x(2x)^2

Exponents come before multiplication.

Therefore...

x(2x)^2
= x(4x^2)
= 4x^3

You worked on computers for your school too? I did the same thing in highschool, where my job was to keep the school library computers running. Actual work only took about a couple hours a month and racked up massive hours on the school's pay using their high speed internet connection to download stuff. What a fun job. :D

You forgot the squared term in the original equation. See my derivation.

I wish I had moderator power during my exams. Find out the answers, then mod the papers before they're graded.

Or better yet, mod the grade entered into the PC.


" Great work, ESB, you scored 100% for the last 22 tests, How did you do it? "

"The Help of Mod, ma'am, the help of Mod."
