Substituting x=−3 inx2−5x+4
Substituting x=−3 in x2+5x gives 32+5(−3)=−9−15=−24.
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
Find and correct the errors in the following mathematical statement, Substituting x=−3 in x2+5x+4 gives (−3)2+5(−3)+4=9+2+4=15
