A2 1-2 Rational Exponents and p Properties of Exponents Describe and coned the entor a student made when starting to solve the equition e^x+3+2^2x-3 A. The student did eat distribute ) in (2^3)^n+2 across x=1 B. The stuant shmat have 7. to smelly the expression not convert D.to the comed pount of 2

## Step 1The problem presents an equation and asks us to identify the mistake a student might make while solving it. The options provided are:A. The student did not distribute 3 in \((2^{3})^{n+2}\) across B. The student did not convert 2 to the correct power of 2C. The student did not divide both sides of the equation by the expression## Step 2We need to analyze each option to see which one is the most likely mistake a student could make.## Step 3Option A suggests that the student did not distribute 3 in \((2^{3})^{n+2}\) across . However, this is not a valid mistake because the equation does not contain \((2^{3})^{n+2}\).## Step 4Option B suggests that the student did not convert 2 to the correct power of 2. This is a valid mistake because the equation contains , which means that 2 should be raised to the power of .## Step 5Option C suggests that the student did not divide both sides of the equation by the expression. This is not a valid mistake because the equation does not require division by an expression.
