Amelia, Luis, Shauna, and Clarence used different approaches to solve the inequality
7.2b + 6.5 > 4.8b – 8.1.

Amelia started by subtracting 7.2b from both sides to get 6.5 > –2.4b – 8.1.
Luis started by subtracting 4.8b from both sides to get 2.4b + 6.5 < – 8.1.
Shauna started by subtracting 6.5 from both sides to get 7.2b > 4.8b – 14.6.
Clarence started by adding 8.1 to both sides to get 7.2b + 14.6 > 4.8b.
Which student’s first step was incorrect, and why?

Amelia’s, because the variable term must be isolated on the left side
Luis’s, because he flipped the inequality sign when he subtracted
Shauna’s, because she did not apply the subtraction property of equality properly
Clarence’s, because the terms he added together were not like terms

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Luis’s, because he flipped the inequality sign when he subtracted

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

7.2b + 6.5 > 4.8b – 8.1.

Amelia started by subtracting 7.2b from both sides to get 6.5 > –2.4b – 8.1.

Amelia:

7.2b + 6.5 - 7.2b > 4.8b – 8.1 - 7.2b

6.5 > -2.4b - 8.1

Correct

Luis started by subtracting 4.8b from both sides to get 2.4b + 6.5 < – 8.1.

7.2b + 6.5 - 4.8b > 4.8b – 8.1 - 4.8b

2.4b + 6.5 > -8.1

Incorrect

Shauna started by subtracting 6.5 from both sides to get 7.2b > 4.8b – 14.6

7.2b + 6.5 - 6.5 > 4.8b – 8.1 - 6.5

7.2b > 4.8b - 14.6

Correct

Clarence started by adding 8.1 to both sides to get 7.2b + 14.6 > 4.8b.

7.2b + 6.5 + 8.1 > 4.8b – 8.1 + 8.1

7.2b + 14.6 > 4.8b

Correct

What does the point (1994, 400) on the graph represent?

Answers

Answer: There are 400 tadpoles in the year 1994.

This is because any point is of the form (x,y) where in this case

x = year number

y = tadpole population number

So (x,y) = (1994, 400) means x = 1994 and y = 400 pair up together.

In short, the year x = 1994 corresponds to the population of y = 400 tadpoles.

From the years 1990 to 1992, the population is increasing since the curve goes upward when moving from left to right. Then from 1992 to 1993, the population decreases hitting its lowest point in that specific region. From 1993 to 1997, the population increases before it decreases again from 1997 to 1999.

What is the image of the point (8,4) after a rotation of 90° counterclockwise about the origin?

Answers

Answer:  (-4, 8)

=========================================================

Explanation:

The 90 degree counterclockwise rotation rule we use is

[tex](x,y) \to (-y,x)[/tex]

the x and y coordinates swap places, and we change the sign of the first coordinate after the swap.

After using that rotation rule, we would go from (8,4) to (-4, 8) which is the final answer.

----------------

Extra info (optional section):

Define the following three points

A = (0,0)

B = (8,4)

C = (-4,8)

Use the slope formula to find that AB and AC have slopes of 1/2 and -2 in that order.

Those slopes multiply to -1, since (1/2)*(-2) = -1. This is a property of any two perpendicular lines as long as neither line is vertical and neither is horizontal. So this is sufficient to prove that the lines are perpendicular. This further means that a 90 degree rotation has taken place.

The amount of time needed to complete a job, t, varies inversely with the number of workers, w. If
9 workers can complete a job in 56 minutes, how many minutes would it take 14 workers?
Do not include the units in your answer.

Answers

Answer:

38

Step-by-step explanation:

If 9 workers can complete a job in 56 minutes, then it takes 36 minutes for 14 workers.

What is Ratio?

A ratio is an ordered pair of numbers a and b, written a / b where b does not equal 0.

Given that amount of time needed to complete a job, t, varies inversely with the number of workers, w.

t=k/w

k is a constant

9 workers can complete a job in 56 minutes

t=56 and w=9

56=k/9

Apply cross multiplication

k=9×56

k=504

We need to find how many minutes would it take for 14 workers.

t=504/14

t=36

Hence, it takes 36 minutes for 14 workers.

