<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:
y = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
y varies inversely with x setup is:
y = k/x
7 = (find 'k')
k = 7/1 · 2/3
k = 14/3
use what you know about 'k' and 'x' to solve for 'y'
y = 14/3 ÷ 7/3 (remember to multiply by the reciprocal when dividing fractions)
y = 14/3 · 3/7
y = 2
