Find the errors and correct the following mathematical sentences
Substitute x = – 3 in
(a) x2 + 7x + 12 = (–3)2 + 7 (–3) + 12 = 9 + 4 + 12 = 25
If LHS is
x2 + 7x + 12
Then RHS would be
⇒ x2 + 7x + 12
Putting x = (-3)
= (–3)2 + 7 (–3) + 12
= 9 + (-21) + 12
= 21-21
= 0
The error is (-21) instead of 4 and end result 0 instead of 25
Hence putting x = (-3) in x2 + 7x + 12 results to 0
