.
For example, this polynomial (binomial)  p(x) = 3x - 5^2.

Hey, if you want to write   ,  write   (5^2)/3   in your post.

If you want to write   ,  write   5^(2/3)   in your post.


In other words, use PARENTHESES systematically and properly to make your formulas unambiguous when you post them to this forum.


It is THE RULE and IMPERATIVE REQUIREMENT in this forum.


If you neglect it, your formulas ALWAYS will be ambiguous and unreadable.

If you really mean that a root is , then tutor ikleyn's answer is right.


, or
which would give you the polynomial


My guess is that you really wanted a root to be





which would give you the polynomial
