Simplify: x^3/2 (x+ x^5/2 + x^2)
G Guest Guest Aug 29, 2005 #2 Simplify: x^3/2 (x+ x^5/2 + x^2) understanding what fractions in powers mean....... x^3/2 is the square root of x^3 x by itself is also x^1 or x^2/2 etc now just expand the brackets, but when x to a power is mulitplied you have to add the powers. .... x^3/2 . x = x^3/2 . x^2/2 =x^5/2 do this for each and you should be ok. post if you need more help
