The student messed up on step one. The proper factoring is (x-4) (x+2)

Answer:

B. in step 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a student performed the following steps to find the solution of the quadratic equation x^2-2x-8=0.

Step 1: Factor the polynomial into (x-4) and (x-2).

Step 2: x-4=0 and x-2=0

Step 3: x=4 and x=2.

Now we need to find about which step has the error.

let's multiply (x-4) and (x-2)

we get : (x-4)(x-2)=x^2-4x-2x+8=x^2-8x+8

While original problem has -8 as the last term. So that means factors are wrong.

Hence choice B. in step 1. is correct

Answer:

Area of the trapezoid = 6cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a trapezoid:

(1/2)*Sum of parallel opposite sides +Distance between the parallel sides

Parallel sides are: 2 cm  and 4 cm

Distance between the parallel sides is 2 cm

Area of the trapezoid:

                            =\frac{1}{2}*(2+4)*2\\\\=\frac{1}{2}* 6*2\\\\=\frac{12}{2}\\\\ =6cm^2

Area of the trapezoid is 6cm^2
