You have not given us any of the steps that Ricardo took to simplify the
expression, and you also haven't given us the list of choices that includes
the description of his mistake, so you're batting O for two so far.
Other than those minor details, the question is intriguing, and it certainly
draws me in.
If Ricardo made a mistake in simplifying that expression, I'm going to say that
it was most likely in the process of removing the parentheses in the middle.
Now you understand that this is all guess-work, because of all the stuff that you
left out when you copied the question, but I think he probably forgot that the 3x
operates on everything inside the parentheses.
He probably wrote that 3x (x-3) is
either 3x² - 3
or x - 9x .
In reality, when properly simplified,
3x (x - 3) = 3x² - 9x .
Answer:
4.5 sq. units
Step-by-step explanation:
area = -⅓x³+3/2 x² ] 0 to 3
= -⅓(3)³+ 3/2 (3)² -0
= -9 + 27/2
= -9 + 13.5
= 4.5 sq. units
You can use the equation to find the slope of a line given two points. This equation is y2 - y1 divided by x2 minus x1. The y2 is represented by the y coordinate of the second ordered pair, but it really doesn't matter, either way you get the same answer. The same way the x2 is represented by the x coordinate of the second ordered pair. For this problem, I will just use the normal coordinates. So the second y coordinate is 3. 3 -0 = 3. So your numerator is 3. The second x coordinate is 2. 2-0 = 2. So the denominator is 2. This is 3/2. So your slope would be 3/2. Hope this helps. :D Let me know if you didn't understand something in my explanation.
I got 20.8 and in fraction form it would be 20 4/5
Eliminate the opponent number
Change the sign of both sides of the equation
Divide both sides by the same number
