Math Problem Statement

(5a2+2b2+3c2) + (a2−b2+c2)

Solution

To simplify the given expression, we can combine like terms. The expression is:

(5a2+2b2+3c2)+(a2b2+c2)(5a^2 + 2b^2 + 3c^2) + (a^2 - b^2 + c^2)

First, let's remove the parentheses (since there are no subtraction signs in front of them, this step simply involves rewriting the terms):

5a2+2b2+3c2+a2b2+c25a^2 + 2b^2 + 3c^2 + a^2 - b^2 + c^2

Now, let's combine like terms:

  1. Combine the a2a^2 terms: 5a2+a2=6a25a^2 + a^2 = 6a^2
  2. Combine the b2b^2 terms: 2b2b2=b22b^2 - b^2 = b^2
  3. Combine the c2c^2 terms: 3c2+c2=4c23c^2 + c^2 = 4c^2

Thus, the simplified expression is:

6a2+b2+4c26a^2 + b^2 + 4c^2

This is the result after combining like terms.
