A student solves the following equation and determines that the solution is −2. Is the student correct? Explain. 3/a + 2 − 6a/a2 − 4 = 1/a − 2

No, the student did not check the solution to the derived equation in the original equation.

No, a possible solution is a = –2, but it does not check in the original equation because it makes two of the denominators equal to zero.

No, a = –2 is an extraneous solution, and there is no solution to the original rational equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

just did on edge good luck!

the answer   is 200

step-by-step explanation:

this is a problem about poisson probabilities.   i don't know if you've

already studied poisson distributions, or if you have a place to look

to read more about the subject.  

here's how you can see a poisson distribution coming.   when there are

a lot of events that may happen at any time (or any place), and when

you're counting how many of them happen at a particular time (or a

particular place), and each event is independent of the others, then

the result is a poisson distribution.   this is roughly true for the

chocolate chips; one chip being in a cookie has only a small effect on

the probability that another chip will be in the cookie.

once you know you have a poisson distribution, you know a lot.   there

is only one parameter to a poisson distribution, so if you know the

mean, you know everything.   the form of the distribution is

  probability of n chips = {[e^(-x)]*(x^n)} / (n! )

5x+2x=49

7x=49
