Lance is solving the equation 2(2x + 1) - (3x - 5) = 17. His steps are shown below: Step 1: 4x + 2 - (3x - 5) = 17 Step 2: 4x + 2 - 3x - 5 = 17 Step 3: x + 2 - 5 = 17 Step 4: x - 3 = 17 Did Lance make a mistake? If so, in which step did he make the mistake and what was his mistake?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Lance made a mistake

His mistake was in step 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Yes, Lance made a mistake.

He made a mistake in step 2 of his solution.

The mistake he made was that he was supposed to open the bracket of -(3x-5) to give -3x + 5

The 5 is supposed to have a positive value and not a negative

Answers

Answer:

OTHER GUY IS WRONG!!!

Given that,

Each statement describes a transformation of the graph of f(x) = x.

We have to determine,

Which statement correctly describes the graph of g(x) if g(x) = -8f(x)?

According to the question,

Let, The graph f(x) = x,

Where r is the real number which is r >0.

And The graph of g(x) if g(x) = -8f(x),

The value of the r is -8.

The graph which describes the transformation of the given graph in the steps follows all the steps given below.

The function g(x) = 8f(x) reflects stretched the graph of f(x) vertically by a factor of r.

The function g(x) = -8f(x) reflects the graph of f(x) about the x-axis and stretched the graph of f(x) vertically by a factor of r.

The graph of g(x) = f(8x) shrink the graph of f(x) horizontally by a factor of r.

The function g(x) = f(-8x) shrink the graph of f(x) about the y-axis and shrink the graph of f(x) horizontally by a factor of r.

Hence, The graph of f(x) reflected about the x-axis and stretched vertically by a factor of 8.

Answers

Answer:

A rate of 5/2 means that:

If we move 2 units to the right, we move 5 units up.

Let's see all the graphs, the easier way to know this is:

In any point of the line, move to the right 2 units.

Then from that point, move up until you meet again with the line, if you moved 5 units, then the slope is 5/2.

A) The slope is 5/2.

B) The slope is 4/2

C) the slope is 5/2

I can not see very well graphs E and D in the image.

E) may have a slope of 5/2, you should measure it.

D has not a slope of 5/2,  you can compare it with A and see that is totally different, so you can discard option D.

Lines A and C are having a slope of (5/2) and line E may have the slope of (5/2).

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

Line A,B,C,D and E having different slopes;

Now as we know that equation of the line is:

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

where, m is the slope of the line

Now, Also [tex]dy/dx=m[/tex]

Hence, the slope of the line can also be calculated according to that.

Now, as given in the graph:

Line A is having [tex]dy=10\; \text {and} \; dx =4[/tex]

Hence slope of line A

[tex]dy/dx(A)=5/2[/tex]

Similarly:

Line B is having slope of (4/2)

Line C is having slope of (5/2)

Line D is not having slope of (5/2)

And Line E may have the slope of (5/2).

Rita just bought a car for 15,000. She paid 20% down and borrowed the remainder at an annual interest rate of 9.0%. The loan will be repaid over four years with monthly payments of $298.62. How much is rita's down payment and how much did she borrow?

Answers

Answer:

Rita's down payment is $3000 and she borrowed $12000.

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of the car is $15000.

Given that she paid 20% down and borrowed the remainder.

So, Rita's down payment= 20% of $15000

[tex]=\frac{20}{100}\times 15000[/tex]

= $3000

As she borrowed the remainder cost, so,

the borrowed amount = 15000-3000

= $12000

Hence, Rita's down payment is $3000 and she borrowed $12000.

Answers

Answer: Choice A) sqrt(136)

This is equivalent to 2*sqrt(34)

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

Explanation:

First let's find BD

The three triangles are similar, allowing for the proportion to be set up

AD/BD = BD/DC

9/x = x/8

9*8 = x*x

x^2 = 72

x = sqrt(72)

BD = sqrt(72)

Now we can use the pythagorean theorem. Focus on triangle BDC.

