Expand( <Expression> ): Expands the expression.; Example: Expand((2 x - 1)^2 + 2 x + 3) yields 4 x^2 - 2 x + 4.

Note: This command needs to load the Computer Algebra System, so can be slow on some computers. Try using the Polynomial Command instead.

Expand( <Expression> ): Expands the expression.; Example: Expand((2 x - 1)^2 + 2 x + 3) yields 4 x^2 - 2 x + 4.
