WILL GIVE MEDAL Subtract 2c^2 + 3c - 4 from 0.

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

So \(0-2c^2+3c-4\)?

OpenStudy (natsent06):

yep i think

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

no

OpenStudy (natsent06):

not really

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

"Subtract 2c^2 + 3c - 4 from 0" means \(\large\color{black}{ 0-(2c^2 + 3c - 4) }\)

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Oh yes. ^

OpenStudy (natsent06):

A) -2c2 + 3c - 4 B) -2c2 - 3c + 4 C) -2c2 - 3c - 4 D) -2c2 + 3c + 4

OpenStudy (natsent06):

>?

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

\(0-(2c^2+3c-4)\) means to multiply everything inside the parentheses by -1, then subtract it from 0.

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

for example: \(\large\color{black}{ -(x^3+x-31)~~~\Longrightarrow ~~~-x^3-x+31}\)

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

do the same to yours: \(\large\color{black}{-(2c^2+3c-4)~~~~\Longrightarrow }\)

OpenStudy (natsent06):

so i think the answer is a

OpenStudy (natsent06):

does that sound correct?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

nope, it is not a.

OpenStudy (natsent06):

:/

OpenStudy (natsent06):

i got -11

OpenStudy (natsent06):

?

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

If you are multiplying by -1, you are basically going to change all of the signs. Negative becomes positive, and positive becomes negative.

OpenStudy (natsent06):

so b?

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

yes

OpenStudy (sleepyjess):

Yes

OpenStudy (natsent06):
