Sarah was explaining her first step in factoring, but made an error in her explanation.
Factor: 5x² - 4x - 9
Sarah said, "I need to find factors of -9 that add to -4"
What was the error in her thought process?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

-9

Step-by-step explanation:

her error was that -9 can't add up to -4

Answer 2

Answer:

  she needs to find factors of -45 that add to -4

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to know the error involved when looking for factors of 5x²-4x-9 by considering only factors of -9.

Quadratic factors

Consider the product of factors (ax +b)(x +d):

  (ax+b)(x +d) = ax² +adx +bx +bd = ax² +(ad+b)x +bd

You will notice the two parts of the sum that is the middle term coefficient have the product abd, which is also the product of the first and last coefficients.

Sarah needs to be looking for factors of (5)(-9) = -45 that have a sum of -4.

__

Additional comment

The factors Sarah needs are -9 and 5. These will give Sarah the equation ...

  5x² -9x +5x -9

which can be factored pairwise to ...

  x(5x -9) +1(5x -9) = (x +1)(5x -9)

normal body tem varies by the time of day. a series of readings was taken of the body temperature of a subject. the mean reading was found to be 36.5 C with a standard deviation of 0.3 C. if you wanted to convert the temp to the Fahrenheit scale, what would the new mean and standard deviation be?

Answers

Answer: 97.7 F 32.54 F

Step-by-step explanation:

So the equation to go from Celsius to Fahrenheit is 9/5(C)+32

So it would be 9/5(36.5)+32=97.7 F

And 9/5(0.3)+32=32.54 F

The new mean is 97.7 F and new standard deviation is 32.54 C.

what is Standard Deviation?

The term "standard deviation" (or "") refers to a measurement of the data's dispersion from the mean. A low standard deviation implies that the data are grouped around the mean, whereas a large standard deviation shows that the data are more dispersed.

The average degree of variability in your data set is represented by the standard deviation. It reveals the average deviation of each score from the mean.

Given:

Mean = 36.5 C

Standard deviation = 0.3 C

Now, converting Celsius to Fahrenheit as

= 9/5(C)+32

So, the new mean is

=9/5(36.5)+32

=97.7 F

and, new standard deviation is

= 9/5(0.3)+32

=32.54 F

Your teacher invested 5000 in three funds. After a year they had 5450 . The growth fund had a return rate of 12% , the income fund had a return rate of 8% , and the money market fund had, a return rate of 5 \% . Your teacher invested twice as much in the income fund as in the money market fund. How much money was invested in each fund?

Answers

Using a system of equations, the amounts invested in each fund are given as follows:

Growth: $2,000.Income: $2,000.Market: $2,000.

What is a system of equations?

A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.

For this problem, the variables are given as follows:

Variable x: amount invested into the growth fund.Variable y: amount invested into the income fund.Variable z: amount invested into the market fund.

The teacher invested 5000, hence:

x + y + z = 5000.

After a year, the amount was of $5,450, hence, considering the return rates:

1.12x + 1.08y + 1.05z = 5450.

The teacher invested twice as much in the income fund as in the money market fund, hence:

y = 2z.

Then, replacing y = 2z in the first two equations:

x + 3z = 5000 -> x = 5000 - 3z.1.12x + 3.21z = 5450.

Replacing the first equation into the second.

1.12(5000 - 3z) + 3.21z = 5450.

0.15z = 150

z = 150/0.15

z = 1000.

Hence:

y = 2z = 2000.x = 5000 - 3z = 2000.

The amounts invested in each fund are given as follows:

Growth: $2,000.Income: $2,000.Market: $2,000.

d. Could the triangle have 110 cans? 140 cans? Explain.

Answers

NO, for such a triangle to exist is impossible.

We are given two angles of 110° and 140°.

We have to find whether Triangle with given angles (110° and 140°) is possible or not.

We will utilize the basic knowledge of triangles and their angles to solve this problem. As we know, the sum of all triangle angles is 180°.

If

let the third angle be x

110° + 140° + x = 180

according to the angle sum property of triangles

then,

x = 180° - 250°

which is not possible.

And if we add 110 and 140, we will get 250° as a resultant, which is much greater than the sum of the three angles.

Therefore, a triangle with 110° and 140° as two of its angles is not possible.

Explanation:
An “exponent” means the number is multiplied by itself x number of times so if 2 is multiplied by itself two times (as in 2*2) then it is equal to 2 raised to the power 2 which is(2*2) which equals 4
In number 2, we have 3 multiplied by itself six times, so it is the same as 3 raised to the power 6
In number 3, we have 4 raised to the power 4, which means multiplying 4 by itself four times (as in 4*4*4*4) which equals 256
In number 4, we have nine raised to the power two, which means multiplying nine by itself two times as in 9*9 to get 81
In number 5, we have 8 raised to the power three which means multiplying 8 by itself 3 times, so 8*8*8=512

Let's say 125 / 5

5 can't go into 1 so we move on to 12(if it doesn't work for twelve you move on to the next number). 5 goes into 12 twice because 5*2=10.

So the first number to our answer is 2 and we do 12-10=2. Then we bring down the 5 in 125 to make 25(from 12-10=2).

Since we are dividing by 5, 5 goes into 25 five times, so the next number to our answer is 5. 25-25=0 which means we can't divide by 5 any further so our answer is 25.

Determine whether each sequence is arithmetic. If so, identify the common difference. 100,10,1,0.1, ...........

Answers

The given sequence  100,10,1,0.1, ........... does not form an AP as the common difference is not same.

What is the sequence of AP arithmetic progression?

In Arithmetic Progression, the difference between two mathematical orders is a fixed number (AP). Arithmetic Sequence is another name for it.

We'd come across a few key concepts in AP that had been labeled as:

The first term (a)Common difference (d)Term nth (an)The total of first n terms (Sn)

As shown below, the AP can also be referred to in terms of common differences.

The following is the procedure for evaluating an AP's n-th term: an = a + (n − 1) × dThe arithmetic progression sum is as follows:Sn = n/2[2a + (n − 1) × d].Common difference 'd' of an AP: d = a2 - a1 = a3 - a2 = a4 - a3 = ......      = an - an-1.

Now, the stated sequence is;  100,10,1,0.1, ...........

The series comprises of four defined terms.

Consider the initial term be 'a₁' = 100.

Consider the second term be 'a₂' = 10.

Consider the third term be 'a₃' = 1.

And, consider the fourth term is 'a₄' = 0.1.

The AP must have the equal common difference. So,

d₁ = a₃ - a₂

Substitute the values.

d₁ = 1 - 10

d₁ = -9

Thus, the computed common difference is -9.

or d₂ = a₄ - a₃ (Substitute the values)

d₂ = 0.1 - 1

d₂ = -0.9.

As, for the result it is clear that the value of both common difference is not same. That is,

d₁ ≠ d₂.

Therefore, the given sequence doesn't not form an arithmetic sequence.

Answers

Answer:

576 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The bee is at the flowerbed for 11 minutes so we can subtract that form the 15 minutes. The bee travels for 4 minutes.

So now we have that it flew to the flowerbed at 6 feet per second and back at 4 feet per second.

We have a total of 4 minutes or 240 seconds. we now have two speeds where one is 50% faster than the other. We then find the two percents that one is 50% greater than the other percent and both add up to 100. 40% +50% of 40% is 60. 60%+40% is 100%

We know it spent 40% of 240 seconds flying to the flowerbed at 6 feet per second.

40% of 240 is 96

96 seconds at 6 feet per second is 576 feet
