Prentice Hall Algebra 2
  1. Error Analysis A student tries to show that sine open eh plus b close equals sine eh plus sine b is true by letting eh equals , 120 degrees and b equals 240 degrees . Why is the student's reasoning not correct?

    Error analysis: sine (120 degrees + 240 degrees) = sine 360 degrees = 0, sine 120 degrees + sine 240 degrees = (radical 3, over 2) + negative (radical 3, over 2) = 0.

C Challenge
