solve what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ [2(-1+h)^2 +4(-1+h)]+2 }{ h }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

goodness. Give a minute...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Expand the square out, then factorize h out, then simplify!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would the square be factored out to (-1+2h+h^2) ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

NO, h² - 2h + 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh you start with the variables the the digits ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh alright

OpenStudy (anonymous):

( h -1)² = h² - 2h + 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then i get this and it looks wrong o.O \[-2-4h+2h^2-4+4h-2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

= 2 (h² - 2h + 1) = 2h² - 4h + 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but arent all the values that dont contain h cancel out at this point ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

( 2h² - 4h + 2) + ( 4h -4 ) + 2 = ...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2h^2-8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

= 2h² / h = 2h

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i get -8 too though ? :S

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have -2-4-2 :S

OpenStudy (anonymous):

( 2h² - 4h + 2) + ( 4h -4 ) + 2 = ..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

( a - b)² = a² - 2ab + b² ( h -1)² = h² - 2h + 1
