i feel like im having a blonde moment so can someone help me out lol i will medal
lol who are you calling blonde?
\[x ^{3}+3x ^{2}y+4xy ^{2}+y ^{3}+xy ^{2}+x ^{2}y+3xy ^{2}\] okay for some reason i forget when you put the like terms together like im getting mixed up with a couple of things
like terms would mean same variable with same exponents
for example \(x^3\) has no other like terms there
neither does \(y^3\) but \(3x^2y\) and \(x^2y\) ARE like terms
This is what i was thinking for the answer, but the terms \[x ^{3}+4x ^{2}y+3xy ^{2}+y ^{3}\]
okay the 3xysquared is supposed to b a four
no i don't think sow
so
x3 + 4x2y + 8xy2 + y3
not that either
srry x^3 + 4x^2y + 8xy^2 + y^3
\[x ^{3}+3x ^{2}y+4xy ^{2}+y ^{3}+xy ^{2}+x ^{2}y+3xy ^{2}\] \[x^3+3x^2y+x^2y+4xy^2+xy^2+3xy^2+y^3\] has them grouped together
i know the like terms are \[(3x ^{2}y, x2y) (xy ^{2},3xy2)\]
the 2 r both exponents i guess i didnt type it in properly
when you add them up it is \[x^3+4x^2y+8xy^2+y^3\]
wait so where did the 8 come from
wait i think i know what happened i think i typed the problem in wrong wow im having a very off day lol
\[4xy^2+xy^2+3xy^2\\ 4+1+3=8\]
ok i have an idea, start with the original question
because i bet we started in the middle right?
this is the question i think what happened was i made a dyslexic error lol \[x ^{3}+3x ^{2}y+xy ^{2}+x ^{2}y+3xy ^{2}+y ^{3} \]
ok now it is real easy
\[x^3+4x^2y+4xy^2+y^3\] was that the original problem?
okay so i was right lol thanks
