Riley makes a mistake in step 2 while doing her homework. What was her mistake? StartFraction x Over x squared minus 5 x + 6 End

Fraction + StartFraction x Over x + 3 EndFraction Step 1: StartFraction x Over (x minus 2)(x minus 3) EndFraction + StartFraction 3 Over x + 3 EndFraction Step 2: StartFraction x Over (x minus 2) (x + 3) EndFraction + 3 (x minus 2) Over (x minus 2) (x + 3) EndFraction Step 3: StartFraction x + 3 x minus 6 Over (x minus 2) (x + 3) EndFraction Step 4: StartFraction 4 x minus 6 Over (x minus 2) (x + 3) EndFraction She added the two fractions incorrectly. She used the wrong common denominator. She did not distribute the negative correctly. She did not multiply the first fraction by a factor.

Answer:

The answer is:

She used the wrong common denominator

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving the given equation

\frac{x}{x^2-5x+6}+\frac{x}{x+3}\\\\Step 1: \frac{x}{(x-2)(x-3)}+\frac{x}{x+3}\\Step2: \frac{x}{(x-2)(x-3)}+\frac{x(x-2)}{(x-2)(x+3)}\\Step3:\frac{x(x+3)+x(x-2)(x+3)}{(x-2)(x-3)(x+3)}

Lets consider the steps given in the question:

Step2: \frac{x}{(x-2)(x+3)}+\frac{3(x-2)}{(x-2)(x+3)}

Step3: \frac{x+3(x-2)}{(x-2)(x+3)}\\

Lets compare both solutions:

In the original solution, the denominator of first term is (x-2)(x-3)

In the solution given in the question, the denominator of first term is (x-2)(x+3).

So the mistake she did in step 2 was that she change the sign of 3 in (x-3) from negative to positive, due to which she gets the wrong common denominator shown in Step 3.

I WILL GIVE BRAINLEST PLZ HELP!!!
adell [148]

Step-by-step explanation:

The Slope is calculated as the change in y over the change in x so you would need to do 5- (-5) which turns the negative sign to a positive making it 5+5=10 and the same thing with the 2s 2-(-2)=4 so the answer would be 10/4 or 5/2. Willa did the reciprocal.

if it's a multiple chose then the answer is b

hope this helps

Peter needs to find the distance across the pond shown in the diagram. He starts from point C and walks 200 meters to point B. T
gladu [14]

Answer:

c=231.87 m

Step-by-step explanation:

When we read this example we can see that Peter will form triangle with those sides :

a=200 m,

b=180 m

cos X=cos (180-105)=cos75

x is angle.

Now, we can use this rule :

c^{2} =a^2+b^2-2abcosX

Now, let's evaluate :

c^{2} =200^{2} +180^{2} -200*180cos75\\c^2=40000+32 400-18 645\\c^2=53765\\c=231.87 m

In ΔKLM, the measure of ∠M=90°, LK = 89, ML = 80, and KM = 39. What ratio represents the tangent of ∠K?
vodka [1.7K]

<u>Given</u>:

It is given that KLM is a right triangle.

The measure of ∠M is 90°

The length of LK is 89, ML is 80 and KM is 39.

We need to determine the ratio that represents the tangent of ∠K.

<u>Measure of tan ∠K:</u>

The measure of tan ∠K can be determined using the trigonometric ratio.

Thus, we have;

tan \ \theta=\frac{opp}{adj}

From the figure attached below, the side opposite to ∠K is ML and the side adjacent to ∠K is KM

Hence, substituting the values, we get;

tan \ k=\frac{ML}{KM}

where ML = 80 and KM = 39.

Substituting, we get;

tan \ k=\frac{80}{39}

Thus, the ratio that represents the tangent of ∠K is \frac{80}{39}
