Expand (x^2 + 1/x)*(x + x^4)^3.

Let's put them all of them with denominator x. 

(x3+1)(x+x4)3x

 

Factoring the cube first, we get

(x3+1)x3(x+1)3(x2x+1)3x

 

Canceling out the denominator, we get

(x3+1)x2(x+1)3(x2x+1)3

 

Expanding everything, we finally get

x14+4x11+6x8+4x5+x2

 

That's our final answer!

 

Thanks! :)

(x2+1/x)(x+x4)3

i then reformatted stuff to get(x3+1x)(x3+3x6+3x9+x12)

i further expanded to getx3+4x9+6x9+4x12+x15x

then just substract one from all the powers in the numerator to get the final answer of x2+4x5+6x8+4x11+x14. :)
