Need help with option 1 or 2
1 answer:
Option 2.
1. Simplify 7 + (12 - 9) + 7 × 3(8 - 5)
According to the Order of Operations, contents of parentheses are evaluated first. This gives
... 7 + 3 + 7 × 3 × 3
Then multiplication and division are performed left to right.
... = 7 + 3 + 21 × 3
... = 7 + 3 + 63
Followed by addition and subtraction left to right.
... = 10 + 63
... = 73
A Google search box can be relied upon to do the operations in the correct order.
_____
2. When the expression is rewritten, a different result is obtained. This is because the operations indicated by the second set of parentheses are altered.
... (7 + 12) - 9 + (7 × 3)8 - 5
... = 19 - 9 + 21 × 8 - 5
... = 19 - 9 + 168 - 5
... = 10 + 168 - 5
... = 178 - 5
... = 173
In the first expression, both +8 and -5 are multiplied by 21. In the rewritten expression, only +8 is multiplied by 21.

You're looking for the volume of the prism. The dead giveaway there is that you're looking for "cubic" measurement. Cubic measures are indicators that the volume is being determined, just like "square feet" or inches, etc indicates area is being determined. The volume for this prism is found by multiplying the length times the width times the height. In decimal form, 45×30×40=54,000. But that is in cubic inches and we want cubic feet. So we will use dimensional analysis to convert that. Setting up the DA looks like this, keeping in mind that there are 12 cubic inches in 1 cubic foot: 
. The label of cubic inches cancels out leaving us with cubic feet, and doing the division there gives us 54,000/(12*12*12) which is 31.25 cubic feet.
Answer:
Error of Andrew: Made incorrect factors from the roots
Step-by-step explanation:
Roots of the polynomial are: 3, 2 + 2i, 2 - 2i. According to the factor theorem, if a is a root of the polynomial P(x), then (x - a) is a factor of P(x). According to this definition:
(x - 3) , (x - (2 + 2i)) , (x - (2 - 2i)) are factors of the required polynomial.
Simplifying the brackets, we get:
(x - 3), (x - 2 - 2i), (x - 2 + 2i) are factors of the required polynomial.
This is the step where Andrew made the error. The factors will always be of the form (x - a) , not (x + a). Andrew wrote the complex factors in form of (x + a) which resulted in the wrong answer.
So, the polynomial would be:
