Description: Ross said that if $(x-a)(x-b)=0$ means that $(x-a)=0$ or $(x-b)=0$ , then $(x-a)(x-b)=2$ means that $(x-a)=2$ or $(x-b)=2 .$ Do you agree with Ross? Explain why or why not.

Question

Ross said that if $(x-a)(x-b)=0$ means that $(x-a)=0$ or $(x-b)=0$ , then $(x-a)(x-b)=2$ means that $(x-a)=2$ or $(x-b)=2 .$ Do you agree with Ross? Explain why or why not.

in this question says that Ross said that if exercise a times X minus people zero, it means that X minus a. It&#x27;s nice A equals zero or X minus people zero. And that is true, he&#x27;s saying. Then if we have on that special right, do we have X minus a times X minus B peoples to it means that X minus A equals two or X minus. People&#x27;s too. And our job is to say, If we agree, why not so kind of looking at its surface? You might think OK, by that same logic, that must be true. What thing is with zero, if you have zero times, any number is going to equal zero. But that&#x27;s not the same for two. If we have two times four is going to give us eight, it&#x27;s not going to give us that, too. So we can&#x27;t just say, Oh, if X minus Abel&#x27;s Tu auras when people&#x27;s too that&#x27;s disregarding with the other term is that&#x27;s not something that we know for certain is true. Zero. We know that one of them has to be zero, because zero times anything is zero with two. That is not the case, we could have something like one of them equals 1/2 and one of them equals four. Or we have, ah one over eight times 16. That will still give us too. So you can&#x27;t assume that as mine is able to or five meals a two because that means you&#x27;re also assuming the other term must be equal to one which get assumptions that you cannot make.

So what&#x27;s to know that X minus eight times X minus B times X minus e equals zero. Does excellent able zero O r x minus B zero or X minus E zero. Yes, it is saying the same thing because zero times anything equals Europe. So in this case, if X minus a equal zero, the whole thing when he was here or in X minus B was here. The whole thing equals zero. Or next time seek was here the holding with equal zero they&#x27;re or yes, because any of the three terms equal zero the whole day with equal zero because of the zero product, well,

All right, So this question is asking us, Okay, if eight of the zero plus eight of the zero is equal to to a 20 So that&#x27;s what Tony says and they want to know which is equal to two. They want to know if we agree. And while the answer does come out correct, really, our order of operations is parentheses than exponents, and eight of the zero is one plus. Another one is equal to two. So while the answers do show up and end up being the same, you really want to do the exponents part first.

something. This question asking us is Matthew correct or not? And saying that a over B plus C over D is equal to a D plus B c over a beauty and Matthew is correct because, uh, to get a common denominator from you and you to multiply the first fraction by D over D, which gives us a D over VD. And then this is being added to the common denominator. For the second fraction would be be Overby Time CD, which becomes this and adding these two fractions together. It gets you, Matt.

in this exercise, we have that X corpse, be ecstasy is a polynomial and that this person, Rita, is saying that we only have real roots when B squared is greater than or equal to four a. C. And so this is a true statement. We agree with what Rita is saying because we&#x27;re doing the quadratic formula and we have opposite B plus or minus the square root of B squared minus for a seat over to a That&#x27;s our route. So when we have the script on this for a C for this route to be riel, this has to be greater than equal zero. So you could say B squared minus for a C Square than or equal zero and tow ad for a suitable sides we end up at B squared is greater than or equal to four a. C. So if this is true, it means that our roots are riel. So it Rita saying, is indeed correct

Okay, So Kim stated the colon and were asked, Is it true? Well, we say 85 0.8 of Arzo is equal to 85 0 put so Well, this isn&#x27;t true, because this is a product rule, which is 85 several times £80. Okay. And what we have here, this is a zero exponents and each of these air equal to one. So we have one plus one, which is equal to two, and that&#x27;s not equal to one. So Kim statement is full.
