AI Thread Summary
To solve the expression (8sq*7x)-2(3+4x), it is important to clarify that "8sq" means 8 squared, or 8^2, which equals 64. The correct expansion of the expression is 64*7x - 2(3 + 4x), leading to 448x - 6 - 8x. Simplifying this gives 440x - 6. The initial confusion regarding the operations and terms indicates a need for careful attention to the order of operations and proper notation.

I was wondering if i had a question like (2squared+3) would i go 2*2+3= 7

If i had (8sq*7x)-2(3+4x)

how do i expand and simply also work out i don't understand how to work this out and what i need to do fisrt ?

would i go 8*8 = 64 +7 = 71 -2 =69 +3+4 =75sq x ? or is this wrong

Is it 2^2+3? If so, the answer is indeed 7.

If i had (8sq*7x)-2(3+4x)

I don't understand. What are you trying to work out? If you want to simplify, it's:

8^2*7x - 2(3+4x)
=448x-6-8x
=440x-6
 
8^2*7x - 2(3+4x)
=448x-6-8x
=440x-6

So that is how i simplify

how did you get 6-8 from the eqaution ?

What you wrote was 8sq 7 x which appears to mean 8^2 times 7. Did you mean to write 8^2+7x? If so then it is 64+ 7x not (8^2+ 7)x which would be 81x.
 
I picked up this problem from the Schaum's series book titled "College Mathematics" by Ayres/Schmidt. It is a solved problem in the book. But what surprised me was that the solution to this problem was given in one line without any explanation. I could, therefore, not understand how the given one-line solution was reached. The one-line solution in the book says: The equation is ##x \cos{\omega} +y \sin{\omega} - 5 = 0##, ##\omega## being the parameter. From my side, the only thing I could...
Essentially I just have this problem that I'm stuck on, on a sheet about complex numbers: Show that, for ##|r|<1,## $$1+r\cos(x)+r^2\cos(2x)+r^3\cos(3x)...=\frac{1-r\cos(x)}{1-2r\cos(x)+r^2}$$ My first thought was to express it as a geometric series, where the real part of the sum of the series would be the series you see above: $$1+re^{ix}+r^2e^{2ix}+r^3e^{3ix}...$$ The sum of this series is just: $$\frac{(re^{ix})^n-1}{re^{ix} - 1}$$ I'm having some trouble trying to figure out what to...
