i dont see a quotient
OpenStudy (unknown):
it's divided by
myininaya (myininaya):
are you doing (2x^3-x^2-3x)/(x^2+x)
OpenStudy (unknown):
never mind that one.. how about this
Which answer is equal to the difference in the expression below?
(2x3 - 6x2 + 2x - 2) - (-2x3 - 3x2 + 3x + 3)
A.4x3 - 3x2 + x - 5
B.4x3 - 3x2 - 5
C.4x3 + 9x2 + x - 5
D.4x3 - 3x2 - x - 5
myininaya (myininaya):
\[\frac{2x^3-x^2-3x}{x^2+x}\]

is this what you meant?
myininaya (myininaya):
you don't want to do this one?
myininaya (myininaya):
ok for this next one distribute you the negative in front of the parenthesis and then put like terms together
OpenStudy (unknown):
no i justed guessed on it, this was my next one. but i forgot how to set up subtraction
myininaya (myininaya):
if you have
(2y-3x)-(-5y+7x)
=2y-3x-(-5y)+(-7x)
=2y-3x+5y-7x
=2y+5y-3x-7x
=7y-10x
see i distribute the negative 1 to each term in the second paranthese
then i grouped my like terms together
let me see you try and i can correct where you went wrong

where are the ys coming from?
OpenStudy (unknown):
i have (2x^3-6x^2+2x-2)+(2x^3-3x^2+3x+3)
myininaya (myininaya):
that was an example
OpenStudy (unknown):
oh haa
myininaya (myininaya):
see that i got rid the grouping symbols after distributing the negative 1
you have (2x3 - 6x2 + 2x - 2) - (-2x3 - 3x2 + 3x + 3)
=2x^3-6x^2+2x-2+2x^3+3x^2-3x-3

not put your like terms togther
myininaya (myininaya):
now*
OpenStudy (unknown):
okay, now next step?
OpenStudy (unknown):
ohh alright.. so that's... my two 2x^3
OpenStudy (unknown):
do i add them and get 4x^3?

ok!
what about your x^2's?
OpenStudy (unknown):
well -6x^2+3x^2
myininaya (myininaya):
right
myininaya (myininaya):
-6+3=-3
so
-6x^2+3x^2=
OpenStudy (unknown):
-3x^2?

:)
ok
x's?
OpenStudy (unknown):
-x?
myininaya (myininaya):
:)
and finally the constants?
OpenStudy (unknown):
+1?
myininaya (myininaya):
-2-3 is not 1
2+3=5
so -(2+3)=-(5)=-5
-(2+3)=-2+(-3)=-2-3=-5
