Multiplication of Algebraic Expressions

[morikaweb]

Here is the question:
x^3(x^4 + 5a)

Here is the awnser:
= x^7 + 5ax^3

But when I enter the question as x^3*(x^4+5a) I just get the question refrased as x^3(x^4 + 5a) and not the awnser.

So how do I get it to give me the awnser to the question?

x^3(x^4 + 5a) is not a question, but rather just a mathematical expression! If you want the CAS to simplify the expression, use the simplify() function like this:

simplify(x^3*(x^4 + 5a))

Notice that this feature is only available in PocketCAS pro.
