Question

Find a simple expression for the term:

Answer 1

\[p^6-p^5q+p^4q^2 -p^3q^3+p^2q^4-pq^5+q^6\]

Answer 2

I would suggest pulling factors (starting with the middle)

Answer 3

after some factoring and simplifying; you should find:
\[2p^6-p^5+p^4q^{3-p^3}-pq^5+q^6-q\]

Answer 4

sorry, I don't quite get it, could you explain a bit more?? :P

Answer 5

looks like the binomial expansion missing the binomial coefficients
