Members inkblot Posted August 4, 2010 Members Share Posted August 4, 2010 Correct. For such a simple algebraic simplification you can grab any free CAS like wxMaxima or SAGE to check for you. Wolfram Alpha would probably simplify it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YngwieReid Posted August 4, 2010 Author Members Share Posted August 4, 2010 Yea I know its rather simple but wolframalpha gave me a different answer, thats why I thought I'd toss it up here. Woframalpha said it was.. 6a^2xb^2 thanks for confirming though !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members co&cafan808 Posted August 4, 2010 Members Share Posted August 4, 2010 I also believe your answer is correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, yeah, your original answer is correct, minus the extreme headache of the MS Paint math... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sex Panther Posted August 5, 2010 Members Share Posted August 5, 2010 That was hard to read. Had a Calc final tonight, so I'll just trust thinkpad's assessment that you're correct, since he's the resident math guru. Thanks again TP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a Calc final tonight, so I'll just trust thinkpad's assessment that you're correct, since he's the resident math guru. Thanks again TP I have a DiffEQ Final on Monday I am SOOOO looking forward to Yes, the correct answer is the one with a^3 in the answer. You probably forgot some () in Wolframalpha. It is tricky to get right, and I always double check above the answer where it says "Input as...". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Curtis.Fagan Posted August 5, 2010 Members Share Posted August 5, 2010 6(a^3)(b^2)is correct. Trust this man. Not kidding, trust him on anything numbers related. -Curtis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
