Answer:

The student incorrectly used the Distributive property!

Step-by-step explanation:

The Distributive property says a(b+c)=ab+ac

In this problem the answer SHOULD be 3n-15, however the <u>student forgot to distribute the 3 to the -5</u>!

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

If my friend is in 5th grade and they need an example on exponents I would show them something like this 7 to the 3 power would be equal to 7 times 7 times 7 which also equals 343 or 4 to the 4th power would be equal to 4 times 4 times 4 times 4 which equals 256

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a simpiler way to show a younger student how to figure out exponents also. Have a great day :D

where, \overline{x} is mean of the data and n is number of observation.

The variance of a stock's returns can be calculated by the above formula.

Variance of stock's returns is the average value of squared deviations from the mean.

Therefore the correct option is b.
