what's h times hx?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

h^2x

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

h times hx is \[\Large h*hx = h^2x\] This is assuming that hx is made of two separate variables (h and x).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[ h^{2}x\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i thought it was hx^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no wait i meant x times xh

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

\[\Large x*xh = x^2h\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can u help me, how would one factor a cubed for example (x+h)^3?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

you mean expand?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(a+b)^3 = a^3 + b^3 + 3ab(a+b)

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

\[\Large (x+h)^3\] \[\Large (x+h)(x+h)(x+h)\] \[\Large (x^2+2xh+h^2)(x+h)\] \[\Large (x+h)(x^2+2xh+h^2)\] \[\Large x(x^2+2xh+h^2)+h(x^2+2xh+h^2)\] \[\Large x^3+2x^2h+xh^2+hx^2+2xh^2+h^3\] So \[\Large (x+h)^3 = x^3+2x^2h+xh^2+hx^2+2xh^2+h^3\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you both for the help!
