Question

Please double check my answers? If they're wrong can you explain how to do it right? My math book doesn't have examples for all of these scenarios and I really don't want to fail this assignment. I don't normally look for help online, but I'm kinda desperate.

Answer 1

1. Was D
4. Was D
10. Was C

You were correct and I passed :) Thank you.

Answer 2

Sorry. It looked normal when I first posted it. I don't know what happened. Thank you for the answer, though!

Answer 3

Don't know where you copied the problems from, but the font got garbled for many of the problems. Anyway, trying to work past the font munging,

* means wrong

1. garbled, but probably B or D
2. C if outside is -15�F
3. B if it was (2x + 3)(x - 4)
4. garbled, but since 7 divides 84, probably C or D
5. garbled, but probably C - the coefficients seem good
6. B
7. D if it was (5+4-2)(-2)
*8. C if it was (2e-2f)(2f+8)
9. B
10. A or C, but too garbled
11. C if (x^2+16)(x^2-16) = x^4-256
12. B
13. C
*14. D garbled, but if the whole parenthesized expression is squared, then the coefficient must be 64, not -64. Also, (A) has q^9, which cannot be a square.
15. B
16. B
17. D
18. C
19. D
20. A

most look good; better double-check #8,14. If I interpreted them correctly, yo missed them.

Answer 4
