Some students are trying to write an expression with fewer terms that is equivalent to 8 - 3(4 - 9x). Noah says, "I worked the problem from left to right and ended up with 20 - 45x." 8 - 3(4 - 9x) 5(4 - 9x) 20 - 45x Lin says, "I started inside the parenthesis and ended up with 23x." 8 - 3(4 - 9x) 8 - 3(-5x) 8 + 15x 23x Jada says, "I used the distributive property and ended up with 27x - 4." 8 - 3(4 - 9x) 8 - (12 - 27x) 8 - 12 - (-27x) 27x - 4 Andre says, "I also used the distributive property, but I ended up with -4 - 27x." 8 - 3(4 - 9x) 8 - 12 - 27x -4 - 27x Do you agree with any of them? Explain your reasoning.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Yes I agree with Jada. His approach is correct.

Step-by-step explanation: The question requires the student to write an equivalent equation with fewer terms. Nonetheless, this does not prevent applying a mathematically correct approach.

(1) Noah is wrong and the reason is that the initial step is mathematically incorrect. The expression on the right hand side reads 3(4 - 9x), therefore starting with "8 - 3" is very wrong. The right step was to take one side which is 8 and take the other side which is 3(4 - 9x).

(2) Lin is wrong and the reason is that she started inside the parenthesis and this also is mathematically incorrect. The digits inside the parenthesis are "not like terms" and hence calculating 4 - 9x = -5x is very incorrect (the same way you cannot correctly calculate 500 metres minus 200 inches. You must make sure they are both in meters or in inches, that is both must be like terms).

(3) Jada is very correct in using the distributive property and ended up with the only correct solution. The digits on the right hand side of the expression  was solved first and that resulted in -12 + 27x. The reason being that the number outside the parenthesis which is -3, multiplied both digits inside the parenthesis. The minus sign had a major effect, and after simplifying the right hand side the expression now becomes;

8 - 12 + 27x

Since the like terms are 8 and 12, you can simplify further to become

- 4 + 27x OR the expression can be rearranged as 27x - 4

(4) Andre is not correct and the reason is that although he used the distributive property, he made a slight mistake while solving for the right side of the expression. What Andre did was

-3(4 - 9x)

-12 - 27x

Remember that when a negative value multiplies another negative value the answer is positive. Therefore -3 times -9x should have been +27x, just like Jada did as shown above.

From that point onward, his answer would be incorrect.

Kyle drops a ball from a height of 15 feet above the ground. The function h = −16t^2 + 15 gives the height h of the ball (in feet) after t seconds. Graph the function. Then determine the approximate time the ball hits the ground.

Answers

Answer:

The ball will hit the ground at 0.968 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

Please refer to the attached graph in the answer area.

The given equation of height according to input variable time 't' is:

[tex]h = - 16 t^{2} + 15 ...... (1)[/tex]

h is in feet

t is in seconds

Both the values 't' and 'h' will be positive. (Time and height can never be negative)

To determine the time, at which the ball hits the ground, i.e. the height becomes 0.

Putting value of h = 0 in equation (1)

[tex]0 = - 16 t^{2} + 15 \\\Rightarrow t^{2} = \dfrac{15}{16}\\\Rightarrow t = \sqrt{\dfrac{15}{16}}\\\Rightarrow t = 0.968\ sec[/tex]

Hence, the time at which the ball hits the ground is 0.968 seconds.

What is the nth term rule of the quadratic sequence below?
8, 16, 26, 38, 52, 68, 86,...
Tn=

Answers

Answer:

[tex]n^2+5n+2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the sequence

8, 16, 26, 38, 52, 68, 86,...

The nth term of a quadratic sequence will take the form:

[tex]an^2+bn+c[/tex]

Step 1: Find the difference between each term

The differences are: 8,10,12,14,...

Step 2: Find the differences between the differences

We notice an addition of 2, so the second difference is 2.

Step 3:

Take the half of the second difference to obtain a.

2/2=1

Therefore: a=1

The sequence for now is: [tex]n^2+bn+c[/tex]

Step 4: Find [tex]T_n-n^2[/tex]

[tex]T_1=8, T_1-1^2=8-1=7\\T_2=16, T_2-2^2=16-4=12\\T_3=26, T_3-3^2=26-9=17[/tex]

We notice that [tex]T_n-n^2[/tex] forms a linear sequence 7,12,17

We can write this as 2+5n

Therefore, Our nth rule for the quadratic sequence is therefore: [tex]n^2+5n+2[/tex]

If an 8 hour work day includes a total break time of 22 1/4%, how many hours are used for breaks?

Answers

Answer:

1 39/50 hours. This is equivalent to 1.78 hours.

give the equation for the new circle obtained by translating the circle (x-2)^2+(y+4)^2=36 by 6 units to the right and 4 units up explain and show your work please

Answers

Answer:

equation for the new circle is;

(x - 8)² + y² = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two types of translations and they are translation horizontally and vertically. Combining both of them in the context of this question, to translate a circle 6 units to the right and 4 units up, we take our equation,

(x - 2)² + (y + 4)² = 36 and subtract 6 from the x - term and 4 from the y - term to get the equation of the new circle.

This gives us;

(x - 2 - 6)² + (y + 4 - 4)² = 36

This gives;

(x - 8)² + y² = 36

state the coordinates of the endpoints of a line segment that is not parallel to either axis, and does not intersect either axis.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(2, 3) and (5, 6) are the endpoints of a line segment that is not parallel to either axis and does not intersect either axis.

What is  coordinate of  point line?

An ordered pair contains the coordinates of one point in the coordinate system. A point is named by its ordered pair of the form of (x, y). The first number corresponds to the x-coordinate and the second to the y coordinate.

What is line segment?

A line segment is a piece or a part of line having two end points.

Since, a line segment is parallel to the either one axis if its one coordinate point is zero, whether it's y or x.

So for not parallel to either axis and does not intersect either axis  we will choose those points which are not zero.

Therefore,

The coordinates of the end points of a line segment that is not parallel to either axis and does not intersect either axis will be (2, 3) and (5, 6).

Similarly, you can use any point using this concept like (7,9) ad (2,3) and many.

Answer:

EF = 34, FG = 25

Step-by-step explanation:

EG is the total of the two smaller segments, EF and FG.

Therefore:

8x-14 + 4x+1 = EG

8x-14 + 4x+1 = 59

Now we can solve this equation.

8x-14 + 4x+1 = 59

12x-13 = 59

12x = 72

x = 6

Now, we can plug in the values of x into the expressions for the lengths of EF and FG:

You want to have your carpet cleaned in your living room which measures 11’ by 14’. A company charges $2.75 per square foot and company B charges $450 per room. Which company should you hire to get a better deal?

Answers

Answer:

Since, company A charge of $423.5 is less than company B charge of $450

Hence,

Company A should be hired to get the better deal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dimension of room: 11 * 14 foot

Area of rectangle is given by length * width

Thus,

area of room using above formula = 11*14 square foot = 154 square foot

For company A

charge  for 1 square foot = $2.75

Charge for room = charge  for 1 square foot * area of room

                           = 2.75 * 154 = 423.5

Thus, Total money charged by company  A as calculated above is $423.5

Given,

company B charges $450 per room

Since, company A charge of $423.5 is less than company B charge of $450

Hence,

Company A should be hired to get the better deal.
