Polynomial Anatomy & Standard Form (Key)

Answer Key & Question 20 Analysis

15. \(5x - 7 + 3x^2\)3\(3x^2 + 5x - 7\)23-7
16. \(9 - 4x^3\)2\(-4x^3 + 9\)3-49
17. \(8x + 15x^4 - 2x^2 + 1\)4\(15x^4 - 2x^2 + 8x + 1\)4151

19. \(-x^3 + 5x^5 - 12\)3\(5x^5 - x^3 - 12\)55-12

20. Benchmark Question Solution & Trap Rationale Correct Answer: B (\(3x^4 - 2x^2 + 5x - 7\))

Condition Check: Degree = 4 (highest power is \(x^4\)), Leading Coefficient = 3 (coefficient of \(x^4\)), Constant = \(-7\).

  • Choice A Trap: \(3x^2 - 2x^4 + 5x - 7\) is not in standard form. In standard form, it is \(-2x^4 + 3x^2 + 5x - 7\); thus, the leading coefficient is \(-2\), not \(3\)!
  • Choice B (Correct): Already in standard form: degree 4, leading coefficient 3, constant \(-7\).
  • Choice C: Leading coefficient is \(-7\) and constant is \(+5\).
  • Choice D: Constant is \(+7\), failing the condition of \(-7\).

21. Error Analysis Solution:

Correction: Expression must be arranged in standard form first: \(10 - 3x + 8x^3 \implies 8x^3 - 3x + 10\). Therefore, Degree = 3 (from \(8x^3\)), Leading Coeff. = 8, and Constant = 10.

22. Trinomial of Degree 3 Key:

Degree 3, 3 terms, leading coeff \(-4\), constant \(9\).

Sample Answers:

\(-4x^3 + 2x + 9\)  or  \(-4x^3 - 5x^2 + 9\)

23. Simplification & TI-Nspire:

\(3(2x-4)-5(x^2-2x+1)\)

\(=\mathbf{-5x^2 + 16x - 17}\)

TI-Nspire: Store \(x:=3\) → both evaluate to \(-14\). True!

Solving Multi-Step Linear Equations (Worked Key)

Problems 24 – 31 Solutions

24. \(5(2x - 3) - 7x = 12\) \(x = 9\)

\(10x - 15 - 7x = 12 \implies 3x - 15 = 12\)

\(3x = 27 \implies \mathbf{x = 9}\)

Check: \(5(18-3)-63 = 75-63 = 12 \checkmark\)

25. \(8 - 3(x + 4) = 2x - 19\) \(x = 3\)

\(8 - 3x - 12 = 2x - 19 \implies -3x - 4 = 2x - 19\)

\(-5x = -15 \implies \mathbf{x = 3}\)

Check: \(8-3(7) = -13\); \(2(3)-19 = -13 \checkmark\)

26. \(0.6(2x - 4) - 0.2(3x + 1) = 1.6\) \(x = 7\)

\(1.2x - 2.4 - 0.6x - 0.2 = 1.6\)

\(0.6x - 2.6 = 1.6 \implies 0.6x = 4.2 \implies \mathbf{x = 7}\)

Check: \(0.6(10) - 0.2(22) = 6 - 4.4 = 1.6 \checkmark\)

27. \(4(2x - 1) - 3(x + 5) = 2(x - 3) + 5\) \(x = 6\)

\(8x - 4 - 3x - 15 = 2x - 6 + 5\)

\(5x - 19 = 2x - 1 \implies 3x = 18 \implies \mathbf{x = 6}\)

Check: \(4(11)-3(11)=11\); \(2(3)+5=11 \checkmark\)

28. \(\frac{3x - 5}{4} = \frac{x + 7}{2}\) \(x = 19\)

\(2(3x - 5) = 4(x + 7) \implies 6x - 10 = 4x + 28\)

\(2x = 38 \implies \mathbf{x = 19}\)

Check: \(\frac{52}{4} = 13\); \(\frac{26}{2} = 13 \checkmark\)

29. \(\frac{2}{3}(6x - 9) = 3(x + 1) - 8\) \(x = 1\)

\(4x - 6 = 3x + 3 - 8 \implies 4x - 6 = 3x - 5\)

\(4x - 3x = -5 + 6 \implies \mathbf{x = 1}\)

Check: \(\frac{2}{3}(-3) = -2\); \(3(2)-8 = -2 \checkmark\)

30. \(4(3x - 2) = 2(6x + 5)\) No Solution (\(\emptyset\))

\(12x - 8 = 12x + 10 \implies 12x - 12x = 10 + 8\)

\(-8 = 10\) (Contradiction/False)

No value of \(x\) makes this true → \(\mathbf{No\ Solution}\)

31. \(6x - 2(x - 5) = 4(x + 2) + 2\) Infinitely Many

\(6x - 2x + 10 = 4x + 8 + 2 \implies 4x + 10 = 4x + 10\)

\(10 = 10\) (Identity/Always True)

All real numbers are solutions → \(\mathbf{Infinitely\ Many}\)

Solving & Graphing Linear Inequalities (Key)

Problems 32 – 38 Solutions

Golden Rule: When you divide both sides by a negative number, you MUST reverse (flip) the inequality symbol!

32. \(-2(3x - 5) + 4 < 26\) Solution: \(x > -2\)

\(-6x + 10 + 4 < 26 \implies -6x + 14 < 26\)

\(-6x < 12 \implies \mathbf{x > -2}\) (FLIP < to > when dividing by -6!)

Graph Solution:

-5-4-3-2-101

33. \(4(2x - 3) - 5x \ge 6\) Solution: \(x \ge 6\)

\(8x - 12 - 5x \ge 6 \implies 3x - 12 \ge 6\)

\(3x \ge 18 \implies \mathbf{x \ge 6}\) (Dividing by positive 3: do NOT flip)

Graph Solution:

3456789

34. \(\frac{5 - 2x}{3} \ge 7\) Solution: \(x \le -8\)

\(5 - 2x \ge 21 \implies -2x \ge 16\)

\(\mathbf{x \le -8}\) (FLIP ≥ to ≤ when dividing by -2!)

Graph Solution:

-11-10-9-8-7-6-5

35. \(-0.4(5x - 10) - 3 \ge 9\) Solution: \(x \le -4\)

\(-2x + 4 - 3 \ge 9 \implies -2x + 1 \ge 9\)

\(-2x \ge 8 \implies \mathbf{x \le -4}\) (FLIP ≥ to ≤ when dividing by -2!)

Graph Solution:

-7-6-5-4-3-2-1

36. \(5x - 7 < 2(x + 4) + 3\) Solution: \(x < 6\)

\(5x - 7 < 2x + 8 + 3 \implies 5x - 7 < 2x + 11\)

\(3x < 18 \implies \mathbf{x < 6}\) (Dividing by positive 3: do NOT flip)

Graph Solution:

3456789

37. Solution & Trap Rationale Answer: D (\(k=5\))

\(-5(k - 2) + 4 < -6 \implies -5k + 14 < -6\)

\(-5k < -20 \implies k > 4\) (flipped symbol!)

Choice C (\(k=4\)) is a boundary trap. Only D (\(k=5\)) satisfies \(k > 4\).

38. Solution & Trap Rationale Answer: D (\(m \ge 10\))

\(4(2 - 3m) \le -2(5m + 6) \implies 8 - 12m \le -10m - 12\)

\(-2m \le -20 \implies m \ge 10\) (flip symbol!)

Forgetting to reverse \(\le\) to \(\ge\) leads to incorrect Choice C (\(m \le 10\)).
