Answer:

They are both correct

Step-by-step explanation:

It's interpretation of the concept. In common practice multiplying by 10 means you add a zero and that's what we teach 10 year olds. But what does adding a zero mean? It means adding a place value and that's what you learn when you are

So in both examples just add a decimal:

2.0 x 10 = 20.

0.2 x 10 = 2.0

In conclusion, it depends on the level of precision required in the discussion and the level of maturity as to who is correct in their examples. If you are teaching 3rd graders math, by all means you add a zero. If you are discussing physics you are shifting over a place value.

F(x) = -7x2 + 9x - 15 and g(x) = -12x2 – 15x + 7
djyliett [7]

Answer:

{5x}^{2}  + 6x =  - 8

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is asking you to insert two equations, f(x) and g(x), into the equation g(x) - f(x). This will lead to the equation below.

{ - 12x}^{2}  - 15x + 7 - ({ - 7)x}^{2}  + 9x - 15

Now we can solve for the equation.

{ - 5x}^{2}  - 6x - 8 = 0 \\   {5x}^{2}  + 6x =  - 8
