Quite an odd question? Does it ask you to leave it in a kind of style? I would factorise so take out (x^2 -2x+3)^(1/2) {1 - (x^2 -2x +3)} which simplifies to (x^2 -2x+3)^(1/2) {2x-x^2 - 2} but not sure that's right..

Im not surprised at the mistake seeming as it came from someone such as yourself. Counting from 1 to 10 looks a whole lot harder than that shiit you posted....
