Given expression: 
We need to add the given rational expressions.
First step: Combined like terms in the numerator and kept the common denominator.

Second step they applied : Canceling the like term x^2 and got 
Note: We can't cancel like terms in top and bottom like this.
We can cancel out common factors in top an bottom.
<h3>Therefore, Micah did not add the expressions correctly.</h3>
X 1 2 3
y 10 8 6
So find the slope m: (6-10)/(3-1) = -4/2 = -2
Going backwards when x = 0, y will be 12 (you can see this)
So
<span>Initial value: 12, rate of change: −2

Hey there. Discrete data is usually date which is counted. Continuous data is data that can be measured, and can take any type of value. So for this, a) Continuous, b) Discrete c) Continuous, d) Discrete
Hopefully this should be right! :)
