Sophia determined that the expression Negative (4 x minus 5) + 2 (x minus 3) is equivalent to –2x – 5 by using the steps below.


Expression: Negative (4 x minus 5) + 2 (x minus 3)
Expression: –2x – 5
Step 1:
Choose a value of x
Choose x = 1.
Choose x = negative 1.
Step 2: Substitute
Negative (4 (1) minus 5) + 2 (1 minus 3)
Negative 2 (negative 1) minus 5
Step 3: Evaluate
Negative (4 (1) minus 5) + 2 (1 minus 3) = negative (negative 1) + 2 (negative 2) = negative 3
Negative 2 (negative 1) minus 5 = 2 minus 5 = negative 3
Step 4:
Compare
Since –3 = –3, the two expressions are equivalent.

Which explains whether Sophia is correct?
She is correct because the value of the two expressions are the same in Step 3.
She is correct because she substituted opposite values in Step 1.
She is not correct because she did not substitute the same number in both expressions in Step 1.
She is not correct because she did not perform the correct order of operations in Step 3.

Answers

Answer 1

The correct statement is:

"She is not correct because she did not substitute the same number in both expressions in Step 1."

Is Sophia correct?

First, let's see if Sophia is correct.

She starts with the expression:

-(4x - 5) + 2*(x - 3) = -2x - 5

Expanding the left side:

-4x + 5 + 2x - 6 = -2x - 5

-2x -1 = -2x - 5

So the constant term is different.

Now, what Sophia does is evaluating in x = 1 and x = -1. You can't do that when finding equivalent expressions. (never evaluate in different numbers).

"She is not correct because she did not substitute the same number in both expressions in Step 1."

A four-sided shape has four congruent angles and sides. Which quadrilateral could it be? A. quadrilateral B. trapezoid C. square D. parallelogram

Answers

Answer:

square

Step-by-step explanation:

Option A is also correct somehow

These things can be possible in three optionsquadrilateral (Off course)ParallelogramSquare

but we are not sure about first 2 if they have equal sides or angles

only square have each angle 90 and all sides equal

So Option C is correct

Answer:

C. square

Step-by-step explanation:

Congruent means "the same" (having the same shape and size).

Any four-sided, 2-dimensional shape with straight sides is called a quadrilateral.

There are 6 special types of quadrilaterals:

Rectangle

Opposite sides are parallel and equal in lengthAll interior angles are 90°

Square

All sides are equal in lengthAll interior angles are 90°

Rhombus

All sides are equal in lengthOpposite sides are parallelOpposite angles are equal

Parallelogram

Opposite sides parallel and equal in lengthOpposite angles are equal

Trapezoid

One pair of opposite parallel sides

Isosceles Trapezoid

One pair of opposite parallel sidesOne pair of non-parallel sides equal in lengthTwo pairs of equal base angles

Kite

Two pairs of adjacent sides equal in lengthThe angles included between the sides of differing lengths are equal

Conclusion

A four-sided shape that has four congruent angles and sides is a SQUARE.

Victoria bought a dress on 40% discount, and saved a massive $60. How much did the dress cost originally? How much did she pay for it?

Answers

Answer:

Answer: Original price = $150   Amount Paid = $90

Step-by-step explanation:

First we make a proportion 60/x = 40/100. When we cross multiply and divided to get x by itself we get $150 dollars. This is the original price of the dress. Now we take $150-$60 and we get $90. This is what Victoria paid for the dress after the 40% discount.

A second-degree polynomial takes the form

[tex]f(x) = ax^2 + bx + c[/tex]

for some constants a, b, and c. Such a function is continuous and differentiable everywhere in its domain.

Differentiating f(x) with respect to x gives

[tex]\dfrac{df}{dx} = 2ax + b[/tex]

We're told that

• f(x) is increasing on [0, 8]

• f(x) is decreasing on ]-10, 0]

and since df/dx is continuous, this tells us that df/dx = 0 when x = 0. It follows that b = 0, and we can write

[tex]f(x) = ax^2 + c[/tex]

We're also given that the curve passes through the point (-8, 4), which gives rise to the constraint

[tex]f(-8) = 64a - 8b + c = 4 \implies 64a + c = 4[/tex]

Since f(x) is decreasing on ]-10, 0], we have df/dx < 0 when x = -8, so

[tex]2ax+b < 0 \implies -16a < 0 \implies a > 0[/tex]

This means f(x) is minimized when x = 0, with min{f(x)} = c, so the co-domain of f(x) is the set {f(x) ∈ ℝ : f(x) ≥ c}.

Without another condition, that's all we can say about the co-domain. There are infinitely many choices for the constants a and c that satisfy the given conditions. For example,

a = 1, c = -60   ⇒   f(x) = x² - 60   ⇒   f(-8) = 4

⇒   co-domain = {f(x) ∈ ℝ : f(x) ≥ -60}

a = 2, c = -124   ⇒   f(x) = 2x² - 124   ⇒   f(-8) = 4

⇒   co-domain = {f(x) ∈ ℝ : f(x) ≥ -124}

etc.

x = 7.

Area A = 1/2 * base * height

What is the area of a triangle whose vertices are X(1, 1), Y(3, -1), and Z(4,4)?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that in this diagram, point A represents point X, point B represents point Y, and point C represents point Z.

From the diagram, it appears as if [tex]\overline{XZ} \perp \overline{XY}[/tex]. To determine if this is the case, we can find the slopes of both segments.

[tex]m_{\overline{XZ}}=\frac{4-1}{4-1}=1\\m_{\overline{XY}}=\frac{-1-1}{3-1}=-1[/tex]

Since these slopes are negative reciprocals, we know that they are perpendicular.

This means we can use the formula [tex]A=\frac{1}{2}bh[/tex], where b is the base (XY) and h is the height (XZ).

Note these are interchangeable.

Using the distance formula,

[tex]XY=\sqrt{(3-1)^{2}+(-1-1)^{2}}=2\sqrt{2}\\XZ=\sqrt{(4-1)^{2}+(4-1)^{2}}=3\sqrt{2}[/tex]

This means the area is [tex]\frac{1}{2}(2\sqrt{2})(3\sqrt{2})=\boxed{6}[/tex]

When you are trying to find the mean in a dot plot do you want to use the number of dots of the actual number underneath of the dots?

Answers

The number of dots tells us how many times we need to add the actual number underneath the dots. So you need to use both.

Which number should you use for the mean?

Let's suppose we have the next set:

{2, 2, 2, 4, 5, 5, 6}

If you graphed it in a dot plot, then you will have:

3 dots above the number 2.1 dot above the number 4.2 dots above the number 5.1 dot above the number 6.

A total of 7 dots.

To find the mean, we just compute:

[tex]M = \frac{2 + 2 + 2 + 4 + 5 + 5 + 6}{7} = 3.7[/tex]

So the number of dots tells us how many times we need to add the actual number underneath the dots. In conclusion, to find the mean you need to use both, the number of dots and the number underneath.
