How do I get mathematica to multiply out a bunch of polynomials? Like (1-x)(34+x)(32-x). When I hit return it simply gives me what I wrote.

SUMMARY
The discussion focuses on multiplying polynomials using Mathematica, specifically the expression (1-x)(34+x)(32-x). Users encountered issues with Mathematica returning the original expression instead of the expanded form. The correct method to achieve the desired result is to use the Expand function, specifically Expand[(1 - x)(34 + x)(32 - x)], which successfully multiplies and simplifies the polynomial expression.
