One student says -5 is bigger than -4 and uses money as the analogy: “If I owe $5, I have a bigger debt than if I owe $4.” What is wrong with this argument?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

This is a bad argument because when talking about negative numbers, the closer the numbers are to 0, the bigger they are. -4 is closer to 0 than -5, so -4 is the bigger number.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

-5 is not larger than -4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of a number line. The absolute value of -5 is 5, meaning -5 is 5 away from 0 to the left. On the other hand, -4's absolute value is 4, meaning -4 is 4 away from 0 to the left. In the money scenario, owing $5 is a bigger debt because the absolute value is larger, not the number itself. Hope this helps!!

Answers

Answer:

254.502

Step-by-step explanation:

IF THE "SHADED AREA" MEANS THE CIRCLE, THEN THIS IS THE ANSWER! Whenever you need to find the area of a circle, you always have to multiply pi by the second power of your radius. The radius is just have of the diamater of the circle, which--in this case--is 18. So the radius of this circle would be 9 and the problem would be: A = pi x 9 to the second power. Although since your teacher said that pi was not in fact 3.14159 etc, and instead 3.142, you have to multiply 3.142 times the second power of 9, and you get 254.502. Hope this helped!

2. A city council had a proposal for a new traffic light at an intersection that had a recent
accident. The council decided to take a poll of 284 randomly selected residents and asked if
they would support the construction. Of those polled, 219 stated that they would support the
new traffic light and 45 said they would not. Identify the problem with the study.

Answers

Answer:

A non-response occurred.

Step-by-step explanation:

The study is wrong because the number of people who participated in the pole is not equal to the  number of people who support the pole and the number of people who does not support the pole.

What is Survey?

A survey is conducted in order to collect a piece of specific information from a group of people chosen from the entire population who denotes the entire population for those questions.

Given that the council decided to take a poll of 284 randomly selected residents.

Also, it is given that the 219 stated that they would support the new traffic light and 45 said they would not.

Now, for the pole to be true the number of people who support the pole and the number of people who does not support the pole should be equal to the number of people who participated in the pole.

Further, the total number of people who support the pole and the number of people who does not support the pole is,

Total number of people = 219 + 45 = 264

Since the number of people who participated in the pole is not equal to the  number of people who support the pole and the number of people who does not support the pole. Therefore, the study is Wrong.

Triangle ABC, with the vertices at A(0,0) B(3,5) and C(0,5) is graphed on the set of axes shown below. Name the solid that is formed when triangle ABC is rotated continuously about side AC and state the radius of the solid

Answers

Answer:

Solid formed will be a CONE

Radius of the cone = 3 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points of a triangle are A(0, 0), B(3, 5) and C(0, 5).

Given triangle is a right triangle.

When the given triangle ABC is rotated about a line AC, a 3D image of a solid will be created in the form of a CONE.

This cone will have the radius = BC

Length of side BC = [tex]\sqrt{(y_2-y_1)^2+(x_2-x_1)^2}[/tex]

                              = [tex]\sqrt{(3-0)^2+(5-5)^2}[/tex]

4x -5y = 0

a. yes; k = -5 b. no c. yes; k = 4/5 d. yes; k = - 4

Answers

The answer :

4/5

Step-by-step explanation:

4x-5y=0  

subtract 4x on both the sides  

4x-4x-5y = 0-4x  

-5y = -4x

divide by -5 on both the sides  

-5y/-5 = -4x/-5

y =( 4/5 )x  

What is the degree measure of arc HG?

Answers

Answer:

arc HG = 40°

Step-by-step explanation:

The inscribed angle HFG is one half the measure of its intercepted arc, that is

3x + 2 = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] (5x + 10) ( multiply both sides by 2 )

6x + 4 = 5x + 10 ( subtract 5x from both sides )

x + 4 = 10 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

x = 6

Thus

arc HG = 5x + 10 = 5(6) + 10 = 30 + 10 = 40°

x is 45 degrees it’s just flipped

Answer:

x = 45 degree as it is an alternate angle we use 135 degree to prove supplementary angles across the straight line add up to 180 degree.

Therefore we prove 180-135 = 45 degree and say all angles on straight line add up to 180 degree, and recognize x is an alternate angle as the arrow straight lines are parallel and create precise alternate lines from which we can prove multiple supplementary and alternate angles.

Supplementary can be either angle will always be supplementary from either 45 degree angle matched with any 135 degree as they don't have to be together to be supplementary they only have to equal 180 degree to be a supplementary angle.

2. Write and solve an inequality to represent the number of months the center could rent games from Anytime Games. Explain the solution in terms of the problem.


3. Use your answers from 1 and 2 to justify which service the community center should purchase.

Answers

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

From Netgames

175≥ 99 + 8x

Subtract 99 from each side

175-99 ≥ 99-99 + 8x

76≥  8x

Divide each side by 8

76/8 ≥  8x/8

9.5≥  x

He can get up to 9 months along with the equipment

From Anytime

175≥ 19 + 19x

Subtract 19from each side

175-19 ≥ 19-19 + 19x

156≥  19x

Divide each side by 19

156/19 ≥  19x/19

8.210526316≥  x

He can get up to 8 months along with the equipment

Since he can get more months from Netgames, he should rent from netgames

Answer:

The center should rent from Net games

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Net games:

175 ≥ 99 + 8x

175 - 99 ≥ 8x

76 ≥  8x

9.5 ≥  x

It can rent games for 9 and a half months

2. anytime games:

175 ≥ 19 + 19x

156 ≥  19x

8.2 ≥  x

It can rent games for 8 months

3. Since the center can rent games for a longer period of time with Net games (9.5 months compared to anytime's 8 months), it should rent from there.

Answer: √300.89 or 17.3

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

6.7^2 + b^2 = 16^2

b^2 = 16^2 - 6.7^2

= 256 - 44.89

b = √211.11 = 14.5

here to this question we have to use Pythagoras theorem that is

[tex] {a}^{2} + {b}^{2} = {hypotnuse}^{2} [/tex]

here,

a=6.7

b=x (cuz' we don't know it's value)

c= hypotenuse =16

now, substitute these values in the above formula then we get,

[tex] {6.7}^{2} + {x}^{2} = {16}^{2} \\ = 14.529[/tex]

as the answer should be given to 1 decimal place we get 14.529
