Answer:
-3x^4 - 13x^3 + 14x - 7
Step-by-step explanation:
(5x^4 – 9x^3 + 7x – 1) + (-8x^4 + 4x^2 – 3x + 2) - (-4x^3 + 5x - 1)(2x – 7)
simplify multiplied terms
(-4x^3 + 5x - 1)(2x – 7)
(-4x^3+10x-8)
group like terms together
(5x^4-8x^4) + (-9x^3-4x^3) + (7x-3x+10x) + (-1+2-8)
simplify grouped terms
-3x^4 - 13x^3 + 14x - 7
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the segment is an angle bisector then the ratio of sides and base are equal, that is
= ( cross- multiply )
10x = 72 ( divide both sides by 10 )
x = 7.2 → D

<u>Errors in Algebraic Operations
</u>
It's usual that students make mistakes when misunderstanding the application of algebra's basic rules. Here we have two of them
- When we change the signs of all the terms of a polynomial, the expression must be preceded by a negative sign
- When multiplying negative and positive quantities, if the number of negatives is odd, the result is negative. If the number of negatives is even, the result is positive.
- Not to confuse product of fractions with the sum of fractions. Rules are quite different
The first expression is
Let's arrange into format:
We can clearly see in all of the factors in the expression the signs were changed correctly, but the result should have been preceeded with a negative sign, because it makes 3 (odd number) negatives, resulting in a negative expression. The correct form is
Now for the second expression
Let's arrange into format
It's a clear mistake because it was asssumed a product of fractions instead of a SUM of fractions. If the result was correct, then the expression should have been
