Mathematics help
« on: November 03, 2013, 04:30:08 pm »

Oh god i'm in way above my head with this one. I need to form it back into a standard equation, but my attempts resulted in gigantic numbers that didn't match my original equation.

-0000000000003322(x-45)(x-55)(2x-160)(x-190)((x^(4/3))-200)(x-250)


The one area with all the parenthesis reads "x to the power of four thirds minus 200."

I need this, like, un-factored. The problem is how fuck-off huge the numbers get and how quickly they do so, and that one fractional power.

That is a stupidly long poly.

Should come out to something like...

(Whatever the hell that first constant is, not sure why you have it written like that or where the decimal is supposed to be)*(2x^(19/3)-1240x^(16/3)+274350x^(13/3)-26714000x^(10/3)+1169365000x^(7/3)-18810000000x^(4/3) -400x^5+248000x^4-54870000x^3 +5342800000x^2-233873000000x+3762000000000)
