Question 272788: Categorize each mathematical statement as either always true or never true.
Select your answer from the pull-down list.
2x + 1 = 2x – 1 =not true
1 – 1/x = 1 + x =Always True
(a – b)c = ac – bc =not true
Are my answers correct and if not why? Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 2x + 1 = 2x – 1 =not true
Correct
-----------------------------------
1 – 1/x = 1 + x =Always True
True when x = -1/x
x^2 = -1
x = +/-i
Conclusion: Never True
-----------------------------------
(a – b)c = ac – bc =not true
This is the distributive law for Real Numbers
Always true
