A student solves the following equation and determines that the solution is −2. Is the student correct? Explain.

3/a + 2 − 6a/a2 − 4 = 1/a − 2

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

No, the student did not check the solution to the derived equation in the original equation.

No, a possible solution is a = –2, but it does not check in the original equation because it makes two of the denominators equal to zero.

No, a = –2 is an extraneous solution, and there is no solution to the original rational equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

just did on edge good luck!

Answer 2

The student is wrong in his answer to the equation

3/a + 2 − 6a/2a − 4 = 1/a − 2 is - 2, the correct answer is 2/3.

What is an equation?

An equation is written in the form of variables and constants separated by the operation of multiplication and division,

An equation states that terms in different forms on both sides of the equality sign are equal.

Multiplication and division do not separate the terms of an equation.

Given, 3/a + 2 − 6a/2a − 4 = 1/a − 2.

3/a + 2 - 3 - 4 = 1/a - 2.

3/a - 1/a = 3.

2/a = 3.

a/2 = 1/3.

a = 2/3.

A group of friends were working on a student film. They spent all their budget on props and costumes. They spent $243 on props, and 55% of the total budget on costumes. What was the total budget for their student film?

Answers

Answer:

The total budget for their student film was $540

Step-by-step explanation:

The total percentage of any quantity is 100%

∵ A group of friends was working on a student film

∵ They spent all their budget on props and costumes

The total budget of the props and costumes = 100%

∵ They spent $243 on props

∵ They spent 55% of the total budget on costumes

→ Find the percentage of the props

∴ The percentage of the props = 100% - 55%

The percentage of the props of the total budget = 45%

→ That means 45% of the total budget = 243

45% × total budget = 243

→ Change the percent to a number by divide it by 100

∵ 45% = 45 ÷ 100 = 0.45

0.45 × total budget = 243

→ Divide both sides by 0.45

The total budget = 540

A company's cereal boxes advertise that 9.65 ounces of cereal are contained in each box. In fact, the amount of cereal in a randomly selected box follows a normal distribution with mean LaTeX: \muμ = 9.70 ounces and standard deviation LaTeX: \sigmaσ = 0.03 ounces. A quality control worker selects a random sample of 5 cereal boxes. What is the standard deviation LaTeX: \sigma_{\frac{ }{x}}σ x(in ounces) of this sampling distribution?

Answers

Answer:

The standard deviation of the sampling distribution    σₓ = 0.013

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:-

Mean of the Population  μ = 9.70 ounces

Standard deviation of the Population σ = 0.03 ounces

Given size of random sample 'n' =5

The standard deviation of the sampling distribution

               σₓ = σ/√n

The value of the function g(x) is −2 when x=−5 and is 5.7 when x=6. What is the equation for the function g(x)?(1 point)

Answers

Given:

The value of the function g(x) is −2 when x=−5 and is 5.7 when x=6.

To find:

The equation of the function.

Solution:

The value of the function g(x) is −2 when x=−5. It means the graph of function passes through (-5,-2).

The value of the function g(x) is 5.7 when x=6. It means the graph of function passes through (6,5.7).

The equation of function g(x) that passes through (-5,-2) and (6,5.7) is

[tex]y-y_1=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)[/tex]

[tex]y-(-2)=\dfrac{5.7-(-2)}{6-(-5)}(x-(-5))[/tex]

[tex]y+2=\dfrac{5.7+2}{6+5}(x+5)[/tex]

[tex]y+2=\dfrac{7.7}{11}(x+5)[/tex]

[tex]y+2=0.7(x+5)[/tex]

[tex]y+2=0.7x+3.5[/tex]

Subtract 2 from both sides.

[tex]y=0.7x+3.5-2[/tex]

[tex]y=0.7x+1.5[/tex]

Therefore, the equation of function g(x) is [tex]y=0.7x+1.5[/tex].

Consider the following vectors in polar form.

|u| = 2 at ∠0°

|v| = 4 at ∠45°

What is the magnitude of vector w, if w = u – v?

|w| = 2.77
|w| = 2.95
|w| = 3.58
|w| = 5.60

Answers

Answer:

B 2.95

Step-by-step explanation:

The magnitude of w is |w| = 2.95 , Option B is the correct answer.

What is a Vector ?

Any object that has both magnitude and direction is called a Vector.

It is given that

|u| = 2 at 0 degree

|v| = 4 at 45 degree

The magnitude of the vector w = | u -v| = ?

The resultant angle will be 45 degree

By applying Cosine law

w = | u -v| = [tex]\rm \sqrt { u^2 + v^2 - 2*u*v*cos \theta}[/tex]

w = | u -v| = [tex]\rm \sqrt { 2^2 + 4^2 - 2*2*4*cos 45^o}[/tex]

w = 2.947 = 2.95

Therefore the magnitude of w is |w| = 2.95 , Option B is the correct answer.

Item 4 Question 1 Determine of which lines, if any, are parallel or perpendicular. Explain. Line a passes through (−2, 1) and (0, 3) . Line b passes through (4, 1) and (6, 4) . Line c passes through (1, 3) and (4, 1) .

Answers

Answer:

Line b and line c are perpendicular.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find if the lines are parallel, perpendicular or neither, their slopes have to be found.

Slope is denoted by m and is calculated as:

[tex]m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

Here (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are the coordinates of the point through which the line passes.

Let m1 be the slope of line a

and line a passes through (−2, 1) and (0, 3)

[tex]m_1 = \frac{3-1}{0+2} = \frac{2}{2} = 1[/tex]

Let m2 be the slope of line b which passes through (4, 1) and (6, 4)

[tex]m_2 = \frac{4-1}{6-4} = \frac{3}{2}[/tex]

Let m3 be the slope of line c which passes through (1, 3) and (4, 1)

[tex]m_3 = \frac{1-3}{4-1} = \frac{-2}{3}[/tex]

When two lines are parallel, their slopes are equal.

When two lines are parallel, the product of their slope is -1

None of the slopes are equal to each other so none of the lines are parallel

And

[tex]m2.m3\\= \frac{3}{2} * -\frac{2}{3}\\= -1[/tex]

Hence,

Line b and line c are perpendicular.

g decreased by 25 is at most five

Answers

Answer:

a) The difference of a number and six is no less than 15

x - 6 ≥ 15

b) 25 plus a number is at least 13

25 + x ≥ 13

c) g decreased by 25 is at most five

g - 25 ≤ 5

Step-by-step explanation:

a) The difference of a number and six is no less than 15

Let the number be represented by x

We difference is involved in a mathematics question, it requires the application of Subtraction operation, hence:

x - 6 ≥ 15

b) 25 plus a number is at least 13

Let the unknown number be represented by x

When at least is used in Mathematics, is means greater than or equal to a particular value,

Hence,

25 + x ≥ 13

c) g decreased by 25 is at most five

At most means less than or equal to a particular value, hence:

g - 25 ≤ 5
