Thread: Performing Operations?

Something so different from what I taught. I have no idea how to solve this.





NOTE: the exponents behind the z's are suppose to be -2.

Solve what actually?

I see no equation or a problem. Only two strings of variables I suppose?

It says to perform each of the operation and put the answers in descending order with regard to the x variable.

Did you notice that the x and z dependence of the first two terms are exactly the same? Combine them. If you were told "put the answers in descending order with regard to the x variable", since all three terms have , they can be in any order

x- 3x= -2x.

NOTE: the exponents behind the z's are suppose to be -2.

So use "z^{-2}".
