Math problem

[jeffeh]

x-3 x^2
---- * ----
3x x^2-9

ok so this is the problem.... When i worked it out I got 3(x+3)(x+0) is this correct?
Thanks, and if you anyone excels in math and wouldn't mind helping me out with some other question it would greatly appreciated.

Nope.

The answer is 42.

Assuming that the above problem is actually ((x-3) / (3x)) * ((x^2) / (x^2-9)) then nope, the correct answer is not 3x(x+3).

[jeffeh]

any idea what the answer would be?

 

[Saint Nick]

check sig.

 

[PhaZe]

is that a 2x2 matrix?

I'm not sure I can read your expression since it's poorly formatted, however if it is what I think it is, the answer you get is: x/(3*(x+3))

The point of getting help on your homework isn't to be supplied with the anwer, but to learn how to do it on your own. Please show us what you did to get your previous answer and we'll offer you advice on what you did wrong and how to go about solving it correctly.

i cant read it either....the answer i got is
((x^2)-3x)/((3x^2)-27)

Cant read the problem...

 

[jeffeh]

If you actually open a quote window, you can see the problem a lot easier.

But jeffeh...this is insanely easy math. How can you have this much trouble?

Everyone has to start somewhere. That's the point of learning. I remember struggling with math that I can do in my sleep now. There's no reason to put him down over it.

Answer is x/(3*(x+3))

so true. I remember when I didn't know what a derivative is.

 

[RadioHead84]

Cant read his notation correctly Is he saying x-3/3x * x^2/x^2-9

 

[kevinthenerd]

(x^2-9) on the bottom right factors by the difference of squares: (x-3)*(x+3)

Then the (x-3) cancels from the top left, leaving 1 up there and just the (x+3) on the bottom right.

x^2 and 3x cancel, leaving x on the top right and 3 on the bottom left


(open this in a quote window to see it easily)

1 x
--- * -------
3 (x+3)


giving you

x
-------
3(x+3)

 

[kevinthenerd]

Third math problem is a charm.
