That actually breaks my heart. There are so many mistakes. Here there are:
Please tell me you made this up yourself and theres actually noone who thinks thats the way it works.
😂😂😂😂
I nearly had a stroke watching the wrong solution
Great sequel to the “10 most common mistakes video”
Solution
2x³-7x²-2x=2x
Errors:
you cannot distribute powers over addition
1-the square roots were messed up, the 2 was also supposed to have the square root
This gave me a headache.
Just when I thought it couldn’t get any worse, it did.
First mistake I found is dividing by x. This is assuming x = 0 is not a solution but since every term has an x in it x= 0 is a valid solution. The student has therefore lost a perfectly valid solution, which is ironic since in hindsight the student actually found x = 0 as the solution which should have rang alarm bells as we can't divide by zero.
logarithms do not distribute over addition
Ok so I haven’t done logarithms yet but I have found a few errors up to when the logs come in:
1. in line 3, you square rooted the term: 2(x^2), which you simplified to 2x. This should simplify to sqrt(2)*x.
Since x = 0 is one of the solutions by looking at equation,
This polynomial equation should have 3 solutions
There will be an identity of (a-b)^2= a^2+b^2-2ab
