I love how I wrote "just the answer and the steps" and yet no one just wrote them down.  why do you guys have to be so vague? lol

parthkohli · Answer

Why do you want us to write the whole answer with steps?

anonymous · Answer

because its easier to understand... obviously.

loser66 · Answer

we give you the steps by guiding you "factor cos out" and you have to do it.
then a formula to do after factor to replace . and you have to do it, too
the answer right after then. you didn't do anything, didn't practice anything , so, understanding for what purpose? for the sake of "understanding" , you must move your precious hands to do something.

I have like 11 assignments to figure out, in a span of 3 days. So excuse me if I'd rather actually get help than confuse myself.
