Determine Kelsey's error and correct it:

4x+ 5x2 = 9x4

Kelsey incorrectly added the exponents. The correction should be:

4x+ 5x2 = 9x2

Determine Enrique's mistake and correct it: 

4x3 + 5x3 + x2= 20x3 + x2

Enrique multiplied the coefficients instead of adding them. It should be:

4x3 + 5x3 + x2= 9x3 + x2

Add the following polynomials:

(3x3-x2+1) + (x3+2x2-4)

4x3+x2-3

Determine Jose's error and correct it:


4x - (3x -2) = 4x - 3x -2 = x-2

Jose forgot to distribute the negative to the -2. It should be: 

4x - (3x -2) = 4x - 3x +2 = x +2

Determine Irene's mistake and correct it:

2x(x-4) = 3x2-6x

Irene is adding the coefficients inserted of multiplying them. It should be:

2x(x-4) = 2x2-8x

Determine Rocio's mistake and correct it:

(x+3)2 = x2 + 9

Rocio squared each term instead of squaring the whole polynomial. It should be: 

(x+3)2 = (x+3)(x+3) = x2+3x+3x+ 9 = x2 +6x +9
