I have known it now - good!

I need a little rest, so I will see you later. Sorry but I am exhausted.

#152 Re: Help Me ! » Simplify the following: » 2014-09-19 01:54:40

You mean these, 3^(n+2) 3^(n+2) 3^(n+2)

#153 Re: Help Me ! » Simplify the following: » 2014-09-18 22:11:54

Please have you tried multiplying 9^(n+2) 3^(n+2) back to get 27^(n+2)? And was it possible for you?

#154 Re: Help Me ! » Simplify the following: » 2014-09-18 10:01:13

Is 27^(n+2) the same as 9^(n+2)  3^(n+2)?, If so I tried multiplying the latter expression back, but didn't get the former.

Please help with these.
Thank you

#155 Re: Help Me ! » Simplify the following: » 2014-09-18 09:47:54

I see the difference now!

Thank you!

#156 Re: Help Me ! » Simplify the following: » 2014-09-18 08:46:09

I was thinking they're the same, because according to the laws of exponents (ab)^2 is the same as (a^2^b2)
Is evident that the square(2) is multiplied to the variables. What do you say?

#157 Re: Help Me ! » Simplify the following: » 2014-09-18 05:23:21

Yes,  that is it!

And are they the same expression?

#158 Re: Help Me ! » Simplify the following: » 2014-09-18 01:46:44

Regarding #1 the 'x' minus 'm' are all on one plateform,  and the 'g' minus 'f' are the denominator

With respect to #2 the 'x' is squared and the 'm' is also squared a minus sign is in between,  and  are on one plateform which is over 'g' squared minus 'f' squared.

And my question is, are both #1 and #2 the same expression?

#159 Re: Help Me ! » Simplify the following: » 2014-09-17 05:03:13

Thank you Bobbym!

Please these are confusing me;

(1)(x - m/g - f)^2
are the above the same as;

(2)x^2 - m^2/g^2- f^2

Please, confirm

Have an example?

The examples are not in the book I am using currently, but I will search for that particular book and then show you those examples.
Thanks Anonym

Why do you not want to move it?

Co's I have solved similar  problems which I did not move any to RHS and then went on to solve the exponents after I have gotten rid of the bases

#162 Re: Help Me ! » Simplify the following: » 2014-09-16 02:20:40

Quadratic idea? I see.
See what I mean;

3^2x+4 - 3^x+2 = 0

When you were solving you moved 3^x+2 to the RHS, and I am saying,  in case you did not want to move 3^x+2 to the RHS how would you have equated the exponents?

#163 Re: Help Me ! » Simplify the following: » 2014-09-16 02:08:02

Couldn't you have removed the 3's without moving 3^x+2 to the RHS?

#164 Re: Help Me ! » Simplify the following: » 2014-09-16 01:15:49

3x^2x+4 - 3x ^x+2 = 0
With this,  how would you have solved it if you don't want to move 3x^x+2 to the RHS?

#165 Re: Help Me ! » Simplify the following: » 2014-09-15 18:59:06

I am not well versed in equating exponents, just trial and error;

2x + 4 + x + 2 = 0
3x + 6 = 0
3x = - 6
x = - 2 correct?

#166 Re: Help Me ! » Simplify the following: » 2014-09-14 19:09:34

Are you implying the exponents shouldn't be equated?

#167 Re: Help Me ! » Simplify the following: » 2014-09-14 10:21:35

Can you take the next step?

[Sorry - I was called away]

equating exponents

2x + 4 - x + 2 = 0
x + 6 = 0
x = - 6  correct?

#168 Re: Help Me ! » Simplify the following: » 2014-09-14 04:47:33

So it meaes you multiplied 3^(x+1) by (3^(3+x) - 3)?

#170 Re: Help Me ! » Simplify the following: » 2014-09-14 04:30:34

Please how did you multiplied the -3 with the rest?

#172 Re: Help Me ! » Simplify the following: » 2014-09-14 04:00:45

I wish you deal with the one at #510 for me

Thank you

#174 Re: Help Me ! » Simplify the following: » 2014-09-14 03:34:54

I am thinking others might say they not the same if it does not involve plugging in, because just -x+7 and 7-x are different answers - what do you say?

#175 Re: Help Me ! » Simplify the following: » 2014-09-14 03:25:38

See this
7-x plugging 5 will be 7-5 = 2

And mine -x+7, plugging in 5 will be -5+7 = 2

I think both give the same answer 2
