(1-10x)^4 does not expand
Help, In HOME with HP Prime,
I enter (1-10x)^4 and expect something like #x^4+#x^3+#x^2+#x+c where # is any number. However my result is (1.-10x)^4 which is just what I started with. How do I get the binomial raised to the 4th power to expand? Thanks - Cheers! |

Hi,
expand is an algebric CAS command, you can use it for polynomials and rational functions (powexpand for expressions with exponents and texpand for transcendent functions) Best, Aries |

Aries, Thank you for your reply.
I am still confused. Are you saying that I cannot directly input (1-10x)^4 in the HOME textbox and get the expansion. Are you saying I must use the powexpand command in the CAS textbox to get the expansion? Cheers! |

RE: (1-10x)^4 does not expand
Try CAS.expand('expression') or CAS.expand('expression','variable') in HOME mode
Algebric objects need single quotes. Best, Aries |

Either of these should work:
[HOME] CAS("expand((1-10*x)^4)"); CAS.expand("(1-10*x)^4"); Note the multiplication sign at 10*x, to avoid implicit multiplication issues. |
