If A=3+5x+7x2,B=-4-7x+x2,C=4+5x-8x2
Find A+B+C?
To add two or more algebraic expressions, group the like term of the expressions and add each group of like terms separately.
A+B+C=(3+5x+7x2)+(-4-7x+x2)+(4+5x-8x2)=(3-4+4)+(5x-7x+5x)+(7x2+x2-8x2)(groupingtheliketerms)=3+(10x-7x)+(8x2-8x2)=3+3x
Hence, the required solution is3x+3
Find and correct the errors in the following mathematical statement. Substituting x = −3 in
(a) x2 + 5x + 4 gives (−3)2 + 5 (−3) + 4 = 9 + 2 + 4 = 15
(b) x2 − 5x + 4 gives (−3)2 − 5 (−3) + 4 = 9 − 15 + 4 = −2
(c) x2 + 5x gives (−3)2 + 5 (−3) = −9 − 15 = −24
