1. Problem statement: The user did not provide a math problem to solve; please paste the exact problem you want help with. 2. What I need: Include the full expression or equation, state whether you want to solve, simplify, factor, differentiate, integrate, or graph, and provide any specific values or constraints. 3. Useful formulas and rules I often use: - Quadratic formula for $ax^2+bx+c=0$: $$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$$ - Power rule for derivatives: $$\frac{d}{dx}x^n = n x^{n-1}$$ - Distributive property example: Example: simplify $2(x+3)-4$. Step 1: apply distributive property: $2(x+3)-4 = 2x+6-4$. Step 2: combine like terms: $2x+6-4 = 2x+2$. 4. How I present solutions: I show each algebraic manipulation or calculus step, explain why it is valid, and box the final answer. 5. Next step: Please reply with your exact problem and any preferences (solve for x, simplify, show steps only, or provide a graph). Final answer: I cannot solve until you provide the problem; please paste it and I will provide a full step-by-step solution.
