Question
10. Why is the problem wrong? What step did the student make a mistake on and what should have the step said instead.
Problem (Find the solution(s) for the following equation):
2x3 + 6x2 – 8x
2x3 + 6x2 - 8x - 24 = 0
2(x3 + 3x2 – 4x – 12) = 0
2((x3 + 3x?)(-4x – 12)) = 0
2(x² (x + 3) – 4(x + 3)) = 0
2(x? (x + 3) – 4(x + 3)) = 0
2(x2 + 3)(x – 4) = 0
(x2 + 3) = 0
x2 = -3
= 24
