I don't see a -1/2p(p)...that would be -1/2(p^2) but I don't see where p is multiplied by p in this problem... unless I'm misunderstanding what you typed above?
I got it but every single time I check it my answer is wrong! Here are my steps:
3/8[13/12-8/1]+1/8[13/12]=-1/2[13/12-7/1] 13/32-3/1+19/96=-13/24--7/2 13/32-96/32+13/96=-13/24+7/2 -73/32+13/96=-13/24+98/24 -216/96+13/96=85/24 206/96=85/24 I know this can not be right! every time i do it the answer is different! please help
Well, your check step is providing you with valuable information... your solution is wrong... 13/12 is NOT the answer... so recap your solution steps and let's see where things went wrong.
There is no Unit 3 Test Booster... at least not yet anyway. I'm banking that with this special group, no one will need it!!
As for the 13,14,15,16 thing... I already told you guys I'm not very good with numbers. I figured an ambitious young maven like yourself (Kevin) would want to do some extra problems... am I right??
As for your question on hw, probelm sets, etc. the answer is YUP!

For number seven i do not know -1/2p(p) is. is it -1/2p still
ReplyDeleteIn the expression -1/2(p - 7) you should DISTRIBUTE the -1/2 the way you would any other multiplier... e.g.
ReplyDelete-1/2(p - 7)
(-1/2)(p) - (-1/2)(7)
-1/2(p) - (-7/2)
-1/2(p) + 7/2
ca-peesh??

ReplyDelete3/8[13/12-8/1]+1/8[13/12]=-1/2[13/12-7/1]
13/32-3/1+19/96=-13/24--7/2
13/32-96/32+13/96=-13/24+7/2
-73/32+13/96=-13/24+98/24
-216/96+13/96=85/24

ReplyDeletehiya.....if we study our problem sets, homework, and quiz. do ya think we are good to take the test
ReplyDeleteoh.....and i looked at the website...and i don't see anything/hints about the unit test 3 booster.
