Homework Statement
x^3/2(x+x5/2-x2)
Homework Equations
I don't know how to simplify this problem.
I don't know any process either.
The title of the topic is, "simplify problem". As just said, "carry out the multiplication." and then apply rules of exponents. The result should be in simplified form.Mark44 said:Maybe all you need to do is carry out the multiplication. Since you haven't supplied the exact problem statement, it's hard to know exactly what is called for here.
The problem is asking you to simplify the expression x^3/2(x+x5/2-x2).
To simplify this expression, you can use the exponent rule (x^a * x^b = x^(a+b)) and the distributive property (a(b+c) = ab + ac).
The first step is to distribute the exponent of 3/2 to each term inside the parentheses, which gives us x^(3/2) * (x + x^(5/2) - x^2).
Yes, you can combine like terms in this expression. In this case, there are no like terms to combine, so the expression remains the same.
Yes, this expression is fully simplified. It cannot be further simplified using exponent or algebraic properties.
