1: True or False. Explain your answer.
To solve the equation x^2 = 8x, we divide each side by x.
False. The equation is quadratic and has two solutions.
Dividing by "x" would leave you with a linear equation
with only one solution.
---------------------------
2: True or False. Explain your answer:
a^2+b^2/ a+b reduced to lowest terms is a + b.
False: (a+b) is not a factor of a^2+b^2 so it
cannot divide a^2 + b^2.
