You can put this solution on YOUR website!
%283cd%5E2%29%5E2%28-2c%5E%283d%29%29%5E3;
take the 2 on the outer most side of (3cd^2)^2<------(this) and take EACH of the terms to that power;
i.e. Here is the list of terms in this (3cd^2)^2
3
c
d^2
Take 3^2, c^2, and (d^2)^2;
to get:
9c%5E2d%5E4
Do the same thing above with %28-2c%5E3d%29%5E3

And I'll leave that to you, e-mail me for any troubles!
Thanks!
