\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "You could do the following:
\n" ); document.write( "= -y^3(y+3)+p^2
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "OR you could do the following:
\n" ); document.write( "-(y^4-p^2)-9y^3
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "= -[(y^2-p)(y^2+p)]-9y^3
