usually, that symbol means similar to. but in this case it may represent something different. you may want to go to the person who solved the problems about me page and e-mail them and ask them.
Mathdoc314: I bet ~ means ^
(7t-5)(t^2+1)
Check: 7t^3 + 7t - 5t^2 - 5 does match the question that was submitted.
Note: Use the formula notation
{ { { (7t - 5) (t^2 + 1) } } }
without the spaces
+%287t+-+5%29+%28t%5E2+%2B+1%29+
I don't understand why I can edit someone else's answer. I'm not sure I'd want someone else to edit mine. Sorry if I stepped on someone's toes.
