Answer:
Step 1, all the exponents are increased by 4
Step-by-step explanation:
The first incorrect step occurred in Step 1, where all the exponents were increased by 4.
This is mathematically incorrect due to exponential rules. When distributing exponents inside parentheses, we have to multiply the existing exponents inside the parentheses by the exponent outside the parentheses.
For example, (x²)³ is not x²⁺³, but rather, x⁽²⁾⁽³⁾.
We multiply the exponents instead of adding them together.
Therefore, the correct Step 1 should multiply all the variables' exponents by 4.
Steps 2 and 3 are correct since we do add the exponents when multiplying exponents with the same base, and we do subtract exponents with the same base when dividing.
Answer:
12
+ 29x - 14
Step-by-step explanation:
(3x+2)(4x-7)
Multiply out 3x first then 2
(3x * 4x) - (3x * -7) + (2 * 4x) + (2 * -7)
12 - (- 21x) + 8x + ( -14)
12 + 21x + 8x - 14 Combine like terms
12 + 29x - 14

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
(x - 4)
What you are being asked to do is find the exact same binomial in the top as is in the bottom.
But there's a small catch. You must stipulate that x cannot equal 4. If it does, then you will get 0/0 which is undefined. You can't have that happening -- not at this level.
Any other value for x is fine.
