I am trying to use the Factor function and it is not working. When entering f2, 2 for factor(, (x-5)^2,x) I should get x^2-10x+25, instead I get the result (5,)^2.... Why? There must be something in the mode that is set wrong, but I am not sure what..Your thoughts...
I think what you want to do is not to factor but to expand, which is the option right under factor [F2, 3]. expand((x-5)^2) = x^2-10x+25
