A friend told Sandy that absolute value makes everything positive so Sandy wrote the equation |x-6|=5 as x+6=5. Do you agree with the statement, or with what Sandy did to the equation? Explain your answer.

Answers

Answer 1
Sandy is incorrect. Absolute value marks serve the same purpose as parenthesis. So to solve the equation correctly, you would find the answer to x-6. Absolute value is the distance from zero, so the answer is 5. For example, if the answer was -5 then the answer would still be 5 because it is 5 units away from zero.

Find the first four terms of the arithmetic sequence
where a1 = 2 and d = 5 (use formula)

Answers

Answer:

first four terms are 2, 7, 12, 17

Step-by-step explanation:

use this formula:  [tex]a_{n}[/tex] = [tex]a_{1}[/tex] + (n - 1)· d

where 'n' equals the position in the sequence the term is in and 'd' is the common difference

if [tex]a_{1}[/tex] = 2 and d = 5 are given, plug those into formula

[tex]a_{1}[/tex] = 2

[tex]a_{2}[/tex] = 2 + (2 - 1)·5 = 2+5 = 7

[tex]a_{3}[/tex] = 2 + (3 - 1)·5 = 2+2(5) = 12

[tex]a_{4}[/tex] = 2+(4 - 1)·5 = 2+3(5) = 17

The first four terms of the arithmetic sequence are 2, 7, 12, and 17.

What is an arithmetic sequence?

It is a sequence where the difference between each consecutive term is the same.

We have,

First term = 2

Common difference = 5

First term = 2

Second term = 2 + 5 = 7

Third term = 7 + 5 = 12

Third term = 12 + 5 = 17

Thus,

The first four terms of the arithmetic sequence are 2, 7, 12, and 17.

Answer:

It would be the fourth option, -4/3 p + (-2/5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that there's a positive sign followed by a negative sign, when we simplify this it becomes a negative sign. So simplified, this expression would be -4/3 p - 2/5, which makes it the closest to the given expression.

EDIT:

I just realized that there's more than one option, hence the instruction. So I looked through the options again and I believe the other answer would be -2/5 - 4/3 p (second option) -- the fractions only switched places unlike the other expressions where the negative/positive signs aren't equivalent to the given fraction.

A group of friends wants to go to the amusement park. They have $79.50 to spend on parking and admission. Parking is $19.50, and tickets cost $10 per person, including tax. Write and solve an equation which can be used to determine x, the number of people who can go to the amusement park.

Answers

Answer:

x = 6. six friends can go.

Step-by-step explanation:

79.50 - 19.50 = 60.00

60/10 = 6 people

The number of people that can go to the amusement park is six.

The information in the question can be represented with this equation:

Total amount the friends have = cost of parking + (cost of ticket x number of friends)

$79.50 = $19.50 + $10 × x

$79.50 = $19.50 + $10x

The equation that would be used to solve for the number of friends that can go to the amusement park, the equation that would be used is: $79.50 = $19.50 + $10x

Combine similar terms

$79.50 - $19.50 =  $10x

$60 = $10x

Divide both sides of the equation by 10

$60 / $10 = x

x = 6

in the coordinate plane, triangle ABC has vertices A(1,-2), B(1,0.5), and C(2,1) and triangle DEF has vertices D(4,-3), E(4,2), and F(6,3). The triangles are similar because DEF is the image of ABC under a dilation with center (_,_) and scale factor ___.

PLEASE HELPP​

Answers

Answer:

(A) the center of dilation is at (-2,-1)

(E) the scale factor is 2

The triangle DEF is a dilation of triangle ABC with center of dilation at (0,0) and scale factor of 0.5.

What is Triangle?

A triangle is a three-sided polygon that consists of three edges and three vertices.

The ratio of the lengths of corresponding sides of triangles ABC and DEF.

AB and DE are corresponding sides, so:

AB/DE = (distance between A and B) / (distance between D and E)

= 2.5 / 5

= 0.5

BC and EF are corresponding sides, so:

BC/EF = (distance between B and C) / (distance between E and F)

=1.118 / 2.236

= 0.5

AC and DF are corresponding sides, so:

AC/DF = (distance between A and C) / (distance between D and F)

AC/DF = 2.236 / 4.472

= 0.5

We see that all three ratios are equal to 0.5.

Hence, the triangle DEF is a dilation of triangle ABC with center of dilation at (0,0) and scale factor of 0.5.

cos(0)=square root 3/3, sin 0<0. what is the value of sin0​

Answers

Answer:

sin θ = [tex]\frac{\sqrt{6} }{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

cos θ = [tex]\frac{\sqrt{3} }{3}[/tex]

From the trigonometric functions,

cos θ = [tex]\frac{adjacent}{hypotenus}[/tex]

⇒ adjacent = [tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex], and the hypotenuse = 3

Let the opposite side be represented by x, applying the Pythagoras theorem we have;

[tex]/hyp/^{2}[/tex] = [tex]/adj/^{2}[/tex] + [tex]/opp/^{2}[/tex]

[tex]/3/^{2}[/tex] = [tex](\sqrt{3} )^{2}[/tex] + [tex]x^{2}[/tex]

9 = 3 + [tex]x^{2}[/tex]

[tex]x^{2}[/tex] = 9 - 3

   = 6

x = [tex]\sqrt{6}[/tex]

Thus, opposite side = [tex]\sqrt{6}[/tex]

So that,

sin θ = [tex]\frac{opposite}{hypotenuse}[/tex]

        = [tex]\frac{\sqrt{6} }{3}[/tex]

Therefore,

sin θ = [tex]\frac{\sqrt{6} }{3}[/tex]

The population of fish in a pond in relation to the number of years since stocking is depicted on a graph. For the first few years after the pond is stocked, the population grows slowly.

The population begins to grow again when the remaining fish reproduce. Which graph depicts the situation described above? ​

Answers

Answer:

Graph a

Step-by-step explanation:

the slope is proportional to the data

Graph A depicts the situation described above. Thus, option A is correct.  

What is a graph?

The link across lines as well as points is described by a graph, which is a mathematical description of a connection. A graph is made up of certain points and connecting lines. It doesn't matter how long the lines are or where the terminals are located.

The population of fish in a pond grows slowly for the first few years after it is stocked, then levels off. A pollutant kills off almost all of the fish 20 years after stocking, then the population begins to grow again when the remaining fish reproduce which is represented in graph A.

If every pair of datasets is connected in the same fashion, by multiplying by a factor, then the connection is proportional. The slope of a line is the slope of the regression. Like the ratio constant, this slope shows how rapidly a quantity is rising or falling.

Therefore, option A is the correct option.

How to multiply Decimals by power of 10?

Answers

Answer:

maybe this well help

Step-by-step explanation:

When you multiply a decimal by a power of 10, simply move the decimal place to the right as many places as there are 0s in the power of 10. When you divide a decimal by a power of 10, simply move the decimal place to the left as many places as there are 0s in the power of 10.

Answer:

You can convert the power of 10 to a decimal and multiply it by 0.502, or you can move the decimal place of 0.502 to the left depending on the value of the exponent:

0.502 x 10^2=0.00502 → 10^2 is equal to 100. So, 0.502 x 100=0.00502 OR 10 is raised to a power of 2, so move the decimal place 2 times to get 0.00502.

0.502 x 10^3=0.000502 → 10^3 is equal to 1000. So, 0.502 x 1000=0.000502 OR 10 is raised to a power of 3, so move the decimal place 3 times to get 0.000502.
