00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.821
Here is the problem: (x cubed) squared.

2
00:00:03.271 --> 00:00:06.081
Simplify the polynomial expression in x.

3
00:00:06.881 --> 00:00:08.100
Read the expression.

4
00:00:08.550 --> 00:00:13.182
Write the result in standard form. Terms are ordered by descending total degree.

5
00:00:13.982 --> 00:00:16.409
So the answer is x to the power 6.

6
00:00:16.859 --> 00:00:24.835
After expanding and combining like terms the expression is x to the power 6, a polynomial of degree 6 with 1 term.

7
00:00:25.635 --> 00:00:40.983
Spot check at x equals 0.73: original 0.1513342263, simplified 0.1513342263, which checks out.
