c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i say d

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

just look at the 'x' parts

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

the only 2 that are the same is x3

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

so its c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but it depends if it is 4x^3 or 4x3

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

x^3 is sometimes written x3 - on Openstudy it is !

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

its confusing really x^3 is the best way to write powers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but 4x3 and x3 don't match

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

check with vallejo - is that the way you write powers in your class = as x3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you are suppose to put an 1 in front of the x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if you do that then it would be A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no because A has -7x2

OpenStudy (popitree):

C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its c i promise

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its the same as 4x3 and x3

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

@vallejo - do you write x times x as x2 in your class?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so in other words

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right thank you

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

yes you are right kyrea

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know

OpenStudy (cwrw238):
