<span>Let's analyze Hannah's work, step-by-step, to see if she made any mistakes. 

</span>In Step 1, Hannah wrote \dfrac{d}{dx} (-3+8x) <span> as the sum of two separate derivatives </span>\dfrac{d}{dx}(-3)+ \dfrac{d}{dx} (8x) <span>using the </span><span>sum rule.
</span>
This step is perfectly fine. 

In Step 2, \dfrac{d}{dx}(8x) was kept as it is, and \dfrac{d}{dx}(-3) was rewritten as 0 using the constant rule.Indeed, according to the constant rule, the derivative of a constant number is equal to zero.

This step is perfectly fine. 

In Step 3, \dfrac{d}{dx} (8x)  was rewritten as \dfrac{d}{dx}(8) \dfrac{d}{dx}(x) supposedly using the constant multiple rule.

The problem is that according to the constant multiple rule, \dfrac{d}{dx}(8x)&#10; should be rewritten as 8 \dfrac{d}{dx}(x) and not as \dfrac{d}{dx}(8)\dfrac{d}{dx}(x).  

<span>Therefore, Hannah made a mistake in this step.</span>

Answer: Choice C and Choice D

========================================================

Explanation:

  • Choice A doesn't work because it the $1 should be $7 instead.
  • Choice B doesn't work because it should be Elena spending $7 total on 3 notebooks and a $1 pen. The x is the amount per notebook.
  • Choice C does work. If x is the number of grapes Noah gives each friend, then 3x is the total amount Noah gives over. Then 3x+1 is the number of grapes total. That +1 at the end is the grape Noah eats. We end up with 3x+1 = 7 because Noah starts off with 7 grapes.
  • Choice D works also. The x is the number of hours for math, science and history each. So 3x is the combined time of those three classes. Add on 1 to get 3x+1 to represent all 7 hours, ie 3x+1 = 7.
  • Choice E does not work. If it was her spending $7 on 3 markers and a $1 pen, then it would work.

2 1/6 + -5/6 = ? please if its a decimal please right 3.2 instead of 3.4839
Lisa [10]

Answer:

1 2/6 is the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

in 2 1/6 + -5/6 what you do is you can turn the plus sign into a minus sign and  make -5/6 5/6 so now the problem is 2 1/6 - 5/6 and the awnser to that is 1 2/6
