MHB How Can I Simplify This Complex Mathematical Expression?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around simplifying a complex mathematical expression involving variables z and w, specifically with w set to 2. A participant requests help in simplifying the expression and calculating its value. Another user clarifies the expression and successfully simplifies it to show that the final result is w³, which equals 8 when w is 2. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding multiple methods for solving mathematical problems. The exchange concludes with a light-hearted comment about the user's ability to solve the problem despite initial confusion.

Hello,
I am having difficulty solving my math problems.

Simplify the Expression and show how.. And kalkulate

z²+w(2wz)²-(w+4z²-1)w³-(z+w²)(x-w²)

And w=2

I know we have many ways doing it, an the more ways i can study, the bether i can understand this..

Do you maybe mean:

$z^2+w(2wz)^2-(w+4z^2-1)w^3-(z+w^2)($z$-w^2)$

($z$ instead of $x$) ?? (Wondering)

If so, it is as followed:

$$z^2+w(2wz)^2-(w+4z^2-1)w^3-(z+w^2)(z-w^2) \\ =z^2+w 4 w^2 z^2-ww^3-4z^2w^3+w^3-(z^2-zw^2+zw^2-w^4) \\ =z^2+4 w^3 z^2-w^4-4z^2w^3+w^3-(z^2-w^4) \\ =z^2-w^4+w^3-z^2+w^4=w^3$$

For $w=2$ we have

$$2^3=8$$
 
You are so good.. You solved it even if i can't read and Write the right Expression... :)

I suspect that MHB is conducting secret genetic experimentation on some members to promote psychic abilities.

Seemingly by some mathematical coincidence, a hexagon of sides 2,2,7,7, 11, and 11 can be inscribed in a circle of radius 7. The other day I saw a math problem on line, which they said came from a Polish Olympiad, where you compute the length x of the 3rd side which is the same as the radius, so that the sides of length 2,x, and 11 are inscribed on the arc of a semi-circle. The law of cosines applied twice gives the answer for x of exactly 7, but the arithmetic is so complex that the...
Thread 'Video on imaginary numbers and some queries'
Hi, I was watching the following video. I found some points confusing. Could you please help me to understand the gaps? Thanks, in advance! Question 1: Around 4:22, the video says the following. So for those mathematicians, negative numbers didn't exist. You could subtract, that is find the difference between two positive quantities, but you couldn't have a negative answer or negative coefficients. Mathematicians were so averse to negative numbers that there was no single quadratic...
Thread 'Unit Circle Double Angle Derivations'
Here I made a terrible mistake of assuming this to be an equilateral triangle and set 2sinx=1 => x=pi/6. Although this did derive the double angle formulas it also led into a terrible mess trying to find all the combinations of sides. I must have been tired and just assumed 6x=180 and 2sinx=1. By that time, I was so mindset that I nearly scolded a person for even saying 90-x. I wonder if this is a case of biased observation that seeks to dis credit me like Jesus of Nazareth since in reality...
