2. Explain and correct the error made by a student who simplified this expression.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Ira Lisetskai [31]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

what this student did was distribute the x to all 3 numbers when what they should have done was just combine 7x and -2x, and the answer should be 5x +8

Step-by-step explanation:

By the student placing x on the outside they are making the equation seem as if 8 also had an x. However if we look at the original problem 8 does not have any variable so right away that was their first mistake. Instead they had to find the numbers that had similar values. In this case it is negative 2x and 7x. We combine those two to get 5x+8 we cannot combine these two because as said previously 8 doesnt have a variable. so the answer stays with the expression 5x+8

Q2) What are the rules for probability distributions ? I​
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

Probability Distributions

A listing of all the values the random variable can assume with their corresponding probabilities make a probability distribution.

A note about random variables. A random variable does not mean that the values can be anything (a random number). Random variables have a well defined set of outcomes and well defined probabilities for the occurrence of each outcome. The random refers to the fact that the outcomes happen by chance -- that is, you don't know which outcome will occur next.

Alex has 520 yards of fencing to enclose a rectangular area.
Pavlova-9 [17]
<span>Perimeter =2w+2L= 520.
We can solve this by understanding that the area is maximized by a square
Therefore L=w.

p=2w+2w=520=4w
w=130

Area
 
A=wL=130(130)= 16900 square yards</span>
