Calculate the following expressions: a) (x+3)^2-(x-3)^2+(x+3)(x-3) b) (x^2+x+1)-(x+1)^2 c) (x+2)(x^2-2x+4)-(x-3)(x^2+3x+9)

a) E(x)= (x+3)^2-(x-3)^2+(x+3)(x-3)


(x+3)^2=x^2+2*3*x+9 


(x-3)^2=x^2-2*3*x+9


(x+3)(x-3) = x^2-9


E(x)= x^2+2*3*x+9 – (x^2-2*3*x+9) + x^2-9


E(x)= x^2+2*3*x+9 – x^2+2*3*x-9 + x^2-9


After the process of reducing similar terms, the expression will become:


 E(x)= x^2 + 12x -9


b) E(x)= (x^2+x+1)-(x+1)^2


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


E(x)= (x^2+x+1)-( x^2 +2x + 1)


If we are substituting x^2 +2x + 1 with a letter, t, the expression will become


E(t)=t-t


E(t)=0


So, the expression is not depending on the variable. 


c) E(x)= (x+2)(x^2-2x+4)-(x-3)(x^2+3x+9)


E(x)=x*(x^2-2x+4)+2*(x^2-2x+4)-x*(x^2+3x+9)+3*(x^2+3x+9)


E(x)= x^3-2x^2+4x+2x^2-4x+8- x^3-3x^2-9x+3x^2+9x+27


After the process of reducing similar terms, the expression will become:


E(x)=8+27


E(x)=35


This expression does not depend on any variable, also.

Discuss at least two characteristics of Romanticism in John Keat's poem "Ode toa Nightingale".

The poet in Ode To A Nightingale  is an escapist .He escapes through imagination .On his way the bower of the bliss wher the nightingale is ...
