Answer 1

See explanation

Explanation:

Given two expressions:

`2(s+0.5)+2(s+1.5)`

and

`4\left((1)/(2)s+(1)/(4)s\right)+4`

a. When
`s=0,`

then

`2(s+0.5)+2(s+1.5)=2(0+0.5)+2(0+1.5)=1+3=4`

and

`4\left((1)/(2)s+(1)/(4)s\right)+4=4\left((1)/(2)\cdot 0+(1)/(4)\cdot 0\right)+4=4`

b. When
`s=12,`

then

`2(s+0.5)+2(s+1.5)=2(12+0.5)+2(12+1.5)=2\cdot 12.5+2\cdot 13.5=25+27=52`

and

`4\left((1)/(2)s+(1)/(4)s\right)+4=4\left((1)/(2)\cdot 12+(1)/(4)\cdot 12\right)+4=4(6+3)+4=4\cdot 9+4=36+6=40`

c. Since the value of both expressions at s = 12 are different, the expressions are not equivalent.
