Depends how advanced you're talking about.

Post your question.

Algebra isn't exactly considered Advanced Mathematics.

i got some huge factoring problems, that not the "isolate x on one side" type of shit.


the one that is kicking my ass is

4x - 1 - x + 3
_______ _______

2x + 5 - 3 6x + x - 2
( both 2x and 6x, the x's are squared )

Now i've gotten them down to

11x + 14x - 18
__________________

(2x - 1) (x +3) (3x + 2)

( the x in 11x is squared )

But 11x + 14 - 18 doesn't seem factorable.. or I haven't found it yet so i'm assuming i keep goofing somewhere.

hence the *advanced algebra* not advanced mathematics

and for some reason, the forum isn't letting it space out like it should

4x - 1 - x + 3

thats a 4x - 1 on one side, subtracted from a positive x +
_______ _______

2x + 5x - 3 6x + x - 2
same thing here 2x + 5 - 3 subtracted from 6x + x - 2

ha, I was expecting some abstract algebra or lie algebra stuff. Post that in a format that a normal human could read and I might help you.

FYI proper notation for a power is a carat (^) 2^2 = 4

4x - 1 over 2x + 5x - 3
x + 3 over 6x + x -2 on the other side

this is subtraction, not addition

the x in 2x is squared as well as the x in 6x

if you can't understand that i'll try and find a way to get it to space out like it should have

ok so 2x^ + 5 - 3 and 6x^ + x - 2

4x - 1 x + 3

_____________ _ _______________

2x^ + 5x - 3 6x^ + x - 2

forum won't let it space out but x + 3 on one side along with 6x bla bla on the other side

no, if im reading what you wrote right it should look like x^2 + 5 - 3 and x^6 + x - 2 (x squared plus five minus three and x to the 6th plus x minus two)

btw in the first equation can't you simplify it to x^2 + 2?

what'd you do with the 5? I don't see it canceling out to anything


oh i see, i left the x off the 5 in the first post.. fixed

um 5 minus 3 = 2

if your equation is x^2 + 5 - 3 you can simplify it to x^2 + 2. However if your equation is supposed to read (x^2 + 5) - 3 you can't

Why not? Sure you can. Do you mean ((x+5)^2)-3, cause then you cant combine the 5 and -3. But (x^2 + 5)-3 does equal x^2 + 2.

edit- oh I see, its 5x. So whats the question? Or did you get it answered?

factor it, what can you get it down to.

there is nothing in parenthesis

Ok, so I think this is what you have...

(4x-1)(x+3)/((2x^2+5x-3)(6x^2+x-2))

right?

And you are supposed to simplify? You need to factor the denominators and cancel like terms. Can you factor the denominators?

Nothing in parenthesis?

Well if you have the fraction I posted above, it factors into ((2x-1)^2)(x+3)(3x+2). The (x+3) cancels with the one in the numerator.

seems like your on the right track but can u put that where I can see whats in the numerator and dominator so i can check it..


ie. numerator
