Write a Java expression for the following: ax^5 + bx^3 + c

a * Math.pow(x, 5) + b * Math.pow(x, 3) + c

Math.pow(base, exponent) handles each power. Note that Java has no ^ operator for exponentiation — ^ is the bitwise XOR operator, so writing x^5 would compile but compute something entirely different. Every multiplication must be written explicitly: ax becomes a * Math.pow(x, 5). Java has no implied multiplication as algebra does, and a missing * is the commonest error in expression questions. Math.pow() returns a double, so the whole expression is a double.
