Last question, need help on it badly! In comments! @GoldPhenoix

OpenStudy (andriod09):

\[xy(x^2 + y^2)\] I need to simplify.

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

So you remember how to do the distributive property?

OpenStudy (andriod09):

Yes, i keep getting either \[2x^2y+2xy^2\] and \[x^3y+xy^3\] but their both wrong.

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

Let's do it step-by-step. What is xy * x^2?

OpenStudy (andriod09):

wouldn't it be: \[x^3y\]

OpenStudy (goldphenoix):

Wait. x^3y+ xy^3 is correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hey try algebra formula a^2+b^2=(a+b)^2-2ab

OpenStudy (uri):

xy (x^2+y^2) Multiply them with xy x^3y+xy^3 Then take the common x(x^2y +y^3) and y (x^3 +xy^2)
