Multiplying the expression times itself 5 times is inefficient. Use the binomial theorem.

(2x^3+1)^5
= C(5,5)*(2x^3)^5*(1)^0
+ C(5,4)*(2x^3)^4*(1)^1
+ C(5,3)*(2x^3)^3*(1)^2
+ C(5,2)*(2x^3)^2*(1)^3
+ C(5,1)*(2x^3)^1*(1)^4)
+ C(5,0)*(2x^3)^0*(1)^5

= 1(2x^3)^5 + 5(2x^3)^4 + 10(2x^3)^3 + 10(2x^3)^2 + 5(2x^3)^1 + 1(2x^3)^0

= 32x^15 + 5*16x^12 + 10*8x^9 + 10*4x^6 + 5*2x^3 + 1

= 32x^15 + 80x^12 + 80x^9 + 40x^6 + 10x^3 + 1