Answer:

Exact surface area = 500+20pi square cm

=============================================================

Explanation:

A = area of the bottom face = 10*12 = 120B = area of the left face = 7*12 = 84C = area of the right face = 7*12 = 84D = area of the front face = 7*10-0.5*pi*2^2 = 70 - 2piE = area of the back face = 7*10-0.5*pi*2^2 = 70 - 2piF = area of the top face = 2*3*12+0.5*2*pi*2*12 = 72+24pi

All areas mentioned are in square cm, which can be abbreviated to cm^2.

Faces A,B,C are straight forward as they are simply rectangles. The remaining 3 other faces are a bit tricky.

Faces D and E involve subtracting off the area of a semicircle of radius 2 from a 7 by 10 rectangle area. The formula pi*r^2 is the area of a full circle, while 0.5*pi*r^2 is the area of a semicircle. From there, I then plugged in r = 2.

The top face is really a combination of 3 different pieces (two flat, one curved in the middle). Each flat part is of area 3*12 = 36, so that doubles to 2*3*12 when accounting for both flat parts. The curved portion will involve the lateral surface area of a cylinder formula which is

LSA = 2*pi*r*h

but since we're only dealing with half the lateral area, we multiply that by 0.5 to get 0.5*2*pi*r*h. From there, I plugged in r = 2 and h = 12.

-----------------------

In summary we have these six areas for the faces

bottom = 120left = 84right = 84front = 70 - 2piback = 70 - 2pitop = 72 + 24pi

Add up those sub areas to get the full surface area of this particular 3D solid.

120+84+84+(70-2pi)+(70-2pi)+(72+24pi)

(120+84+84+70+70+72)+(-2pi-2pi+24pi)

500+20pi

This is the exact surface area in terms of pi. If you want the approximate version of this, then you could replace pi with 3.14 and compute to get 562.8 cm^2

Use more decimal digits in pi to get a more accurate value. If you use your calculators version of pi, then you should get somewhere around 562.831853 cm^2

In this case, I think it's better to stick with the exact surface area (unless your teacher instructs otherwise).

An x-method chart shows the product a c at the top of x and b at the bottom of x. Below the chart is the expression a x squared + b x + c. What are the factors of x2 – 144? And

Answers

Answer:

[tex](x -12)(x + 12)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

See attachment for chart

Required

The factors of [tex]x^2 - 144[/tex]

First, express [tex]x^2 - 144[/tex] as [tex]ax^2 + bx + c[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]x^2 - 144 = x^2 + 0x - 144[/tex]

Compare the above expression to: [tex]ax^2 + bx + c[/tex]

We have:

[tex]ax^2 + bx + c = x^2 + 0x - 144[/tex]

So:

[tex]a =1[/tex]

[tex]b =0[/tex]

[tex]c = -144[/tex]

and

[tex]a * c = d * e[/tex]

Calculate ac

[tex]a* c = 1 * -144[/tex]

[tex]a* c = -144[/tex]

Rewrite as:

[tex]a* c = -12 * 12[/tex]

Recall that:

[tex]a * c = d * e[/tex]

Hence:

[tex]d = -12; e = 12[/tex]

So, on the x chart, we have:

        ac

d                  e

        b

This gives:

        -144

-12                  12

A(3,4) and B(-3,2) are pointd on a coordinate plane. find the coordinate of a points C on the x axis such that AC=BC​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's the game plan. In order to find a point on the x-axis that makes AC = BC, we need to find the midpoint of AB and the slope of AB. From there, we can find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to AB so we can then fit a 0 in for y and solve for x. This final coordinate will be the answer you're looking for. First and foremost, the midpoint of AB:

and

Now for the slope of AB:

and

 So if the slope of AB is 1/3, then the slope of a line perpendicular to that line is -3. What we are finding now is the equation of the line perpendicular to AB and going through (0, 3):

and filling in:

y - 3 = -3(x - 0) and

y - 3 = -3x + 0 and

y - 3 = -3x so

y = -3x + 3. Filling in a 0 for y will give us the coordinate we want for the x-intercept (the point where this line goes through the x-axis):

0 = -3x + 3 and

-3 = -3x so

x = 1

The coordinate on the x-axis such that AC = BC is (1, 0)

(a) A pentagon ABCDE has sides AE and CD parallel and the line EC
is parallel to side AB. Sides ED and BC, when extended, meet at a
point F. ZABC is equal to ZCDE. Show that ZAEC = ZCFD.
(b) If, furthermore, triangles EDC and DFC are both isosceles, with
ED = DC and DF = FC, find the angles of the pentagon.

