Asimov Pupil Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 This is my first assignment of my first math class or my first year of univercity and they said i should have learned this in grade 11, (too long ago to recall really) so i want to make sure i got them right (which i doubt!) here's how it is, i will give the question and my answer and if i am wrong please tell me. 1) [math]\frac{5x^4}{\sqrt{x^3-6}}+x\sqrt{x^3-6}[/math] solution: [math]\frac{6x^4-6x}{\sqrt{x^3-6}}[/math] 2) [math]\frac{\frac{x^2-x-6}{4x-12}}{\frac{2x+6}{x^2+5x+6}}[/math] solution: [math]\frac{(x+2)^2}{8}[/math]
Klaynos Posted September 14, 2005 Posted September 14, 2005 your answer appears to be correct. ||edit well the first one is
DQW Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 ...except that you haven't stated what the question asks for. You have merely provided an expression and asked for an answer. Yes, it's obvious that you are required to simplify the provided expression, but unless you state this explicitly, the question does not exist. Henceforth, please state the question in its entirety.
OnlyThorns Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 the 1st one is correct... and i believe the 2nd is also correct.
starbug1 Posted September 15, 2005 Posted September 15, 2005 I came up with what you did. Not sure if they can be simplified any more though.
Asimov Pupil Posted September 15, 2005 Author Posted September 15, 2005 sry for not specifying, it says just simplify, the first one can have more operations done to it but it cannot cancel anything else so there is no point. thank you
