This is a fun problem to solve!

First we find the series representation of the basic, 1/(1-x).
If you already know the answer, it is 1+x+x^2+x^3+x^4...., easy to remember.
If not, we can use the binomial expansion:
1/(1-x) = (1-x)^(-1) = 1+((-1)/1!)(-x)+(-1)(-2)/2!(-x)^2+(-1)(-2)(-3)/3!(-x)^3+...
which gives 1+x+x^2+x^3+x^4+...

Then 1/(1-x)^2 is just (1/(1-x))^2, or
(1+x+x^2+x^3+x^4+...)^2=
     x+x^2+x^3+x^4+x^5+x^6+...
         x^2+x^3+x^4+x^5+x^6+...
              +x^3+x^4+x^5+x^6+...
                      +x^4+x^5+x^6+...
                              +x^5+x^6+...
                                       ....
                                            ....)
=1+2x+3x^2+4x^3+5x^4+6x^5+....

Similarly, 
(1+x)/(1-x)^2 can be considered as
=1/(1+x)^2+x(1+x)^2
=1+2x+3x^2+4x^3+5x^4+6x^5+....
      +x+2x^2+3x^3+4x^4+5x^5+...
=1+3x+5x^2+7x^3+9x^4+11x^5+...

Finally,
x(1+x)/(1-x)^2 can be considered as
=x*(1+x)/(1-x)^2
=x*(1+3x+5x^2+7x^3+9x^4+11x^5+...)
=x+3x^2+5x^3+7x^4+9x^5+11x^6+....+(2i-1)x^i+... 

Therefore
x(1+x)/(1-x)^2 = x+3x^2+5x^3+7x^4+9x^5+11x^6+...+(2i-1)x^i+... ad infinitum

Musya8 [376]

f(x)= 9x^3+ 2x^2 -5x+ 4

g(x)= 5x^3 -7x+ 4

f(x) - g(x)

= (9x^3+ 2x^2 -5x+ 4) - (5x^3 -7x+ 4)

= 9x^3+ 2x^2 -5x+ 4 -5x^3+ 7x -4

= (9x^3 -5x^3)+ 2x^2+ (7x -5x)+ (4-4) (combine like terms)

= 4x^3+ 2x^2+ 2x

= 2x* (2x^2+ x+ 1)

The final answer is 2x* (2x^2+ x+ 1).

A Jar contains n nickels and d dimes. There are 22 coins in the jar, and the total value of the coins is $1.55.
kotegsom [21]
They is 9dime and 13 Nickels because 13 x5=65 and 9 x10=90 .So 0.65+ 0.90= 1.55.
