Question

Which of the following values for m proves that 2m + 2m is not equivalent to 4m^2?m = 1m = 0m = 2

Answer 1

Given:

$2m+2m\ne4m^2$

Required:

We need to fin\gt\ht the value of m that proves that 2m + 2m is not equivalent to 4m^2.

Explanation:

$2m+2m\ne4m^2$

$4m\ne4m^2$

Substitute m =0 in the equation.

$4(0)\ne4(0)^2$$0\ne0$

This is not true.

So m =0 does not prove that 2m + 2m is not equivalent to 4m^2

Substitute m =1 in the equaiton.

$4(1)\ne4(1)^2$$4\ne4$

This is not true.

So m =1 does not prove that 2m + 2m is not equivalent to 4m^2

Substitute m =2 in the equaiton.

$4(2)\ne4(2)^2$

$8\ne16$

This is true.

So m =2 proves that 2m + 2m is not equivalent to 4m^2

Final answer:

$m=2$
