Find the mistake in the following : 3 x ( 4 + 2 ) = 12 + 2

Mathematics

Lyrx [107]3 years ago

Answer: The mistake is improper use of distribution property.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that 3\times (4+2)=12+2.

We need to find the mistake.

The given expression is

3\times (4+2)

Using distribution property, we get

3\times (4)+3\times(2)

12+6

So, 3\times (4+2)=12+6.

In the given calculation the 3 is not distributed properly because 3 is not multiplied with 2.

Therefore, the mistake is improper use of distribution property.

How many ways are there to elect a president, Vice President, secretary, and treasurer, from a club with 32 members?
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer: There are 863,040 possible ways

Step-by-step explanation: There are 32 members altogether in the club. So in order to elect a president from among all of them, if every one of them has a chance if being elected, there would be 32 possible chances for every single club member.

However, as long as one member has been elected as president, that leaves others with a 31 chance per person arrangement.

Therefore, all possible permutations of electing four officers from a club of 32 members can be expressed as

32! (Thirty two factorial) which can be simplified as

32 x 31 x 30 x 29 and that equals 863,040.

863,040 possible ways of electing four officers from a club of 32 members.

The perimeter of an equilateral triangle is 26 centimeters. Find the altitude of the triangle
ioda

We have P = 3 x a (the formula of the perimeter); 26 = 3 x a ; we obtain a = 26/3;

Then, we have  <span>the Pythagorean Theorem in one of two rectangular and congruent triangles :</span>

h² = a² - (a/2)² = a² - a²/4 = 4a²/4 - a²/4 =<span> 3a²/4</span>

It follows that

h = √(3a²/4) = a√3/2 ≈ 0,866*a ≈ 7,5 centimeter.
