step 5

Answers

Answer 1
Final answer:

Grace made an error in Step 5 of evaluating the expression 'three less than the quotient of a number squared and nine, increased by eight' when n = 6. The correct evaluation should result in 12, not 7 as she calculated. Hence, the error is in Step 5, where she incorrectly concluded that the expression equals 7.

Explanation:

The question asks us to identify the step at which Grace made an error in evaluating the expression given the description “three less than the quotient of a number squared and nine, increased by eight” when n = 6. Without seeing the exact steps Grace took, we can still solve the expression ourselves.

Firstly, let's translate the description into an algebraic expression using n as our number:

“Three less than the quotient of a number squared and nine” can be expressed as ((n^2)/9) - 3.

Then, we “increase by eight” to get the final expression: ((n^2)/9) - 3 + 8.

If n = 6, we substitute in the value to get: ((6^2)/9) - 3 + 8, which simplifies to (36/9) - 3 + 8 = 4 + 8 = 12.

Thus, the correct answer when evaluating the expression for n = 6 is 12. Grace's error appears to have occurred in Step 5, where she incorrectly evaluated the final sum as 7.

Find the circumference of a circle whose area is 24pi ft^2

Answers

Area = 24pi ft^2 = pi * r^2
This gives r = root24


Circumference = 2pi * r

= 4pi * root6


Hope I'm able to help you.

Answer:

30.76 [tex]ft^{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the circumference of a circle you just have to multiply the diameter by pi.

C= D*[tex]\pi[/tex]

And in order to calculate the value of the diameter you have to clear the formula for the area.

A= [tex]r^{2} *\pi[/tex]

r=[tex]\sqrt{\frac{24 \pi }{\pi } }[/tex]

r=[tex]\sqrt{24}[/tex]

r=4,89

Once we get the radius, we only have to calculate the diameter:

D=2r=9,79

now we just calculate the circumference:

C=D*[tex]\pi[/tex]= (9.79)(3.14)= 30.76

If the population of Town B is 50% greater than the population of Town A and the populations of Town C is 20% greater than the population of Town A, then what percent greater is the population of Town B tan the population of Town C

Answers

Let
A = population of town A,
B = population of town B,
C = population of town C.

Because the population of town B is 50% greater than that of town A,
B = 1.5A                    (1)

Because the population of town C is 20% greater than that of town A,
C = 1.2A                  (2)

From (1), obtain
A = B/1.5 = (2/3)B        (3)

Substitute (3) into (2).
C = 1.2*(2/3)*B = 0.8B
Divide each side by 0.8.
1.25C = B
This result means that B is 25% greater than C.

If 3a+4b = 4a-4b = 21 find the value of a

Answers

a-4b=4b
a=8b
Plug it in:
24b+4b=21
28b=21
b=21/28
a=8b=6.
Using the 2nd and 3rd you have:

4a-4b=21

4a=21+4b

a=(21+4b)/4

now using 1st and 2nd

3(21+4b)/4+4b=4(21+4b)/4-4b

(63+12b+16b)/4=(84+16b-16b)/4

63+28b=84  

28b=21

b=21/28

b=3/4

4a-4(3/4)=21

4a=3=21

Which best describes the range of the function f(x) = 2(1/4) after it has been reflected over the y-axis? all real numbers all real numbers less than 0 all real numbers greater than 0 all real numbers less than or equal to 0

Answers

your answer should be C 
all numbers greater than 0

Answer:

All real numbers greater than 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the function, [tex]f(x) = 2(\frac{1}{4})^{x}[/tex].

'Reflection over y-axis means to flip the graph over y-axis', which changes the function by f(x) becomes f(-x).

So, after reflection, the given function transforms into,

[tex]g(x)=f(-x)[/tex]

i.e. [tex]g(x)=2(\frac{1}{4})^{-x}[/tex]

According to the graph of the function g(x), we see that,

Range of [tex]g(x)=2(\frac{1}{4})^{-x}[/tex] is the 'Set of all real non-negative numbers' i.e. {x | x > 0} i.e. [tex](0,\infty)[/tex]

(5 points) Part B: Solve 4x2 − 12x + 5 = 0 by using an appropriate method. Show the steps of your work, and explain why you chose the method used. (5 points)

Answers

PART A:

The given quadratic equation is 2x²-10x-8=0

The radicand is given by b²-4ac where a, b, and c are the constants in a quadratic form ax²+bx+c

