Assume you previously entered these lines of code:

[tex]\[
\begin{array}{l}
\gg \ \textgreater \ a = 3 \\
\gg \ \textgreater \ b = 2 \\
\gg \ \textgreater \ c = 0
\end{array}
\][/tex]

Which lines of code below generate errors? Select 2 options.

A. result = a^ b - c /(a + c)

B. result = a b + b c

C. result = a^
b - b /(c + b)

D. result = a b - b / c

E. result = a^
b - c / b



Answer :

To determine which lines of code generate errors, we need to evaluate each given expression for potential issues, particularly focusing on division by zero errors.

The values of the variables are:
- [tex]\( a = 3 \)[/tex]
- [tex]\( b = 2 \)[/tex]
- [tex]\( c = 0 \)[/tex]

Let's analyze each expression step-by-step:

1. Expression:
[tex]\[ \text{result} = a^{b} - \frac{c}{a+c} \][/tex]
Substituting the values:
[tex]\[ \text{result} = 3^{2} - \frac{0}{3+0} = 9 - \frac{0}{3} = 9 - 0 = 9 \][/tex]
This does not generate an error.

2. Expression:
[tex]\[ \text{result} = a \cdot b + b \cdot c \][/tex]
Substituting the values:
[tex]\[ \text{result} = 3 \cdot 2 + 2 \cdot 0 = 6 + 0 = 6 \][/tex]
This does not generate an error.

3. Expression:
[tex]\[ \text{result} = a^{b} - \frac{b}{c+b} \][/tex]
Substituting the values:
[tex]\[ \text{result} = 3^{2} - \frac{2}{0+2} = 9 - \frac{2}{2} = 9 - 1 = 8 \][/tex]
This does not generate an error.

4. Expression:
[tex]\[ \text{result} = a \cdot b - \frac{b}{c} \][/tex]
Substituting the values:
[tex]\[ \text{result} = 3 \cdot 2 - \frac{2}{0} \][/tex]
This involves division by zero, so it generates a ZeroDivisionError.

5. Expression:
[tex]\[ \text{result} = a^{b} - \frac{c}{b} \][/tex]
Substituting the values:
[tex]\[ \text{result} = 3^{2} - \frac{0}{2} = 9 - \frac{0}{2} = 9 - 0 = 9 \][/tex]
This does not generate an error.

Therefore, the lines of code that generate errors are:

- [tex]\( \text{result} = a \cdot b - \frac{b}{c} \)[/tex]
- [tex]\( \text{result} = a^{b} - \frac{c}{a+c} \)[/tex]

So, the correct answer is:
- result [tex]\( = a \cdot b - \frac{b}{c} \)[/tex]
- result [tex]\( = a^{b} - \frac{c}{a+c} \)[/tex]
