im trying to work out the answer to 2p+-4p (squared)-2p(p-1)
Is it + or minus?
And what do you want to do? Work out the answer is not clear.
-------------------------
and also
1 1
--- - ---
x+2 x+4
= %28%28x%2B4%29+-+%28x%2B2%29%29%2F%28%28x%2B2%29%2A%28x%2B4%29%29
= 2%2F%28x%5E2+%2B+6x+%2B+8%29
and also
(2ab)-2
-------
2(ab)-3
