| Type | Polynomial Expansion and Simplification |
| Difficulty | Easy -1.2 This is a straightforward algebraic expansion requiring binomial expansion of a cube and collection of like terms. It's a routine C1 exercise testing basic algebraic manipulation with no problem-solving element, making it easier than average but not trivial since students must carefully handle the cubic expansion. |
