*********************************************
Question: `q001. Explain the difference between x - 2 / x + 4 and (x - 2) / (x + 4). Then evaluate each expression for x = 2.
YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Your solution:
Because of the order of operations, in the first case you have x – (2 divided by x) + 4 whereas in the second case you have the sum of x-2 divided by the sum of x+4
1) 2 – 2/2 + 4=
2-1+4=
1+4=
=5
2) (2-2) / (2+4) =
0 / 6 =
=0
