Answer:

Step 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Susu is solving the quadratic equation 4x^2 - 8x - 13 = 0 by completing the square

To apply completing the square method we need to get x^2 alone

Susu added 13 on both sides . So step 1 is correct

When we factor out 4, we divide both terms by 4

4(\frac{4x^2}{4} -\frac{8x}{2} )=13

4(x^2-2x)=13

Susu forgot to divide 8 by 4

So , error in step 2

Answer:

Step 3

Step-by-step explanation:

when solving by completing the square you are supposed to do (b/2)^2 and then add that to both sides.

In your example (-8/2)^2=16

You are supposed to add sixteen to both sides not 64

Susu forgot to divide 8 by 2 before she raised it to the to the second powerm that is why she got 64, which is incorrect.

Rewrite the following statements less formally, without using variables. Determine, as best as you can, whether the statements a
Anni [7]

Answer:

The answer is given below

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Let u and v be real numbers. The sum of u and v = u + v and the difference between u and v = u - v.

u + v < u - v means the sum of two real numbers is less than the difference between the two numbers.

There exist two real numbers such that their sum is less than the difference between them

This is true when atleast one of the numbers is negative, for example u = 2 and v = -2

u + v = 2 + (-2) = 0 , u - v = 2 - (-2) = 4

u + v < u - v.

b) Let x be a real number and x² be the square of the real number

x² < x means that the square of a real number is less than the real number

We can rewrite the statement as: There exist a real number such that its square is smaller than itself.

The statement is true for x is between 0 and ±1

E.g. for x = 1/2, x² = (1/2)² = 1/4

1/4 < 1/2

c) Let n represent all positive integers. n² is the square of n.

n²≥n means that the square of n is greater or equal to n.

We can rewrite the statement as: For all positive integer numbers, the square of the number is greater than or equal to the number itself

The statement is true.

1² ≥ 1, 2² ≥ 2 e.t.c

d)  Let a and b be real numbers. The sum of a and b = a + b. |a| is the absolute value of a and |b| is the absolute value of b

|a+b|≤|a|+|b| means the absolute value of the sum of two real numbers is less than or equal to the sum of their individual absolute value.

We can rewrite the statement as: For two real numbers, the absolute value of their sum is less than or equal to their individual absolute value sum.

This statement is true for all real numbers.
