A student performed the following steps to find the solution to the equation
X2 - 2x - 8 = 0. Where did the student go wrong?
Step 1. Factor the polynomial into (x - 4) and (x - 2)
Step 2. X-4 = 0 and x - 2 = 0
Step 3. x = 4 and x = 2
A. in Step 2
B. in Step 1
C. The student did not make any mistakes, the solution is correct
D. in Step 3
Answer:(b) step 1
Step-by-step explanation:
The wrong step in the student's workings is step 1
How to determine the wrong step?The equation is given as:
x^2 - 2x - 8 = 0
Expand the equation
x^2 + 2x - 4x - 8 = 0
Factorize the equation
x(x + 2)- 4(x + 2)
Factor out x + 2
(x - 4)(x + 2) = 0
The above means that the factored equation of x^2 - 2x - 8 = 0 is (x - 4)(x + 2) = 0
This means that the step 1 of the student's step is wrong and incorrect

Find the value of X AND Y: Show your work.
We are given:
AB = 7x + 10
BD = 9x - 2
∠DBC = 9y - 9
∠ABC = 90°
AB = BD
Solving for x:
We are given that AB = BD
7x + 10 = 9x - 2 [since AB = 7x+10 and BD = 9x-2]
10 = 2x - 2 [subtracting 7x from both sides]
2x = 12 [adding 2 on both sides]
x = 6 [dividing both sides by 2]
Hence, x = 6
Solving for y:_______________________________________________
We know that AD is a straight line,
So, ∠ABC and ∠DBC must form a linear pair
∠ABC + ∠DBC = 180°
90 + 9y-9 = 180
9y - 9 = 90 [subtracting 90 from both sides]
9y = 99 [adding 9 on both sides]
y = 11 [dividing both sides by 9]
Hence, y = 11

Use VSEPR to predict the electron-pair geometry of N2.
A)
linear
B)
trigonal planar
C)
tetrahedral
D)
trigonal bipyramidal
Answer:
tetrahedral
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the valence shell electron pair repulsion theory (VSEPR) the shape of a molecule is dependent on the number of electron pairs on the valence shell of the central atom in the molecule.
The predicted electron pair geometry may sometimes differ from the molecular geometry due to the presence of lone pairs and multiple bonds.
If we consider each nitrogen atom in N2 independently, we will notice that each nitrogen atom has four regions of electron density. Hence the electron pair geometry is tetrahedral.

Answer:
Slope of the graph is steeper.
The answer is: [tex]\mathbf{Slope=\frac{1}{3}}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
First we will find slope of the graph.
The formula used to find slope is: [tex]Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
We need to find two points from the graph to find the slope.
Let we take point 1 (-2,1) and point 2 (1,2)
We will have: [tex]x_1=-2, y_1=1, x_2=1, y_2=2[/tex]
Now finding slope of the graph
[tex]Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\Slope=\frac{2-1}{1-(-2)} \\Slope=\frac{2-1}{1+2}\\Slope=\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
So, slope of the graph is: [tex]\mathbf{Slope=\frac{1}{3}}[/tex]
Now, we will find slope of Linear function.
It has x-intercept of 1 and y-intercept of -2
x-intercept means y=0
So, the point will be: (1,0)
y-intercept means x=0
So, the point will be: (0,-2)
We will have: [tex]x_1=1, y_1=0, x_2=0, y_2=-2[/tex]
Putting values and finding slope
[tex]Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\Slope=\frac{-2-0}{0-(1)} \\Slope=\frac{-2-0}{0+1}\\Slope=\frac{-2}{1}\\Slope=-2[/tex]
So, the slope of linear function is: [tex]\mathbf{Slope=-2}[/tex]
Now, we need to find which of the slope is steeper.
The larger the value of slope, more steeper it is:
Now, comparing the slopes:
The slope of the graph is: [tex]\mathbf{Slope=\frac{1}{3}}[/tex]
The slope of linear function is: [tex]\mathbf{Slope=-2}[/tex]
We know that, [tex]\frac{1}{3}>-2[/tex]
So, Slope of the graph is steeper.
The answer is: [tex]\mathbf{Slope=\frac{1}{3}}[/tex]

Every day Jin reads for 0.75 hours in the morning and 1.25 hours in the evening. He uses the expression 0.75d+1.25d to keep track of the number of hours he has read for any number of days, d. If Jin reads for 20 days, how many hours has he read?
Answer: 40 hours.
Step-by-step explanation: You can combine the like terms 0.75d and 1.25d to make 2d. 2 hours times 20 days is 40 hours.

Determine the intercepts of the line
7x-5=4y-6
x intercepts: ( , )
y intercepts: ( , )
Answer:
x-intercept: -1/7
y-intercept: 1/4
Step-by-step explanation:
change equation into standard form: 7x - 4y = -1
set 'x' to zero and solve for y: 0 - 4y = -1
y = 1/4
set 'y' to zero and solve for x: 7x - 0 = -1
x = -1/7

Answer:
5 3/4
Step-by-step explanation:
I have this problem too and in the same website too. It told us the total length of all of the flowers, so we add 1/8 + 1/4 + 3/8 + 3/8 + 3/8 + 3/8 + 1/2 + 1/2 + 5/8 + 5/8 + 3/4 + 7/8 and it was equal to 5 3/4
