Question 10 Find and correct the errors in the following mathematical statements. Substituting x = ā 3 in (a) š„^2 + 5x + 4 gives ć"(ā 3)" ć^2+ 5 (ā 3) + 4 = 9 + 2 + 4 = 15 š„^2 + 5x + 4 Putting x = ā3 = ć(ā3)ć^2 + 5 (ā3) + 4 = (ā3 Ć ā3) ā (5 Ć 3) + 4 = 9 ā 15 + 4 = ā 2 So, (ā3)2 + 5(ā3) + 4 = ā2 is the correct statement Question 10 Find and correct the errors in the following mathematical statements. Substituting x = ā 3 in (b) š„^2 ā 5x + 4 gives ć"(ā 3)" ć^2ā 5 ( ā 3) + 4 = 9 ā 15 + 4 = ā 2 š„^2 + 5x + 4 Putting x = ā3 = ć(ā3)ć^2 ā 5 (ā3) + 4 = (ā3 Ć ā3) + (5 Ć 3) + 4 = 9 + 15 + 4 = 28 So, (ā3)2 ā 5(ā3) + 4 = 28 is the correct statement Question 10 Find and correct the errors in the following mathematical statements. Substituting x = ā 3 in (c) š„^2+ 5x gives ć"(ā 3)" ć^2+ 5 (ā3) = ā 9 ā 15 = ā 24 š„^2 + 5x Putting x = ā3 = ć(ā3)ć^2 + 5 (ā3) = (ā3 Ć ā3) ā (5 Ć 3) = 9 ā 15 = ā6 So, (ā3)2 + 5(ā3) = ā6 is the correct statement
