Answer:

The possible values for the variable in the expression are -1, 1, -2, 0, -3, 2, -1, 0, 1.

All the options (a, b, c, d) are true.

Explanation:

To find the possible values for the variable in the expression 3 - 2x √(1 - x), we need to consider the restrictions on the domain of the square root function (√).

For the expression 3 - 2x √(1 - x) to be defined, the expression inside the square root (√(1 - x)) must be greater than or equal to zero.

This is because the square root of a negative number is not a real number.

So, let's solve the inequality 1 - x ≥ 0:

1 - x ≥ 0

x ≤ 1

This means that x can take any value less than or equal to 1.

Therefore, the possible values for the variable in the expression are:

a. -1, 1 (since both -1 and 1 are less than or equal to 1)

b. -2, 0 (since both -2 and 0 are less than or equal to 1)

c. -3, 2 (since both -3 and 2 are less than or equal to 1)

d. -1, 0, 1 (since all three values are less than or equal to 1)

Therefore,

All the options (a, b, c, d) have the correct possible values for the variable in the expression.
