Hello ChatGPT, how about some high school level maths ?


Sure, I can help with high school level math! Here are a few topics that are commonly covered in high school mathematics:
Algebra

        Solve by factoring, using the quadratic formula, or completing the square.

    Functions and Graphs:
        Understand and plot linear, quadratic, and exponential functions.
        Find the domain and range of a function.

        Prove triangles are congruent using SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS.
        Understand similarity and scale factors.

    Volume and Surface Area:
        Calculate the volume and surface area of prisms, cylinders, pyramids, and spheres.

Trigonometry

    Exponential and Logarithmic Functions:
        Solve exponential and logarithm


Let a and b be real numbers parameters, x be a variable.
Please solve (a + 2)  x = b.


To solve the equation (a + 2) x = b  for x, follow these steps:

Isolate x:
Divide both sides of the equation by (a + 2) to solve for x. This is possible as long as a + 2 ≠ 0.

(a + 2) x = b
x = b / (a + 2), provided that a + 2 ≠ 0

    Consider the Special Case:
    If a + 2 = 0, then a = −2. In this case, the equation becomes 0⋅x = b.
        If b ≠ 0, there is no solution because a nonzero b cannot equal zero.
        If b = 0, any value of x satisfies the equation, meaning there are infinitely many solutions.

Summary of Solutions

    If a ≠ −2:
    x = b / (a + 2)

    If a = −2:
        If b ≠ 0: No solution.
        If b = 0: Infinitely many solutions (any x is a solution).

This covers all cases for solving (a + 2)⋅x = b

Let a and b be real numbers parameters, x be a variable.
Please solve (a² + a - 2) * x = b.


To solve the equation (a² + a − 2)⋅x = b  for x, follow these steps:

    Factor the Quadratic Expression:
    First, factor a² + a − 2 :
    a² + a − 2 = (a + 2)(a − 1)

    Thus, the equation becomes:
    (a + 2) (a −1)⋅x = b

    Isolate x:
  To solve for x, divide both sides of the equation by (a + 2)(a − 1), provided (a + 2)(a − 1) ≠ 0
    c = b / (a + 2)(a − 1)

    Consider the Special Cases:
        If a + 2 = 0, then a = −2.
        If a − 1 = 0, then a = 1.

Case Analysis

    If a = −2:
        The equation becomes 0⋅x = b.
        If b ≠ 0, there is no solution because 0⋅x cannot equal a nonzero b.
        If b = 0, any value of x satisfies the equation, meaning there are infinitely many solutions.

    If a = 1:
        The equation becomes 0⋅x = b.
        If b ≠ 0, there is no solution because 0⋅x cannot equal a nonzero b.
        If b = 0, any value of x satisfies the equation, meaning there are infinitely many solutions.

Summary of Solutions

    If a ≠ −2 and a ≠ 1:
    x = b / (a + 2)(a − 1)

    If a = −2 :
        If b ≠ 0 : No solution.
        If b = 0 : Infinitely many solutions (any x is a solution).

    If a = 1:
        If b ≠ 0 : No solution.
        If b = 0 : Infinitely many solutions (any x is a solution).

This covers all cases for solving (a² + a − 2)⋅x=b.
 
Here is another exercice : Let a and b be real numbers parameters, x be a variable.
Please solve (a³ + a² + a +1) * x = b.


To solve the equation (a³ + a² + a +1) * x = b.  for x, follow these steps:

    Analyze the Coefficient:
    First, we need to determine if (a³ + a² + a +1) can be zero for any real number a. Let's factor this expression.

    Factor the Polynomial:
    Notice that:
    a³ + a² + a +1= (a² + 1) * (a + 1)

    So, the polynomial can be rewritten as:
    a³ + a² + a +1= (a² + 1) * (a + 1)

    Isolate x:
    To solve for xx, divide both sides of the equation by provided
    (a² + 1) * (a + 1) ≠ 0
    x = b / (a² + 1) * (a + 1)

    Consider the Special Cases:
        a + 1 = 0 implies a = −1 .
        a² + 1 = 0 has no real solutions because a² + 1 = 0 implies  a² = −1, which is not possible           for real numbers.

Special Case Analysis

    If a = −1:
        The equation becomes 0⋅x = b.
        If b ≠ 0, there is no solution because 0⋅x cannot equal a nonzero b.
        If b = 0, any value of x satisfies the equation, meaning there are infinitely many solutions.

Summary of Solutions

    If a ≠ −1
    x = b / (a² + 1) * (a + 1)

    If a = −1:
        If b ≠ 0 : No solution.
        If b = 0 : Infinitely many solutions (any x is a solution).

This covers all cases for solving (a³ + a² + a +1)⋅x = b