The legs are BD = sqrt(72) and DC = 8. Let's find the hypotenuse

(BD)^2 + (DC)^2 = (BC)^2

(sqrt(72))^2 + (8)^2 = m^2

72 + 64 = m^2

136 = m^2

m^2 = 136

m = sqrt(136)

We can simplify this but your teacher has chosen not to. If you want to simplify, then,

m = sqrt(136)

m = sqrt(4*34)

m = sqrt(4)*sqrt(34)

m = 2*sqrt(34)

Brayden just lit a new candle and then let it burn all the way down to nothing. The
candle burned at a rate of 0.75 inches per hour and its initial length was 6 inches.
Write an equation for L, in terms of t, representing the length of the candle
remaining unburned, in inches, t hours after the candle was lit.

Answers

Answer:

L = -0.75t + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

L = length (this is what equation you are looking to solve for

-0.75t because the candle burns at 0.75 in per hour so the value decreases, hence the (-)

+6 because the candle has a positive value of 6 inches to begin with

The standard form of what you are writing is called slope intercept form y = mx + b, learn it because it is very important for future math.

The equation of the candle remaining unburned at any given time is       L(t) = 6 - 0.75t.

What is a function ?

A function is a set of values of the dependent variable for specified independent variable.

According to the given question Brayden just lit a new candle and then let it burn all the way down to nothing.

The candle burned at a rate of 0.75 inches per hour and its initial length was 6 inches we have to write an equation for L in terms of t where t represents time in hours and L(t) represents length of the candle remain unburned.

∴ L(t) = 6 - 0.75t.

At t = 0 the length of the unburned candle L(t) will be 6 inches and at t = 8 L(t) will be 0,So the candle can burn for 8 hours.

[PLEASE ANSWER ASAP, ON TIME LIMIT!] The pH level of a substance can be determined by the formula pH = –log[H+], where [H+] is the hydrogen ion concentration in moles per liter. An alkaline substance has a pH level between 7 and 14. Which ion concentration corresponds to an alkaline substance?
Answer choices in picture.

Answer:

Option (2)

Step-by-step explanation:

pH level of a substance is determined by the formula,

pH = - log[H+}

where [H+] is the hydrogen ion concentration

Let the [H+] ion concentration = a

a = -log[H+]

log[H+] = -a

[H+] = 1 × [tex]10^{-a}[/tex]

Here 'a' is between 7 and 14.

Which means an alkaline substance must have the concentration between [tex]1\times 10^{-7}[/tex] to  [tex]1\times 10^{-14}[/tex].

Answers

Answer:

After 11 weeks, Darnell′s savings account will have a total of $8,360.

Step-by-step explanation:

The data provided is as follows:

   n:    1        2       3        4

f (n): 260   360   460   560  

Consider the data for f (n).

The series f (n) follows an arithmetic sequence with a common difference of 100 and first term as 260.

The nth term of an arithmetic sequence is:

[tex]a_{n}=\frac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d][/tex]

Compute the value of f (11) as follows:

[tex]f(11)=\frac{11}{2}[(2\times260)+(11-1)\times 100][/tex]

        [tex]=5.5\times[520+1000]\\\\=5.5\times 1520\\\\=8360[/tex]

Thus, after 11 weeks, Darnell′s savings account will have a total of $8,360.

If n divided by m equals 7/8,
what does m divided by n equal?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

1,

It is found that m divided by n is equal  to 8/7.

How can we interpret the division?

When 'a' is divided by 'b', then the result we get from the division is the part of 'a' that each one of 'b' items will get.

Thus, if 10 mangoes are there, and 2 people, then 10 ÷ 2 is the number of mangoes each person would get, which is 5.

Division, thus, can be interpreted as equally dividing the number that is being divided in total x parts, where x is the number of parts the given number is divided.

Thus,  a/ b = a divided in b equal parts.

If n divided by m equals 7/8, then m divided by n equal.

n / m = 7/8

Then m/n = 8/7

Therefore,  m divided by n is equal  to 8/7.