From the given equation, we have
a = 2
b = -10
c = -8

Radicand b²-4ac = (-10)² - 4(2)(-8) = 100 + 64 = 164

The radicand is >0 hence the quadratic equation has two distinct roots

PART B:

4x²-12x+5 = 0

We can use the factorization method to solve the equation
Firstly, we multiply 4 by 5 to get 20
Then we find the pair of numbers that multiply gives 20 and sum gives -12

The pair of number is -2 and -10
Rewriting the equation 
4x²-2x-10x+5 = 0
2x(2x-1)-5(2x-1) = 0
(2x-1)(2x-5) = 0

2x-1 = 0 and 2x-5 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The graph of [tex]f(x)=(0.5)x[/tex] is replaced by the graph of [tex]g(x)=0.5)x-k.[/tex]

If g(x) is obtained by shifting f(x) down by 2 units, then [tex]g(x)=(0.5)-2[/tex]

[since f(x)shifted down down by 2 , so only the value of dependent variable effect]

When we compare both functions of g(x), we found that k=2.

The value of [tex]k[/tex] is 2.

The following information should be considered:

when [tex]g(x)[/tex] is obtained by shifting f(x) fall by 2 units so [tex]g(x) = (0.5) - 2.[/tex]Since [tex]f(x)[/tex] shifted down by 2 so there is the effect on the dependent variable. Now at the time of comparing both functions of g(x) the k should be 2.

classify the following triangle . check all that apply

Answers

One of the angles is more than 90 degrees  ⇒  Obtuse

Two equal sides  ⇒ Isosceles

Answer:

Option (a) and (d) is correct.

The given triangle is obtuse and isosceles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A triangle with measure of one angle is 120° and two legs of the triangle are given equal in length.

We will have to choose the correct classification for the given triangle.

For a triangle if the measure of one the angles is

1) less than 90 then it is acute triangle ,

2) equal to 90 then right triangle

3) greater to 90 then obtuse triangle

Since the measure  of one angle of the triangle is 120° > 90° Thus, the given triangle is obtuse.

For a triangle if all the three sides are equal then it is equilateral triangle, if two sides are equal then it is isosceles and if no side is equal then it is scalene.

Since, for the given triangle, the two legs of the triangle are given equal in length so it is an isosceles triangle.

Thus, the given triangle is obtuse and isosceles.

[tex]f(q+1)=2(q+1)-4=2q+2-4=2q-2[/tex]

If the function f(x) = 2x-4, the function f(q + 1) = 2q - 2

What is a function?

A function is a mathematical equation that shows the relationship between two variables.

Since if f(x)=2x-4, to find f(q+1), we proceed as follows.

Since we have the function  f(x) = 2x - 4, and we want to find f(q + 1). To find the function f(q + 1), we substitute x = q + 1 into the equation. so, we have that

f(x) = 2x - 4

When x = q + 1, we have that

f(x) = 2x - 4

f(q + 1) = 2(q + 1) - 4

Expanding the brackets, we have that

f(q + 1) = 2q + 2 - 4

= 2q - 2

So, f(q + 1) = 2q - 2

Seeming how it's just text and I can't determine what part A is talking about I'll make a new table.

Part A:(This table is a three by three table, with the first top two sections being liked apple juice and didn't like apple juice, and the first left two sections being liked orange juice and didn't like orange juice. The end sections are totals.)


         AJ   No  TotalOJ    8     20   28
No    27   45   72
Total 35   55   100

Part B:
(What percentage of the total people did not like either apple or orange juice?)

25 people did not like either apple or orange juice so 25/100 is 25%.

Part C:(Do the people surveyed have more dislike for apple juice than orange juice? Justify your answer.)

There were a total of 28 people that liked orange juice against a total of 35 people that liked apple juice, so it is safe to say that out of the 100 surveyed there was more dislike for orange juice than apple juice.

Answer:

Part A: A = 8

B = 20

C = 28

D = 35  

E = 37

F = 72

G = 43

H = 57

I = 200

Part B: 18.5%

Part C:

D = People who do not like Orange Juice

B = People who do not like Apple Juice

I use the values of B and D because these are the values that represent dislike for that juice, and also because adding them together creates a value for not liking either juice.

D = 35

B = 20

So there is a greater dislike for Orange Juice.
