No, Wolfram Alpha gives the correct answer. And I don't see anything wrong with that expression either, provided that the omission of an operator is implicitly interpreted as multiplication. This is how I was taught both at school and university. In Italy and Germany, but more than 30 years ago. Maybe things are different today.
