Sure.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i need to combine like terms with
3a*9a^2+3a*6a+3a*3+3*9a^2+3*6a+3*3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i know the first one is 27a^3
geerky42 (geerky42):
What about second one? (3a*6a)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
18a?

^2?
geerky42 (geerky42):
a·a = a² so 3a·6a = 3·6·a·a = 18a²
Yes. 18a²
geerky42 (geerky42):
What don't you understand? I think you can handle it.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thats where i get stuck. 27a^3+18A^2+ ?? 9A? +3????? AHHHH
geerky42 (geerky42):
Next one. 3a*3
What is it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):
27a^2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
?
geerky42 (geerky42):
Yes. 3*6a = ?

18a?
geerky42 (geerky42):
Yes! Last one. 3*3 = ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
9!
geerky42 (geerky42):
Excellent! Now you go from
3a*9a² + 3a*6a + 3a*3 + 3*9a² + 3*6a + 3*3
To
27a³ + 18a² + 9a + 27a² + 18a + 9.
Now it is cleaner. Now all you have to do is combining like terms. Do you know what to do?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
...not really lets keep it going i get it so far

geerky42 (geerky42):
Which term has a²? What about a?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is this right? 27a^3+45a^2+27a+9 ???
geerky42 (geerky42):
18a² and 27a² both share a². These terms are called like terms. 9a and 18a are like terms. You can combine them together by add 'coefficient' (18 and 27). Is this clear?
Yes it's 27a³ + 45a² + 27a + 9.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
So i did it RIGHTTT!?
geerky42 (geerky42):
Yeah.

Does this make sense now?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
it told me i got it wrong.. =(
OpenStudy (anonymous):
apparently the correct answer was 27a^3+81a^2+81a+27
geerky42 (geerky42):
Are you sure you didn't typo?
3a*9a² + 3a*6a + 3a*3 + 3*9a² + 3*6a + 3*3
