20 POINTS! The answer is x=4 and x= -5, how should I word it, saying how he is wrong?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The student took the numbers for the factors 5, -4 for the zeros  instead of solving the equation

The zeros are -5, 4

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 +x - 20=0

What 2 number multiply to -20 and add to 1

5*-4 = -20

5+-4 = 1

(x+5)(x-4) =0

Using the zero product property

x+5 = 0  x-4 =0

x=-5  x=4

Answer 2

Answer:

Solution given:

equation is:

x²+x-20=0

doing middle term factorisation

note:we need to get 1 while subtracting factor of the product of constant and coefficient of x².

20*1=20=2*5*2*1

we get 1 while subtracting 5-2*2=5-4

now substitute value 5-4 at coefficient of x

we get

x²+(5-4)x-20=0

now

distribute

x²+5x-4x-20=0

taking common from each two term

x(x+5)-4(x+5)=0

again taking common (x+5) and keeping remaining at another bracket

(x+5)(x-4)=0

either

x+5=0

x=-5

or

x-4=0

x=4

Error is:

x= 4 not -4

x=-5 not 5.

The sum of 'n' terms of an arithmetic sequence is 4n^2+3n. What is the first term, the common difference, and the sequence?

Answers

Answer:

The sequence has first term 7 and common difference is 8.

So the sequence is f(n)=7 + 8(n-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a be the first term.

Let a+d be the second term where d is the common difference.

Then a+2d is the third....

And a+(n-1)d is the nth term.

Adding these terms we get:

an+(n-1)(n)/2×d

For the first term of this sum I seen we had n amount of a's and for the second term I used the well known identity sum of the first n positive integers is n(n+1)/2.

Let's simplify:

an+(n-1)(n)/2×d

Distribute:

an+(n^2d/2)-(nd/2)

Find common denominator:

(2an/2)+(n^2d/2)-(nd/2)

Combine terms into one:

(2an+n^2d-nd)/2

Reorder terms:

(n^2d+2an-nd)/2

Regroup terms:

(n^2d+(2a-d)n)/2

We want the following sum though:

4n^2+3n

This means d/2=4 (so d=8) and (2a-d)/2=3.

So plug d=8 into second equation to solve for a.

(2a-8)/2=3

2a-8=6

2a=14

a=7

The sequence has first term 7 and common difference is 8.

So the sequence is f(n)=7 + 8(n-1).

The correct answer to the question is Statistics (Option D).

What is statistics?

Statistics is a field of study in mathematics which deals with raw data. It is a tool which refines the data to produce meaningful results and a pathway to better understanding of it.

Some examples of raw data can be population sample which loves to see a particular TV show or a sample of students getting so and so marks in Math test.

Data is analyzed mainly by three different measure of central tendency that is mean, median and mode.

Mean is the average value of given discrete data.Median is the middle value when the data is sorted in ascending or descending order.Mode is the value that has highest frequency.

Armando's carpet has an area of 220 square feet. He hires the Carpet Pro carpet cleaning service, which is able to clean 9 square feet of his carpet every minute. Therefore, in the first minute, CarpetPro is able to clean 9 square feet of Armando's carpet (leaving 211 square feet remaining to be cleaned). In the second minute, the cleaner is again able to clean 9 square feet of carpet (leaving 202 square feet to be cleaned), etc. Which of the following functions expresses the number of square feet that still remain to be cleaned after t minutes from the time that the carpet cleaner began cleaning this carpet.
a. A(t) = 220 - 9
b. A(t) = 220 - 0.1
c. A(t) = 220(0.1)
d. A(t) = 220(0.96)
e. A(t) 220 - 0.96

Answers

Answer:

The answer is A

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer needs to be in slope-intercept form or y=mx+b because the amount of carpet being cleaned every minute is a constant decrease of 9 square feet.

So our b value (or how much carpet cleaned at 0 minutes) is 220

And our m value (or slope or how much carpet is being cleaned every minute) is 9

So if we plug the variables with the tangible numbers we get A(t) = -9x+220 or A(t) = 220-9x.

A bag contains 8 red balls and 3 white balls. Two balls are drawn without replacement. (Enter your probabilities as fractions.) (a) What is the probability that the second ball is white, given that the first ball is red

Answers

Answer:

12/55

Step-by-step explanation:

Probability is the ratio of the number of possible outcomes to the number of total outcomes.

Given that the bag contains 8 red balls and 3 white balls, the probability of picking a red ball

p(r) = 8/(8+3) = 8/11

Probability of picking a white ball

= 3/11

when a red ball is picked first, the total number of balls reduces to 10 hence the probability that the second ball is white, given that the first ball is red

=8/11 * 3/10

= 24/110

= 12/55

Answer:

A) [tex]\$\ 2932.5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

One is given that a certain amount of money was allotted to be spent on supplies. However, there was a discount applied to the purchase. One is asked to find the amount of money actually spent on the supplies.

$3450 was the initial price that was to be spent on supplies, however, a (15%) discount was applied to this price. Subtract (15) from (100) to find the percent value that was actually spent on supplies.

[tex]100-15=85[/tex]

(85%) of the allotted money was actually spent on supplies. Now one has to find out the numerical value of the amount spent. Divide (85) by (100) and then multiply it by the amount of money allotted to the purchase, to fin the amount actually spent on the purchase.
