<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

The slope-intercept form of the linear function is y = m x + b , where m is the slope and b is y-intercept.
Here we have: y = 3 x - 3
a ) When y = 0
0 = 3 x - 3
- 3 x = - 3
x = ( - 3 ) : ( - 3 )
x = 1
When x = 0
y = 3 * 0 - 3
y = - 3
So x - intercept is ( 1, 0 ) and y-intercept is ( 0, - 3 ).
b ) The slope:
m = ( y2 - y1) / ( x2 - x1 ) =
= ( - 3 - 3 ) / ( 5- 7 ) = ( - 6 ) /( - 2 ) = 6 / 2 = 3
Answer: The slope m = 3 .
