\n" ); document.write( "To get a constant term, you need to take the term with x^3 4 times and the term with (1/x^2) 6 times:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x%5E3%29%5E4%2A%281%2Fx%5E2%29%5E6+=+%28x%5E12%29%2A%281%2Fx%5E12%29\"$ which is a constant.

\n" ); document.write( "Taking the (2x^3) term 4 times out of 10 and the (-1/x^2) term 6 times gives you a coefficient (and therefore a constant term) of
