Question

simplify:

[[pe^t]^2 . kp(1-p)e^t] - [2[pe^t]^2 . kp(1-p)e^t]

Answer 1

Is this a multiplication problem? I see the . and wonder if it's * .

I think the problem is:

[[pe^t]^2] [ kp(1-p)e^t] - [2[pe^t]^2] [ kp(1-p)e^t]. Is that correct?

Answer 2

yes sorry thats why i put a dot to signify *

Answer 3

have u got an idea how to simplify this?

Answer 4

Yes, but the problem is dense, and I'm trying to sort the variables and exponents so that I can see what to multiply and what to add.

Answer 5
