Question

Which of the following expressions is not equivalent to the others?

A)p−3+2⋅1
B)(p+0)⋅1+1/3⋅3
C)(p+0)−4/3⋅3/4
D)(p⋅1/4⋅4)−1

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To determine which expression is not equivalent to the others, let's simplify each expression:

A) p−3+2⋅1 = p-3+2 = p-1

B) (p+0)⋅1+1/3⋅3 = p⋅1 + 1/3⋅3 = p + 1

C) (p+0)−4/3⋅3/4 = p - 4/3⋅3/4 = p - 1

D) (p⋅1/4⋅4)−1 = p⋅1 - 1 = p - 1

From the simplifications, we can see that all the expressions are equivalent to p-1 except for expression B (p + 1). Therefore, the answer is B) (p+0)⋅1+1/3⋅3.
