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.

Let a set of n elements. 
We can find n! (factorial) of the n element. 
However, combination of the element lead to less than n! possibilities. 
(combining like adding or multiplying)
So the proposition is false.

Given ​ f(x)=x^2+12x+26 ​.
lapo4ka [179]

f(x)=x^2+12x+26

Vertex form of f(x) = a(x-h)^2 +k

We change f(x) into vertex form using completing the square method

f(x)=x^2+12x+26

We take half of square of middle term

middle term is 12

Half of square of 12 is \frac{12}{2}=6 then 6^2 = 36

Add and subtract 36 to complete the square

f(x)=(x^2+12x+36)+26-36

f(x)= (x+6)^2 +26 - 36 f(x)= (x+6)^2 -10

The vertex form f(x)= (x+6)^2 -10

BartSMP [9]
Let x be a random variable representing the number of skateboards produced
a.) P(x ≤ 20,555) = P(z ≤ (20,555 - 20,500)/55) = P(z ≤ 1) = 0.84134 = 84.1%

b.) P(x ≥ 20,610) = P(z ≥ (20,610 - 20,500)/55) = P(z ≥ 2) = 1 - P(z < 2) = 1 - 0.97725 = 0.02275 = 2.3%

c.) P(x ≤ 20,445) = P(z ≤ (20,445 - 20,500)/55) = P(z ≤ -1) = 1 - P(z ≤ 1) = 1 - 0.84134 = 0.15866 = 15.9%

True [87]
20%

This is because 20 and it's opposite -20 is 40. (20 - -20 = 40). Then 40 is 20% of 200.
