Section 7.2 Expanding Expressions
You can ask Maple to expand any expression with the
expand() command, including products of polynomials and rational functions. Maple will also expand various logarithmic and trigonometric expressions.
Aside The multiplication operation * (or a space in 2D Math mode) is not required between numerical coefficients and variables. However, multiplication between multiple variables is required.
\begin{equation*}
\displaystyle 64\,x^6+576\,x^5y+2160\,x^4y^2+4320\,x^3y^3+4860\,x^2y^4+2916\,xy^5+729\,y^6
\end{equation*}
\begin{equation*}
\displaystyle 2\, \left( \cos \left( x \right) \right) ^{2}-1
\end{equation*}
\begin{equation*}
\displaystyle {\frac {\tan \left( a \right) +\tan \left( b \right) }{1-\tan \left( a \right) \tan \left( b \right) }}
\end{equation*}
