Micah was asked to add the following expressions: 3x2−x−9x2+3x+2+−2x2+2x+5x2+3x+2 First, he combined like terms in the numerator

and kept the common denominator. x2+x−4x2+3x+2 Next, he simplified the expression by canceling the like term, x2. His final, simplified answer was: x−43x+2 Did Micah add the expressions correctly? Explain your answer using complete sentences.

Micah was asked to add the following expressions:

\frac{3x^2-x-9}{x^2+3x+2} + \frac{-2x^2+2x+5}{x^2+3x+2}

First, he combined like terms in the numerator and kept the common denominator

First step is correct. He added the like terms in the numerator, because the denominators are same.

3x^2 -x -9 -2x^2+2x+5 becomes x^2 +x -4

So he got , \frac{x^2+x-4}{x^2+3x+2}

In the next step, he cannot cancel out x^2 from the top and bottom . Because x-4 and 3x+2  are added with x^2

If we have x^2 is multiplied with other terms at the top and bottom , then we can cancel out x^2.

So Micah added the expression incorrectly. Final answer is not correct.

A wheel assembly is
Basile [38]

Answer:

The total weight of the assembly is 7 pounds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total weight of the assembry is found by the sum of the weights of each components.

We have:

2 wheels, each weighing 2.6 pounds, so 2*2.6 = 5.2 pounds

An axle, which weighs 1.8 pounds, so 5.2+1.8 = 7 pounds

The total weight of the assembly is 7 pounds.

Which transformations take f(x)=3x+1 to g(x)=−3x-5 ?
lbvjy [14]
<span>reflection over the x-axis and a translation 4 units down Refelcting f(x) over the x axis gives -f(x)=-3x-1 Subtracting a constant from -f(x) moves the graph of -f(x) that many units down. -f(x)-4=-3x-5=g(x) This shows that g(x) is obtained by reflecting f(x) over the x-axis and then translating 4 units down.</span>
