Formula 4:.
Now we can dig into what Helen has done wrong.
Helen's Error:
,up to this part she is correct.Now here she makes the error.She
can't write
as
,because as per the formula for exponent
,so
should be equal to
,which is not same as
.
Stephen's error:In the first line he has written,,which
is not correct because he is substituting
as
,we know
and
aren't same.
So the following is the correct simplification:
,(Using
formula 1)
,(Using
formula 2)
,(using formula 3)
,(using
formula 4)
.
