Answer:

Antoinette's error

Option A) She distributed incorrectly.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Antoinette solves the linear equation

$3(x-3)+2x+9 = 2x+ 2(x-1)$

Antoinette made mistake in step 1 that is she did not distributed correctly.

If she would have distributed correctly, then she would have got the following solution:

$3(x-3)+2x+9 = 2x+ 2(x-1)\\\text{Step 1: }3x-9+2x+9 = 2x + 2x-2\\\text{Step 2: }5x = 4x -1\\\text{Step 3: }5x-4x = -1\\\text{Step 4: }x = -1$

Substituting x = -1 in the given equation, we gwt:

$3(-1-3)+2(-1)+9 = 2(-1)+ 2(-1-1)\\-12-2+9 = -2-4\\-6=-6\\\text{which is true}$

Antoinette's error

Option A) She distributed incorrectly.

Answer:

the answer is A.

Step-by-step explanation:

After multiplying the two fractions: $\frac{-7}{4} * \frac{5}{3} = \frac{-35}{12} = -2\frac{11}{12}$

You might also want to consider that it's negative because it's BELOW sea level. If you are going down, that wount mean that it is negative. So after mltiplying and turning the result into a proper fraction, you get A as your final answer.

Find all the antiderivatives of the following function. Check your work by taking the derivative.

Rom4ik [11]

$\int 10e^x dx = 10 \int e^x dx = 10 e^x + C$

The first step, factoring out the constant 10, is due to the Constant Multiple Rule:

$\int k \cdot f(x) dx = k \cdot \int f(x) dx$

The derivative of the natural exponential function is itself! $\frac{d}{dx} \left( e^x \right) = e^x$ . Reversing this,

$\int e^x dx = e^x + C$

Ellen is making jewelry sets that contain a bracelet and a pair of earrings. Each bracelet uses 3 times as many beads as one ear

dangina [55]

<h2 /><h2>So there are a pair of earrings and a Bracelet. </h2>

It's given that the Bracelet uses 3 times the number of beads that's used in making a single earring.

It's also given that one single earing has 13 beads. So a single bracelet would have (3×13) beads .... and that's equal to 39.

Making a single set of jewellery needs a pair of earrings and a Bracelet.

So total number of required beads will be =

Solve the differential equation by separation of variables x(dy/dx)=4y

weeeeeb [17]

get all your x one on side and y on the opposing side so we have
xdy=4ydx
dy/y=4dx/x
integrate both sides
lny=4lnx+C
 y=e^(4lnx+C)
The answer is y=cx^4
