Thread: Maple 11

Ok, I am brand new to Maple 11. I have a list of 20 questions to put into this program such as (2x-9)(5x+7) When I put this into maple it keeps telling me error. Can someone help me with this program? I've tried to mess with it for hours and it's getting stressful

Maple is really picky about including operators

your input should look like

(2*x-9)*(5*x+7);

I hope this helps. See below

Can you explain to me everything else in that picture. Why is there a less than sign?

the red greater than sign is just a command prompt. it means Maple is ready to accept commands.

So would this be the finish product after it's all said and done? Or am I missing something?

That is it if you only want to multiply them together.

Yeah!!

How do I write fractions like 1/8*x^2 - 1/96*x - 1/16

Thanks for all your help guys. I just figured out my last question. I'm sure there will be more to come

Ok I'm doing this one and it's not coming out correctly. What am I doing wrong?

Anyone???
