i used the original expansion of (3-2x)^6 than subbed in 0.0001 when i saw an x

bold vortex
#

,w 6 × 3⁵ × 2x

#

Okay, looks alright

vital vale
#

nice

vital vale
#

,w 2916 × 0.0001

vital vale
#

729 + 0.2916

#

would be the 2 terms

bold vortex
#

Just get the answer

vital vale
#

729 - 0.2916

bold vortex
