Question

PLZ HELP, WILL FAN AND MEDAL!!!!!
4x^2(x)+(x)(x)^2

Answer 1

\[4x^2(x)+(x)+(x)^2\]

does this look correct?

Answer 2

First we will simplify.

Answer 3

When you simplify you get 4x^3 + x^3. Now we combine like term's which gives you what?

Answer 4

?

Answer 5

waite, how u get 4x^3+x^3?????

Answer 6

@DivineSolar

Answer 7

Well your problem is written as 4x^2 + (x) + (x)(x)^2

Answer 8

Unless it is supposed to be, 4x^2 + (x) + (x) + (x)^2

Answer 9

no, is the other way but im having trouble understanding the simplofing part

Answer 10

Wait i meant 4x^2(x) + (x)(x)^2 is that correct to start out with?

Answer 11

yeah thats fine

Answer 12

Ok so basically, we have -> 4x^2(x), Let us just look at that what happens when you combine x from 4x^2 x with (x)?

Answer 13

umm.. u get x^2...??

Answer 14

See it is already x^2 so it would become x^3

Answer 15

ok, so ur combing the x behind the 2 to the 4x^2........

Answer 16

You are combining the 4x^2's x with (x) which creates x^3, So you get 4x^3

Answer 17

okay...so then u would have left 4x^3+(x)(x)^2

Answer 18

Yes you would have 4x^3+(x)(x)^2 left, So now let us look at (x)(x)^2, what do you get when you combine the 2?

Answer 19

2x^2.......??

Answer 20

No. Where did you get the 2 from? There is no number behind the variable unless there already was one behind it.

Answer 21

Let's try that again, what do you get when you combine (x)(x)^2?

Answer 22

?

Answer 23

lol, ok.....yeah i got nothing.....i mean the two x are multiplying each other, right?

Answer 24

No you are combining not multiplying.

Answer 25

x combined with an x would = x^2, but in this case we already have x^2 and we are combining it with (x)

Answer 26

so, x^3

Answer 27

Yes there you go.

Answer 28

So now we have 4x^3 + x^3

Answer 29

Combine like terms and what do you get?

Answer 30

so 5x^3 bc the like terms are x^3

Answer 31

Yes there you go!

Answer 32

OMG!!!!!! THANK YOU A MILLION!!!!!

Answer 33

Sure thing.
