Arranging the given distances from sea level on the number line, we have;

  • The error made by taking Egypt as being further from the sea level is assuming that the sea level is at the beginning (left) of the number line.

<h3>How can the number line be used to find the distance from the sea level?</h3>

The given elevation of the lowest points in the six countries are;

Country. Lowest point elevation (m)

China. →. -154

Egypt →. -133

Azerbaijan → -28

Serbia. →. 35

Israel. → -408

Laos. →. 70

Sorting the above countries from the country with the lowest point below sea level to the country with the highest point above sea level gives;

Israel → -408

China → -154

Egypt → -133

Azerbaijan → -28

Serbia. → 35

Laos. →. 70

On a number line, we have;

Israel < China < Egypt < Azerbaijan < Serbia < Laos

Relative to zero, which is the sea level, points -133 and -154 are located to the left of zero.

However, point -133 > -154, therefore, -154 < -133, the symbol < represents lesser (in this case 'lower') which indicates that China (point -154) is lower or further left from zero which is the sea level than Egypt (point -133).

The error is therefore mistaking the location of the sea level as being at the extreme left of the number line, rather than at the middle.

Find the ratio in simplest form.<br><br> 30:6<br><br> A. 1:5<br> B. 4:1<br> C. 5:1
nekit [7.7K]
ANSWER

The simplest form of the ratio
30:6
is

5:1


EXPLANATION

The ratio given to us is
30:6


We can divide each term in ratio by the same number.


To find the ratio in the simplest form we divide the terms in the ratio by their highest common factor, which is
6.


This implies that,

30:6 =  \frac{30}{6} : \frac{6}{6}


We simplify this to obtain,



30:6 = 5: 1


The correct answer is C.



Alternatively,


30:6 =   \frac{30}{6}


30:6 =   \frac{5}{1}


This implies that,


30:6 =   5:1

The graph of the function f(x)=−4(x−3)2+9 will be a parabola opening in which direction?
sesenic [268]

Answer:

downwards

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a parabola in vertex form is

f(x) = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k ) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

• if a > 0 then parabola opens upwards

• if a < 0 then parabola opens downwards

for

f(x) = - 4(x - 3)² + 9 with a = - 4 < 0 , then

the parabola opens downwards
