He does not divide the numerator and the denominator by the same number. Nicholas divides 20 by 5 and 30 by 6. He ought to have divided 30 by 5 as well and then simplified.

P.S. Nicholas should have just divided both 20 and 30 by 10 to simplify in one step.

Hi there! :D

Let's simplify this together first! 

20/30

We can divide both sides by 5 since both are divisible by 5.

You would divide both sides by 5. 

20÷5= 4
30÷5=6

4/6, we can divide it by 2 to get: 2/3 <== that is the simplest fraction. 

Nicholas' error was that he divided 20 by 5 and then 30 by 6. You would divide both by 5. You would change:

30÷6=5 to 30÷5=6

I hope this helps!

The following equation f(x) = x³ + 0.5x² + 4.5 has only 1 real root. It lies between the interval [-1,0].
melisa1 [442]
We are asked in this problem to find the real root of the polynomial f(x) = x3 + 0.5x2 + 4.5. in this case, to find the root of the equation, we equate the equation to zero. 
<span>f(x) = x³ + 0.5x² + 4.5 = 0 
        2x3 + x^2 + 9 = 0
</span><span>x1=−1.83557
</span>x2=0.66779+1.41619∗i
x3=0.66779−1.41619∗i

answer is -1.84

Does -2(z+3)-z=-z-4(z+2) have one,zero or infinite solutions
Andrew [12]

Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

One solution (z = -1)

Discussion:

-2(z+3)-z=-z-4(z+2)        =>

-2z -6 -z = -z -4z - 8       =>

-3z -6 = -5z -8                =>  add 6 to both sides

-2z = -5z -2                     => add 5z to both sides

3z = -5z +5z -3               =>

3z = -3                            =>

z = -1

Thank you,

MrB
