<u>Errors in Algebraic Operations
</u>
It's usual that students make mistakes when misunderstanding the application of algebra's basic rules. Here we have two of them
- When we change the signs of all the terms of a polynomial, the expression must be preceded by a negative sign
- When multiplying negative and positive quantities, if the number of negatives is odd, the result is negative. If the number of negatives is even, the result is positive.
- Not to confuse product of fractions with the sum of fractions. Rules are quite different
The first expression is
Let's arrange into format:
We can clearly see in all of the factors in the expression the signs were changed correctly, but the result should have been preceeded with a negative sign, because it makes 3 (odd number) negatives, resulting in a negative expression. The correct form is
Now for the second expression
Let's arrange into format
It's a clear mistake because it was asssumed a product of fractions instead of a SUM of fractions. If the result was correct, then the expression should have been
Answer: 195
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost per student = $4
Total number who attended = n
The cost of the total of student who attended will be cost per student multiplied by the total number of students, that is
Total cos = 4n
Since, they are to pay $140 , for publicity, then the total cost becomes
T = 4n - 140
From the last statement
4n - 140 ≥ 640
4n ≥ 640 + 140
4n ≥780
n ≥ 780/4
n ≥ 195
That means at least 195 students must attend if the science club is to earn at least $ 640
Answer:
x = -3 and x = -3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
After writing down the polynomial, split it; put a line between 3x^2 and -18x. Look and 2x^3 + 3x^2 and -18x - 27 separately and factor them both:
p(x) = 2x^3 + 3x^2 <u>- 18x -27</u>
p(x) = x^2(2x+3) <u>-9(2x+3)</u>
Now notice how x^2 and -9 have the same factor (2x+3). That means x^2 and -9 can go together:
p(x) = (x^2 - 9)(2x+3)
Factor it once more because there's a difference of squares:
p(x) = (x+3)(x-3)(2x+3)
Now just plug in whatever makes the each bracket equal 0:
x = -3, x = 3, and x = -3/2
Those are your zeros.

Answer:
The best estimate of the solution ordered pair from the graph is 
.
Step-by-step explanation:
See the attached graph to this question.
The graph of two straight lines are shown in the graph.
Now, the two straight lines intersect on the x-axis, so the solution ordered pairs should have y-value equals to zero.
But, there are two ordered pairs with y-value zero and they are and 
.
The best estimate of the solution ordered pairs from the graph is .
So, this is the solution. (Answer)
