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

Which expression is equivalent? 8(3x − 6) A) 24x + 48 B) 24x − 48 C) −24x + 48 D) −24x − 48
Irina18 [472]
If this is distributive property, you would change 8(3x-6) to 8(3)x-8(6) and another way to say that is 24x-48 so it would be b and for d there are two negative signs which would equal positive so b and d

shepuryov [24]

174 rounded to the nearest hundred is:

200

When rounding to the nearest hundred, like we did with 174 above, we use the following rules:

A) We round the number up to the nearest hundred if the last two digits in the number are 50 or above.

B) We round the number down to the nearest hundred if the last two digits in the number are 49 or below.

C) If the last two digits are 00, then we do not have to do any rounding, because it is already to the hundred.
