WILL FAN AND MEDAL RIGHT AWAY! MULTIPLE CHOICE

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@nnesha please help ill medal and fan!

Nnesha (nnesha):

do you know what are `like terms ` (f+g)(x) is same as f(x) +g(x) so just add both functions :=))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so would that be option 4?

Nnesha (nnesha):

please why do you think its D ?? :=))

Nnesha (nnesha):

explain **

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because of the like terms in it

Nnesha (nnesha):

what are the like terms ?? last question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x2, x:) 2

Nnesha (nnesha):

those are terms in the equation but what are the `like terms` ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i thought they were it

Nnesha (nnesha):

f(x)= x^2 + 3 and g(x) = x -1 what two terms you can combine from both function ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

option 1?:)

Nnesha (nnesha):

hmm that's not answer of my question i don't want you to guess it :=)) like term: terms withe identical variable and exponent you can't combine x^2 and x both are NOT like terms you can combine 2x+3x both terms have the same variable with same power you can combine 5-4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont know:-/

Nnesha (nnesha):

\[\huge\rm \color{ReD}{f(x)} +\color{blue}{g(x)} \rightarrow \color{Red}{ x^2+3 } + \color{blue}{x-1}\]

Nnesha (nnesha):

what are like terms ?^^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its option one! because x3-x2+3x-3!!!!

Nnesha (nnesha):

no.

Nnesha (nnesha):

reread what i said. can you combine x^2 and x ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no....

Nnesha (nnesha):

right can you combine 3 and x ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yyyess?

Nnesha (nnesha):

like terms are contain same variables and raised to the same power x is a variable but 3 is alone so we CAN'T combine 3 and x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x3-3 then because of the threes?

Nnesha (nnesha):

it's x to the 3rd power and -3 you can't combine them

Nnesha (nnesha):

\[\huge\rm \color{ReD}{f(x)} +\color{blue}{g(x)} \rightarrow \color{Red}{ x^2+3 } + \color{blue}{x-1}\] what are like terms in this expression ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x,g,f...

Nnesha (nnesha):

\[\huge\rm \color{Red}{ x^2+3 } + \color{blue}{x-1}\] what are like terms in this expression ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3 and -1

Nnesha (nnesha):

RIGHT! 3 and -1 are like terms you can combine them that's it!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its option three! cause -2 and 4??

Nnesha (nnesha):

\[\huge\rm \color{Red}{ x^2+3 } + \color{blue}{x-1}\] do you see number 2 and 4 in this expression ?

Nnesha (nnesha):

3 and -1 are like terms so combine 3-1 = ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2

Nnesha (nnesha):

right and since x^2 and x are not like terms you cna't combine them those stay terms would stay in their place :=))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh got it:) my first guess was right, option 4

Nnesha (nnesha):

yes but it was ` guess` i hope you understand the definition of `like terms`

Nnesha (nnesha):
