2πr^2 * 2πr + 2r
Just started pre calc... this is the first problem in the book and I have no idea :( ... Not looking for just an answer.. it looks so easy yet I have no idea
Isn't there some kind of question asked about it in the book? Or a certain calculation?
Exactly what do you need to do?
It would help if we had the chapter this was under.
well all it says is to simply each expression. Its for Functions Modeling Change - A preparation for Calculus. Chapter 1 problem 3. Its an algebra problem and this is simply a skill refresher so no explanation..
YOu could try to do the multiplication and then factor out the common factors.
Ok, so I here we go, multiplication leads me to 4πr^2 + 2πr^2 so 6πr^4
6πr^4 ?... does that sound anywhere near
No, because \[2πr^2 * 2πr + 2r=4\pi^2r^3+2r\]
omg I messed uo
2πr^2 + 2πr * 2r
Thats the actual problem... Sorry
Now you've got two not-alike terms:\[4\pi^2r^3\]and\[2r\] So you *cannot* add them! You can, however, write the whole thing as a product, by factoring out the common factors:\[4\pi^2r^3=2r \cdot 2\pi^2r^2\] \[2r= 2r \cdot 1\]So 2r is a common factor. You can write it as follows now:\[4\pi^2r^3+2r=2r \cdot2\pi^2r^2+2r \cdot 1=2r(2\pi^2r^2+1)\]
ok ok, I think I got it. So \[2\pi r ^{2} \times 2\pi r + 2r\] we start with multiplication. So I get \[4\pi ^{2} * r ^{3} + 2r\] I would say that about as good as its going to get or it needs to be ? The rest of it sort of confuses me but thats considered simplified correct? The correct problem... which I messed up on, is actually \[2\pi r ^{2} + 2\pi r * 2r\] This one would be: multiplication on the left side of the equation first so: \[4\pi r^{2} \] \[2\pi r^{2} +4\pi r^{2} \] That would give me \[6\pi r^{2} \]
Then I have another one... being \[\frac{12 \pi - 2\pi }{ 6 \pi }\] I would say, \[\frac{2 \pi (6 - 1) }{ 6 \pi }\] Then \[\frac{5 }{ 3 \pi }\] OR \[\frac{5 \pi }{ 3 \pi }\] Not sure which one would be correct?
In the numerator, you have 10π, so after dividing by 6π, you have 10/6 = 5/3
wow... well that was a dumb one, I over complicate this stuff :/ ... thank you!
yw!
this is weird... c + 1/2c = 2/3c according to the back of the book... but Isnt it c + 1/2c = 1c + 1/2c = 1 1/2 c
Are you sure it doesn't say 3/2 c?
Positive! ... my teacher complains about how this book is the worst book he's ever used... so that should explain that.
