Cathy is making bows from a ribbon that is 11 1/5 yards long. She needs to cut the ribbon into equal pieces that measure 2/5 yard to make each bow. How many bows can Cathy make? Sam solved the problem below but got it incorrect. Explain Sam's error.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

28 bows

Step-by-step explanation:

Each bow is an equal piece.

1 bow = 2/5 yard

Total yard of ribbon = 11 1/5 yards

Hence:

2/5 yard = 1 bow

11 1/5 yards = x

2/5x = 11 1/5

x = 11 1/5 ÷ 2/5

x = 56/5 ÷ 2/5

x = 56/5 × 5/2

x = 28 bows

Therefore, Cathy can make 28 bows

What is the domain and range?


Answers

Answer:

The domain D = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

The range R = {3, 4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the ordered pairs or points on the graph

{(0, 4), (1, 4), (2, 4), (3, 3), (4, 3), (5, 3)}

We know that the domain of the function is the set of input or arguments for which the function is real and defined.

In other words,

Domain refers to all the possible sets of input values on the x-axis.

It means the set of all the x-coordinates of the given points or ordered pairs on a graph will be the domain.

Thus,

The domain D = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5}

Determining the range:

We also know that range is the set of values of the dependent variable for which a function is defined.

In other words,

Range refers to all the possible sets of output values on the y-axis.

It means the set of all the y-coordinates of the given points or ordered pairs on a graph will be the range.

Thus,

The range R = {3, 4}

Note: Please note that the duplicated elements in the range are written only once.

what is the equation of a line that is perpendicular to the line whose equation is Y=3/5x-2 and that passes through the point (3,-6)?

Answers

The answer is y=-5/3x-1

The equation of the line that  is perpendicular to the line whose equation is Y=3/5x-2 and that passes through the point (3,-6) is;  y=-5/3x-1

What is the Point-slope form?

The equation of the straight line has its slope and given point.

If we have a non-vertical line that passes through any point(x1, y1) and has a gradient m. then general point (x, y) must satisfy the equation

y-y₁ = m(x-x₁)

Where x₁ - x coordinate, y₁ - y coordinate, m - slope

Point (3,-6)

Then perpendicular line whose equation is Y=3/5x-2

Slope m = -3/5

Now Write the equation as;

y=-5/3x-1

Hence, the equation of the line that  is perpendicular to the line whose equation is Y=3/5x-2 and that passes through the point (3,-6) is;  y=-5/3x-1

Determine if the function represented by the table is linear. Explain.
х -10 -14 -18-24
у 6 10 16 24

Answers

Answer:

The given table DOES NOT represent a linear function as there is NO CONSTANT change in x and y values.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the table

x     -10       -14         -18         -24

y       6         10          16          24

A linear function has a constant change in x and a constant change in y values.

In order to determine whether the table represents the linear function or not, we need to check whether there is constant change in x and y.

It is clear that there is a NO constant change in x

i.e. -14-(-10) = -4, -18-(-14) = -4, -24-(-18) = -6

It is clear that there is a NO constant change in y

i.e. 10-6=4, 16-10 = 6, 24-16 = 8

Therefore, the given table DOES NOT represent a linear function as there is NO CONSTANT change in x and y values.

What is the most appropriate level of accuracy for measuring the height of a tree

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Depends on the tree.

If it's like a pine or spruce, then I would use maybe 2 inches lattitude. If it's really leafy with big leaves, perhaps a little more lattitude is needed, like maybe 1/2 a foot.

It also depends on the season. Unless the pine or spruce is covered with snow, I wouldn't change the latitude. If it is covered with snow, knock the snow off.

For something like a maple in winter, I'd reduce the latitude to 3 inches......

An isosceles triangle has angle measures of (2x degrees) and (5x degrees). What are three possible angle measures of the triangle? Show all work.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]40^{\circ},\:40^{\circ},\: 100^{\circ}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The interior angles of any triangle always add up to [tex]180^{\circ}[/tex]. In an isosceles triangle, (at least) two sides are congruent and therefore their base angles are also congruent. We can then form the following equation:

[tex]2x+2x+5x=180[/tex], where [tex]x[/tex] is some constant.

Solving, we get:

[tex]9x=180,\\x=20[/tex]

Therefore, plugging our constant back in, our angles are:

[tex]2(20),\: 2(20), \: 5(20), \\\fbox{$40^{\circ},\:40^{\circ},\: 100^{\circ}$}[/tex].

Note this is only one group of possible angles. We could've also set the angle represented by [tex]5x[/tex] to be the pair of angles that are congruent, and depending on your definition of isosceles, each angle measure could be [tex]60^{\circ}[/tex] (equilateral).

Answer:

100, 40, 40

Step-by-step explanation:

First, do 2x+2x+5x because an isosceles triangle has two equal angles. We know that a triangle's total angle is 180 degrees so we do 180/9=20 x=20. Then multiply 2 by 20 to get 40. Then multiply 5 by 20 to get 100. So you get 40 40 100.

PLEASE HELPPP!!!Which function passes through the points 2,15 and 3,26?

Answers

Answer:

B. y = 11x - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

first we find the slope by using the formula

[tex]m = \frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]

Now let (2,15) be [tex](x_{1}, y_{1} )[/tex] , and (3, 26) be [tex](x_{2} , y_{2} )[/tex].  So now the slope is equal too.....

[tex]m = \frac{y_{2} -y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }= \frac{26 - 15}{3-2} = \frac{11}{1} = 11[/tex]

Now we use the slope-point form of the equation and obtain the following....

[tex]y - y_{1} = m(x - x_{1} )\\y - 15 = 11(x - 2)\\y - 15= 11x -22\\y = 11x - 22 + 15\\y = 11x - 7[/tex]

A snail climbs to the top of a coconut tree 18 meters high. In an hour it will climb 2 meters. But if it go 2 meters, it will slips down one meter. Then how long does it take for the snaik to reach the top of the coconut?

Answers

Answer:

The snail will reach the top of the coconut in 18 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the snail will climb 2 meters in 1 hour but it will slip down one meter for every 2 meters climbed, then the distance traveled will be:

[tex] d = 2 m - 1 m = 1 m [/tex]                                        

Since in 1 hour, it climbs 2 meters minus 1 meter, the time in which the snail will reach the top is:

[tex] t = \frac{1 h}{1 m}*18 m = 18 h [/tex]      

Therefore, the snail will reach the top of the coconut in 18 hours.

I hope it helps you!
