In Matlab, polynomials are represented by a vector of coefficients. For example, the polynomial p=a*x^2 + b*x + c is represented by the vector p=[a, b, c].
In this problem, you will be given a polynomial p and a power N. We would like you to return the vector q that represents the polynominal p^N, the Nth power of p. If p = (x + 1), for instance, you will be returning the coefficients of (x+1)^N. (N will be a positive integer greater than 0.)

Thought of another way to do this...
q=poly(kron(roots(p),ones(N,1)));
One-liner with size 21, but fails because of trivial roundoff error :(
This isnt a particularly difficult problem
you can call this function powerpoly
function ppower = powerpoly(p,n)
ppower = p;
i = 1
while i < n
ppower = conv(ppower,p);
i = i + 1;
end
