Given:

The expression is

$(2x^2+4x-7)(x-2)$

To find:

The expression which is not a correct way to rewrite the given expression.

Solution:

We have,

$(2x^2+4x-7)(x-2)$

Using distributive property, we get

$=(2x^2)(x-2)+(4x)(x-2)+(-7)(x-2)$

$=(2x^2)(x)+(2x^2)(-2)+(4x)(x)+(4x)(-2)+(-7)(x)+(-7)(-2)$

Using distributive property the given expression can rewritten as:

$=(2x^2+4x-7)(x)+(2x^2+4x-7)(-2)$

Only the expression in option A is not a correct way to rewrite the given expression because $(2x^2+4x-7)$ is not distributed to $(x-2)$ properly.

Therefore, the correct option is A.

What is the graph of the function <br> f(x)=−⌊x⌋

kupik [55]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation being shown in the question is the absolute value of x. Absolute values when graphed show up as a V-shaped graph pointing upwards. This is because whatever value is passed as an input will output a positive, regardless of whether the input is positive or negative. Meaning that both 4 and -4 will output 4. That is why the graph is a V-shaped because the outputs repeat for both positive and negative inputs. In this case since the negative is outside the absolute value brackets the positive value given from the absolute value of the input will be turned into a negative. So this will cause the V-shape graph to be reflected across the x-axis. As seen in the attached picture below.
