Example Question #2 : Simplifying Expressions
Simplify the expression:
Distribute the integers through the binomials.
Combine like-terms.
The answer is:
Example Question #3 : Simplifying Expressions
Simplify
.
We can start by distributing the negative sign in the parentheses term:
Now we can combine like terms. The constants go together, and the variables go together:
Example Question #3 : Simplifying Expressions
Simplify
.
First, we can distribute the negative sign through the parentheses term:
Now we gather like terms. Remember, you can't gather different variables together. The
's and 's will still be separate terms:
Example Question #4 : Simplifying Expressions
Simplify
.
Start by distributing the negative sign through the parentheses term:
Now combine like terms. Each variable can't be combined with different variables:
Example Question #5 : Simplifying Expressions
Simplify
A square root is the inverse of squaring a term, so they cancel each other out:
From there, there's nothing left to simplify.
Example Question #11 : Simplifying Expressions
Simplify
.
To begin, let's rewrite the equation so the square root is a fraction in the exponent:
From here, we can simplify the exponent:
Now we change the exponent fraction back into a square root:
Example Question #201 : Sat Subject Test In Math Ii
Simplify
.
For the first square root, each term inside has a natural solution. We can take the square root of each term individually because they are multiplied, and then combine them again:
For the second square root, we remember that the square root and a square cancel each other out, and we're left with just the term inside:
We finish by multiplying the terms together:
Example Question #202 : Sat Subject Test In Math Ii
Simplify
.
We start by distributing the
term through the parentheses:
Now we combine like terms. Remember, we can't add variables if they have different exponent terms:
Example Question #203 : Sat Subject Test In Math Ii
Simplify
.
Start by distributing the
term:
Now combine like terms. Remember, if a variable has a different exponent, you can't add them:
Example Question #204 : Sat Subject Test In Math Ii
Simplify
.
Start by distributing the
term:
Now collect like terms. Remember, you can't add or subtract variables that have different exponents:
