Math Problem Statement

y = (x^2 - 3x^2) / 2

Solution

The equation in the image is:

y=x23x22y = \frac{x^2 - 3x^2}{2}

Let's simplify this expression.

First, simplify the numerator:

x23x2=2x2x^2 - 3x^2 = -2x^2

Now, divide by 2:

y=2x22=x2y = \frac{-2x^2}{2} = -x^2

So, the simplified equation is:

y=x2y = -x^2
