• A) \(w ^ { 6 } - 6 w ^ { 5 } s + 15 w ^ { 4 } s ^ { 2 } - 20 w ^ { 3 } s ^ { 3 } + 15 w ^ { 2 } s ^ { 4 } - 6 w s ^ { 5 } + s ^ { 6 }\)
• B) \(w ^ { 6 } - 8 w ^ { 5 } s + 17 w ^ { 4 } s ^ { 2 } - 22 w ^ { 3 } s ^ { 3 } + 17 w ^ { 2 } s ^ { 4 } - 8 w s ^ { 5 } + s ^ { 6 }\)
• C) \(w ^ { 6 } - s ^ { 6 }\)
• D) \(w ^ { 6 } - 6 w ^ { 5 } s - 30 w ^ { 4 } s ^ { 2 } + 120 w ^ { 3 } s ^ { 3 } + 360 w ^ { 2 } s ^ { 4 } - 720 w s ^ { 5 } - 720 s ^ { 6 }\)
