Answer:

The 2 in the numerator should be -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a quadratic equation

-2x^2+5x-3=0

We have to find error made by Zacharias.

We have a=-2,b=5,c=-3

Quadratic formula : D=b^2-4ac

Then, x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{D}}{2a}

Substitute the values in the given formula

D=(5)^2-4(-2)(-3)

x=\frac{-5\pm\sqrt{(5)^2-4(-2)(-3)}}{2(-2)}

Therefore, the 2 in the numerator should be -2 .This is the error made by Zacharias.

<span>the equation -2x² + 5x -3=0, we notice that the sum of the coefficient equals 0, -2+5-3=0, if such a case happens, the solution of the previous equation will be, x=1 (always) and x= c/a, a=-2, and c=-3, so x=-3/-2, finally, the answer is: the 2 in the denominator should be -2</span>

Subtract 4 from 1/6 in parentheses
Rom4ik [11]
I am not sure if what I am about to explain is correct but I hope it is somewhere along the correct path

To solve the problem use the following steps below....

Step 1: Take your numbers and place them in parentheses

(4-1/6)

Step 2: Turn your whole number,4, into a fraction

6/6=1
6/6x4=24/6

Step 3: Place your new fraction back into the problem

(24/6-1/6)

Step 4: Use the operation,subtraction, and minus 1/6 from 24/6

(23/6)
24/6 minus 1/6=23/6

Step 5(is optional): Turn 23/6 into a mixed fraction by dividing 23 by 6

23<span>÷6= 3 5/6

Step 6(is optional): put your answer into a final statement

(4-1/6)=23/6=3 5/6

Answer: 3 5/6

I hope this helps and I apologize in advance if any false information was given.
