The pattern subtracts 1.5 for each number in the pattern. 3-1.5 is 1.5.
1.5 minus 1.5 is zero. 0 minus 1.5 is -1.5. -1.5 minus 1.5 is negative
3. If we apply this rule to the next value, it would be -3 minus 1.5
which is equal to 4.5. The value after that would be 6, applying the
same rule.
The correct step to simplify the given equation is:
1/2b=1 + <span>2
</span><span>1/2b=3
</span>b = 2(3)
b = 6
Therefore, the correct answer among the choices presented is option A. <span>The student incorrectly applied the multiplication property of equality before the addition property of equality.</span>
Y= ∛(-x) - 3
for x = -8 → y = ∛-(-8) - 3 ↔ y = 2-3 ↔y = -1
for x= 8 → y= ∛(-8) - 3 ↔ y = -2 -3 ↔ y = -5
Then - 5≤ y≤ - 1
hence the range of y is {y|-5≤y≤-1}
