Simplify 2021-02-05
Leslie pose la question :
To simplify improper fractions, do you convert it to a mixed number or leave as an improper fraction?

My daughter had a quiz in which she was supposed to simplify her answers. So, for example, on one question the answer she got was 11/10 and on another question she came up with 17/12. The teacher marked these as incorrect because they were mixed numbers. Her teacher wrote on her paper, "**name**, I even gave this back to you and told you to go through and simplify your answers!" We (her father and I) feel that the teacher wanted her to convert her answers, not simplify them but I haven't been able to find a definitive answer online. So, does simplifying improper fractions mean converting them to mixed numbers? Thank you for your help!

Christy pose la question :
Hi guys, ok so I'm having problems with solving this equation since it's been so long I've done precal.
I have to find critical points so I have to find the derivative first. This is what I've done so far s(t)= (t-6)^4 * (t+1)^2
t'= 4(t-6)^3*(1)*(t+1)^2+ 2(t+1)(1)*(t-6)^4
so this is where I got stuck, which is the algebra part. How can I simplify this to get the answer to figure out the critical points.

Simplifying a quadratic expression 2009-12-07
Sabbie pose la question :
Hi, I need help solving this equation for my physics homework,so I can solve the quadratic equations for x and y. I've derived the following equations from the information provided in the question.

2a+3b = 4 -- 1
2a^2 + 3b^2 = 62 -- 2

a=2-(3/2)b is substituted into equation 2.

so, i get
2 (2-(3/2)b)^2 + 3b^2 = 62

this is where the problem begins. i cannot work through this to get to the correct quadratic equation

5b^2-8b-36=0

I can't seem to be able to figure out where I keep going wrong. I would really appreciate it if you could give me a step-by-step breakdown of the workout.

thanks!
