#Factoring

Hopefully this makes sense. Just rewrote the √ as a power of 1/2, then you can factor, and simplify.

yep this helped alot thank you!
hm it said that it was still wrong
is there maybe another way to write the factored version:?
fast wadi
Maybe it wanted it terms of powers, like power of 0.5 or something, although it depends on what the website wants I guess
long wharf
anything wrong with this answer?
fast wadi
Hmm I got the same thing too…
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it. Possibly it just wants it factorised, and not simplified?
I’m looking at the message on the side, and maybe that’s meant to say something, but I don’t understand what it means sadly
long wharf
wat would be in the factorized form?
fast wadi
Without taking away the [x^3-(x^3+y)] although this feels kind of odd too
long wharf
hmm
i had a friend who solved a similar question and this was his answer
this was marked as correct
fast wadi
Ohhhh then do less work, and just simplify the bracket
long wharf
does this help with anything?
fast wadi
You don’t need to bring it to the front basically and just write 9*(x^3+y)^0.5*(-y)
fast wadi
I think with the - since you expand the bracket with the minus sign
long wharf
You don’t need to bring it to the front basically and just write 9*(x^3+y)^0.5*(...
i believe i tried this and it was still wrong
fast wadi
Hmm, maybe bring the (-y) to the front, without multiplying with the 9?
fast wadi
I think you just mistyped the y^4 inside the √
Otherwise I don’t think I see anything wrong with it
fast wadi
I think the quotation marks in the message are confusing me, since you didn’t type any quotation marks in?
fast wadi
Ohhhh that makes sense 😭
At least you understand how the question works at least, so it’s not your fault :)
long wharf
yep thank youuu so much!
