Answer 3

So can the answer itself be simplified more, that is my question
you guys gave me answer c^5-3c^4+8c^3+10c^2+3c-12
and if not do I need to put it in parenthesis (c^5-3c^4)+(8c^3+10c^2)+(3c-12)

Answer 4

that doesnt simplify the equation; it just marks if up

Answer 5

to simplify would be to reduce it to its basic form; and there aint nothing that will reduce this any further. It is as basic as it can get

Answer 6
