to answer this question, you should multiply the contents of the brackets together, so ... x^2 + 6x + 2x + 12 which can be simplified to x^2 + 8x + 12

Another good way is to take each elemnent out of the first bracket and multiply it in turn by all in the second bracket. That sounds a little complicated but if you look at what it means you will see the elements of the first bracket in front of what remains in the other bracket...

x(x + 2) +6(x + 2) now simply expand the brackets and simplify...

x^2 + 2x + 6x + 12 = x^2 + 8x +12 voila!

The grid method can be used to expand and simplify brackets. Also try FOIL, "crab's claw" and "smiley face". Don't panic if you haven't heard of those last two methods.

Differential Equations

Solve (D2-3D+2)y =x(x+4) and show that its general solution is given by y=Aex + Be2x +(x2/2) + (7x/2) + (19/4)

My work :

auxiliary eqn , m2 - 3m + 2= 0 m=1 , m=2

Reduced eqn : yn = Aex + Be2x

P.I. = 1/f(D)F(x) = (1/(D2-3D+2))(x(x+4))

P.I. = [(x2+4x) + ( (1/2)( 2- 3(2x) - 3(4) ) ) + (1/4)(92) )

P.I. = x2 + (4x/2) - (6x/4) - (5/2) + (18/4)

P.I. =(x2/2) + x + 8/4

General solution : y= Aex + Be2x + (x2/2) + x + 8/4

Could anyone point out my mistakes?

Golf Balls Equation

dimmsdale discount golf supply sells titleist golf balls for 60c each, the nike golf balls for 94c each and the Calloway golf balls for $1.10 each. A golf pro bought two dozen more titleist golf balls than calloway golf balls and three times as many nike golf balls as titleist golf balls. if the golf balls and one dollar's worth of tees cost$ 140.50, how many golf balls of each kind were bought?

Hi, I need a bit of help on how to solve the following. y = -4x + 4 y = x2 -6x - 8 I have tried to substitute equation one into equation two ( RHS must be equal) to give -4x + 4 = x2 -6x -8 I have then added all like terms to give but im then stuck and I think i have got the method wrong. Bit confused due to x2 and y = as I thought i did understand how to solve these so im now annoyed. x2 -10x -4 Any help on how to solve this would be helpful. Thanks
