Use v = 3 and v = 6to determine if the expressions 4 + 2(1) = 4 and 1 are true? Check all that apply.

a) The value of both expressions when v = 3 is 13.
b) The value of both expressions when v = 3 is 22.
c) The value of both expressions when v = 6 is 23.
d) The value of both expressions when v is 1.
e) The expressions are equivalent.
f) The expressions are not equivalent.

Final answer:

After evaluating the expressions '4 + 2v' and 'v^2' for v = 3 and v = 6, it is clear that the expressions are not equivalent and the values for the given instances of v do not match any of the provided statements, confirming that option (f) is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to clarify the original expressions to evaluate. There seems to be a typo in the question, as the expressions provided "4 + 2(1) = 4 and 1" do not contain the variable v. I will assume that the expressions meant are "4 + 2v" and "v^2", which commonly appear in algebraic problems. Let's check if these expressions are equivalent and what their values are when v = 3 and v = 6.

When v = 3:

  • The expression 4 + 2v becomes 4 + 2(3) which is 4 + 6 = 10.
  • The expression v^2 becomes (3)^2 which is 9.

When v = 6:

  • Using 4 + 2v, we get 4 + 2(6) which is 4 + 12 = 16.
  • And v^2 as (6)^2 gives us 36.

Based on our calculations:

  • (a) is incorrect because both expressions do not equal 13 when v = 3.
  • (b) is incorrect as neither expression equals 22 for v = 3.
  • (c) is incorrect because the expressions do not equal 23 when v = 6.
  • (d) does not apply as no value for v of 1 was used in the question.
  • (e) is incorrect because the expressions 4 + 2v and v^2 are not equivalent, as shown by their different values for v = 3 and v = 6.
  • (f) is correct since the expressions are not equivalent.
