Henrietta solved a rational equation by multiplying both sides by $3x^{2}(x+2)$ .She did not find the least common multiple of the denominators .If she had find the least common denominator which is 3x(x+2) then the question can have been simplified in more simpler form.

Henrietta can have got rid of denominator and then use the distributive rule .

So the first option

A:She could use the least common multiple of the denominator is right

Solve the simultaneous equation y-2x+1=0 and 4x^2+3y^2-2xy=7

Lapatulllka [165]

The first equation is $y-2x+1=0$

$y=2x-1$ (Equation 1)

The second equation is $4x^{2}+3y^{2}-2xy=7$ (Equation 2)

Putting the value of x from equation 1 in equation 2.

we get,

$4x^{2}+3(2x-1)^{2}-2x(2x-1)=7$

$4x^{2}+3(4x^{2}+1-4x)-4x^{2}+2x=7$

by simplifying the given equation,

$12x^{2}-10x-4=0$

$6x^{2}-5x-2=0$

Using discriminant formula,

$D=b^{2}-4ac$

$D=25-4 \times 6 \times -2 = 73$

Now the formula for solution 'x' of quadratic equation is given by:

$x=\frac{-b+\sqrt{D}}{2a} and x=\frac{-b-\sqrt{D}}{2a}$

$x=\frac{5+\sqrt{73}}{12} and x=\frac{5-\sqrt{73}}{12}$

Hence, these are the required solutions.

Which statement best describes the polynomial 2x+8?

AleksandrR [38]

A
It is a first degree polynomial (aka linear because its highest power is 1) and it has two terms (2x and 8)
It does not have eight terms and is not a monomial (one term ie 3x^2)
