How the fuck do you factor things in math?
 

oh fuck
math continues to piss me off.. its been like 3 years since i did any real math in school and now i have to take calculus again.

anyway, who here knows how to factor things like this?
1) (x^3)-1 (need to try and divide by x+1 to solve problem, need a way to factor that to have a term x+1)

2) ((-1+h)^3) - 1/h

advanced math classes since 10th grade, never less than an A.

learn to use that (simple) and you're golden

I hated math in high school.

I've never used calc in any of my programming, but still had to learn it -=/

1) x^3-1 = (x-1)(x^2+x+1)
2) I think you typed it in wrong.

did you create the hotlink protector?

jDoG

yes i did

anyone know how to do these?

differential division

give us the sum and ill do i for you, i have no idea what you mean!

when you mean +1 you dont mean anti-differentiation do you?

or simple calculus

f(x) = ax^x
f'(x) = xax^(x-1)

I used to spit out this math too but 4 years have passed since my last class and now I can't even resolve some simple highschool problems... geez... and what you posted is so basic... still I'd need a few hours to get this in my head... damn...

anyway, michael, you have email. not about math tho :)
