I cannot seem to reproduce the issue, but I recently had the symbolic solver return something like (10x^5)(y^3)(xy) for (5x^3)(y^2)(2x^2)(y^2). In other words, it was simplified but not _completely_ simplified. Is there a reason it would do that?
Thanks

Solved! Go to Solution.

Hard to say without a worksheet. My best guess is, that on one occasion you forgot to type a multiplication sign between x and y in the expression to be modified and so you used a new, third variable xy.