Answers

(a) ∠AEC = ∠CFD, by transitive property of equality

(b) ∠CDE = 108°, ∠DCB = 108°, ∠ABC = 108°,∠EAB = 144°, ∠AED = 72°

The reason the above values are correct is as follows:

(a) The given parameters are;

Figure ABCDE is a pentagon

The sides AE is parallel to side CD

Line EC is parallel to side BC

The point of intersection of the extension off side ED and BC = Point F

∠ABC = ∠CDE

Required:

To show that ∠AEC = ∠CFD

Method:

Draw the pentagon ABCDE and include the added construction

Analyze the drawing

Solution:

∠ECF and ∠ABC are corresponding angles between parallel lines EC ║BC

∴ ∠ECF ≅ ∠ABC by corresponding angles formed by parallel lines are congruent

∠ECF = ∠ABC by definition of congruency

∠ABC = ∠CDE = ∠ECF by transitive property

∠ECD ≅ ∠AEC by alternate angles formed between parallel lines having a common transversal

∠ECD = ∠AEC by definition of congruency

∠ECF = ∠FCD + ∠ECD by angle addition postulate

∠CDE = ∠FCD + ∠CFD by exterior angle theorem

From ∠CDE = ∠ECF above, we have;

∠ECF = ∠FCD + ∠ECD = ∠FCD + ∠CFD

∴ ∠ECD = ∠CFD by addition property

∠ECD = ∠AEC, therefore;

∠AEC = ∠CFD, by transitive property

(b) Given that ΔEDC and ΔDFC are both isosceles triangles, with sides;

ED = DC, and DF = FC;

Let r represent ∠CFD, we have;

∠FCD = ∠CDF by base angles of isosceles triangle ΔDFC

∠ECD = ∠CED by base angles of isosceles triangle ΔEDC

∠AEG = ∠CDE by corresponding angles formed by parallel lines having a common transversal

∠AEC = ∠ECD by alternate angles

∴ ∠AEG + ∠AEC + ∠CED = 180° Sum of angles on a straight line

∠CDE = ∠CFD + ∠FCD

∠CDE + ∠CDF = 180° (linear pair angles)

∴ ∠AEG + ∠CDF = 180° by transitive property

∠AEC + ∠CED = ∠CDF by transitive property

∠AEC = ∠ECD = ∠CED = ∠CFD = r

∴ ∠CFD + ∠CFD = ∠CDF

2·r = ∠CDF

∠CDE = ∠FCD + ∠CFD

∠FCD = ∠CDF = 2·r

∴ ∠CDE = 2·r + r = 3·r

∠CDE = 3·r

The angles of the pentagon are;

∠CDE + ∠DCB + ∠ABC + ∠EAB + ∠AED = 540° sum of angles in a pentagon

∠DCB = 180° - ∠FCD

∠DCB = 180° - 2·r

∠ABC = ∠CDE = 3·r

∠EAB = ∠CEH corresponding angles

∠CEH = 180 - ∠AEC

∴ ∠EAB = 180° - ∠AEC

∴ ∠EAB = 180° - r

∠AED = ∠AEC + ∠CED = r + r = 2·r

∠AED = 2·r

Therefore, we have;

3·r + 180° - 2·r + 3·r + 180° - r + 2·r = 540°

5·r + 360° = 540°

r = (540° - 360°)/5 = 36°

r = 36°

∠CDE = 3 × 36° = 108°

∠DCB = 180° - 2×36° = 108°

∠ABC = 3 × 36° = 108°

∠EAB = 180° - 36° = 144°

∠AED = 2 × 36° = 72°
