OpenStudy (anonymous):

it is so simple i just want to make sure im not missing anything.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@jdoe0001 hey could you check this really quick?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

that's correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay great. thank you!

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hmm hold the mayo

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ah okay

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

the negative only would multiply the numerator NOT the denominator or the denominator, BUT not the numerator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmmm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why is that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

could it be C then?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

lemme do it quick

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

\(-f(a)\implies -\left(\cfrac{2a}{a-1}\right)\to \begin{cases} -\cfrac{2a}{a-1}\to \cfrac{-2a}{a-1}\\ -\cfrac{2a}{a-1}\to \cfrac{2a}{-(a-1)}\to \cfrac{2a}{-a+1}\to -\cfrac{2a}{a+1} \end{cases}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ah okay, so it would be C. i see what you got. thank you!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it said it was incorrect..hmm

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

C?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah..i wonder why.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i may send it to my teacher and see if she can tell me why.

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

well... B or C fit the bill as far as I can see it, -f(a) simply means -1 * f(a) or \(\bf \cfrac{-1}{1}\times \cfrac{2a}{a-1}\quad or\quad \cfrac{1}{-1}\times \cfrac{2a}{a-1}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah i got what you did when i solved it. i think i will ask her why it said it was incorrect.

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):
