Kindly check explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the question :
Jane evaluates x squared minus 3 x + 5 for x = negative 2 below. Step 1: (negative 2) squared minus 3 (negative 2) + 5 Step 2: Equals negative 4 + 6 + 5 Step 3: Equals 7 What, if any, was Jane's mistake?
Jane's evaluation :
x² - 3x + 5 for x = - 2
Step 1:
(-2)² - 3(-2) + 5
Step 2:
-4 + 6 + 5
Step 3 :
= 7
Jane's mistake was in STEP2,
evaluating (-2)² = 4 and not - 4
Hence, (-2)² - 3(-2) + 5
= 4 + 6 + 5
= 15
Step-by-step explanation:
Laurie read x+1/3 pages.
Mia read x pages.
<span>a2 – b2 = (a + b)(a – b) or (a – b)(a + b).
This is the 'Difference of Squares' formula we can use to factor the expression.
In order to use the </span><span>'Difference of Squares' formula to factor a binomial, the binomial must contain two perfect squares that are separated by a subtraction symbol.
</span><span>x^2 - 4 fits this, because x^2 and 4 are both perfect squares, and they are separated by a subtraction symbol.
All you do here to factor, is take the square root of each term.
√x^2 = x
√4 = 2
Now that we have our square roots, x and 2, we substitute these numbers into the form (a + b)(a - b).
</span>
<span>(a + b)(a - b)
(x + 2)(x - 2)
Our answer is final </span><span>(x + 2)(x - 2), which can also be written as (x - 2)(x + 2), it doesn't make a difference which order you put it in.
Anyway, Hope this helps!!
Let me know if you need help understanding anything and I'll try to explain as best I can.</span>
