Allen is showing his work in simplifying −8.3 + 9.2 − 4.4 + 3.7. Identify any errors in his work or in his reasoning.


Step Work Reasoning
−8.3 + 9.2 − 4.4 + 3.7 Original problem
1 −8.3 + 9.2 + 4.4 + 3.7 Additive inverse
2 −8.3 + 4.4 + 9.2 + 3.7 Commutative property
3 −8.3 + (4.4 + 9.2 + 3.7) Associative property
4 −8.3 + 17.3 Simplify
5 9 Simplify
He did not make any errors.
Step 1: He wrote −4.4 incorrectly as + 4.4.
Step 2: He identified changing the order of the numbers as the commutative property, which is incorrect.
Step 3: He identified changing the grouping of the numbers as the associative property, which is incorrect.

Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation: First, you use the PEMDAS method which is parenthese, exponent, multiplication division, addition and subtraction.

So,  there is parenthese, exponent, multiplaction or division.

Now, first you add -8.3 + 9.2= 0.9, then subtract 0.9 by 4.4= -3.5, now add -3.5 + 3.7= 0.2

Use the original problem and use the PEMDAS method.

Hope this helps!!

Estimation Rita goes to the mall. If x is the number of items she ​bought, the expression 18.54x+23 gives the amount she spent in dollars at one store. Then she spent 25 dollars at another store. Find the expression which represents the amount Rita spent at the mall. Then estimate how much Rita spent if she bought 2 items.

Answers

Answer:

18.54x +48$85

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount Rita spent is ...

  (18.54x +23) +(25) = 18.54x +48 . . . total spent

__

When x=2, that is approximately ...

  (18.5)(2) + 48 = 37 +48 = (40 -3) +(50 -2) = (40 +50) -(3 +2) = 90 -5 = 85

Rita spent about $85 if she bought 2 items.

_____

Additional comment

Estimation is often done using 1 significant figure. In this case, that would mean rounding the equation to 20x+50, so it would give a value of 90 when x=2.

An additional task when estimating is to estimate the error in the estimate. Here, using 20x+50 has an error of approximately 1.5x+2 (too high), so the error for 2 items will be about (1.5(2)+2) = 5. That is, the estimate of 90 is approximately 5 too high. Even this estimate has a remaining small error of 0.04x (too low).

A is 4 and b is 63 have a good day
A) To find the median list the numbers in ascending order. (1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9, 9) The middle number is the median. So the answer is 4.
The mode is the number that appears the most which is 3 and 9 because they both appear twice.
B) (60, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 67, 68) The middle number is 63 so that is the median.
The mode is 60 as it appears the most in the list.

[tex]\huge\boxed{\sf p = 48\°}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, interior angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees.

So,

S + Q + R = 180°

S + 44 + 40 = 180

S + 84 = 180

Subtract 84 to both sides

S = 180 - 84

S = 96°

Since S is divided into two p angles because ST is an angle bisector (dividing the angle into two "equal" parts)

So,

S =  p + p

S = 2p

96 = 2p

Divide both sides by 2

48 = p

OR

p = 48°

A scatterplot is used to display data for a runner where x is the number of miles run, and y is the time, in minutes, that it takes to run that distance. Which interpretation describes a line of best fit of y = 9. 5x for the data in the scatterplot? For each 1 minute, the runner ran 9. 5 miles. For each 9. 5 minutes, the runner ran 1 mile. The minimum distance with a recorded time is 9. 5 miles. The maximum distance with a recorded time is 9. 5 miles.

Answers

The interpretation that describes a line of best fit of y = 9.5x for the data in the scatterplot is (a) For each 1 minute, the runner ran 9.5 miles

The equation of the line of best fit is given as:

[tex]y = 9.5x[/tex]

The line of best fit is represented as:

[tex]y = mx + b[/tex]

Where m represents the rate or slope.

So, by comparison:

[tex]m = 9.5[/tex]

This means that, the number of miles travelled every minute is 9.5

Hence, the true statement is (a)

a) 5x^2 - 7 = 72
b) x(x + 2) = 5
c) 3x^2 + 2x - 4 = 0

Answers

Answer:

A. 5x² - 7 - 72 = 0

5x² - 79 = 0

x = ± √-4ac / 2a

x = ± √- 4 (5) (-79) / 2 (5)

x = ± √ 1580 / 10

x = ± 39.749/10

x = + 39.749/10 x = -39.749/10

= 3.9749 = - 3.9749

B. x² + 2x - 5 = 0

x = - b ± √b² - 4ac / 2a

= - 2 ± √2² - 4 (1) (-5) / 2 (1)

= - 2 ± √4 + 20 / 2

= - 2 ± √ 24 / 2

x = - 2 + 4.898 /2 x = - 2 - 4.898 / 2

= 2.898/2 = -6.898/2

= 1.449 = - 3.449

C. 3x² + 2x - 4 = 0

x = - b ± √b² - 4ac / 2a

= - 2 ± √2² - 4 (3) (-4) / 2 (3)

= - 2 ± √4 + 48 / 6

= - 2 ± √ 52 / 6

x = - 2 + 7.211 /6 x = - 2 - 7.211 / 6

Answers

Using inverse function concepts, it is found that:

The inverse of the function is [tex]y = \sqrt{x + 3} - 1[/tex], and the domain of the inverse function is [tex][-3, \infty][/tex].

A function will have an inverse if for each output, there is only one respective input.The domain of the inverse is the range of the original function.

The function given is:

[tex]f(x) = (x + 1)^2 - 3[/tex]

It's range is [tex][-3, \infty][/tex], which will be the domain of the inverse.

To find the inverse, we exchange x and y, and isolate y, then:

[tex]y = (x + 1)^2 - 3[/tex]

[tex]x = (y + 1)^2 - 3[/tex]

[tex](y + 1)^2 = x + 3[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{(y + 1)^2} = \sqrt{x + 3}[/tex]

[tex]y + 1 = \sqrt{x + 3}[/tex]

[tex]y = \sqrt{x + 3} - 1[/tex]

The inverse of the function is [tex]y = \sqrt{x + 3} - 1[/tex], and the domain of the inverse function is [tex][-3, \infty][/tex].
