(x^2-1)^3=(x^2-1)(x^2-1)(x^2-1)(x21)3=(x21)(x21)(x21)

(x^2-1)(x^2-1)=x^4-2x^2+1(x21)(x21)=x42x2+1

(x^4-2x^2+1)(x^2-1)=x^6-2x^4+x^2-x^4+2x^2-1(x42x2+1)(x21)=x62x4+x2x4+2x21

=x^6-3x^4+3x^2-1=x63x4+3x21

[(x^2-1)^3(2x+1)]=(x^6-3x^4+3x^2-1)(2x+1)[(x21)3(2x+1)]=(x63x4+3x21)(2x+1)

=2x^7-6x^5+6x^3-2x+x^6-3x^4+3x^2-12x76x5+6x32x+x63x4+3x21

=2x^7+x^6-6x^5-3x^4+6x^3+3x^2-2x-12x7+x66x53x4+6x3+3x22x1
