a 2nd function key at the top left of the calc.   Is that what you mean?
