Question

Can this be solved?:
(x^2 - Radical x)(2x- Radical x)

so far I have 2x^3..

Answer 1

yes...

(x^2 - sqrt(x)) (2x - sqrt(x))

x^2(2x) - x^2(sqrt(x)) - sqrt(x)(2x) + sqrt(x)sqrt(x)

2x^3 -x^2sqrt(x) - 2x sqrt(x) + x

Now, what does it mean to be solved??

Answer 2

I meant to be put into a simplified form such as what you wrote.
Would this be considered the same answer?:
2x^3 - (x^2 + 2x) Radical x + x

Answer 3

hmm......

the easiest thing to do is to redistribute that rad(x) back in....

2x^3 -x^2 rad(x) -2x rad(x) + x

So yes....

Answer 4

Awesome. thank you so much!
