Question 131443: Hello, I hope you can help! I've been working a problem for 2 hours, and my text book isn't helping me with making sense of how to break it down and solve it. I do have a teacher's edition, so I have the answer, but I need to know how to get to the answer.
(2y-3)^
The answer is 8y^3-36y^2+54y-27
If possible, I would like a step-by-step instruction of how to work this problem, as well as an explanation of what is happening each step.
I hope it is not too much trouble! Thank you for your time!
