9th Grade Geometry Describe and correct the error in finding the length of line segment AB

Mathematics

Nookie1986 [14]1 year ago
4 0

The correct option regarding the error in calculating the length of segment AB is given as follows:

There should have been a subtraction instead of an addition, and the correct length is of 3.5 units.

<h3>Where are points A and B?</h3>

Researching the problem on the internet, it is found that points A and B are on a number line, with coordinates given as follows:

  • A: 1.
  • B: 4.5.

<h3>What is the length of the segment?</h3>

The length of the segment is the absolute value of the subtraction of the endpoints, hence:

L = |4.5 - 1| = |1 - 4.5| = 3.5.

The error is that:

There should have been a subtraction instead of an addition, and the correct length is of 3.5 units.

-6+8x=-38<br> What is the answer and explain how you got it step by step
Anarel [89]
-6 +8x = -38
8x = -32
x = -4
I did this by first adding 6 to both sides to get 8x by itself. I then divided by 8 to get x by itself. I remembered to use the - - + rule (Two negatives make a positive, a positive and a negative make a negative). Hope this helps!

Convert to a fraction: 150%
BARSIC [14]
So,  all percents can be expressed as *percent*/100
So for this,  it would be 150/100
Then we want to simplify it down and all that jazz.  Find the biggest number that BOTH the numerator AND denominator can be divided by.
In this case,  50.
150/50=3
100/50=2
So now you have 3/2
You might also want a mixed number,  or, a whole number with the leftover fraction after it.
In this case,  see how many times can 2 go into 3 FULLY.
The answer would be 1.  1 is our WHOLE NUMBER.
Then take whatever is left over from 3 and that is our numerator.  Do this,  since 2 can go into 3 ONE time FULLY,  I can say 3-(2*1) is our remainder.
That gives you one as the numerator.  2 is still the denominator.
So a mixed number of 3/2 is 1 1/2
So here is 150% as a fraction:  150/100,  3/2 or 1 1/2.

Alexandro received two quotes for new carpet for his home. The quote from Home Depot is $0.20 less per square foot than the quot
RSB [31]

Answer:

Total cost as per Lowe's is $260 more than that of Home Depot.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Alexandro received two quotes for new carpet.

One from Home Depot and other from Lowe's.

Let quote from Home Depot = \$x per sq foot

As per question statement,

The quote from Lowe's = \$x+0.20 per sq foot

Alexandro plans to buy 1,300 square feet of carpet.

Total Cost as per Home Depot's quote = \$1300x

Total Cost as per Lowe's = \$(x+0.20)\times 1300  = \$1300x + \$260

Now taking the difference of the total cost:

Lowe's total cost - Total cost as per Home Depot.

\$1300x+\$260 - \$1300x \\\Rightarrow \$260

So, the answer is:

Total cost as per Lowe's is <em>$260 more</em> than that of Home Depot.

Find the equation of the line which passes through the point (4, -1), and is parallel to the line with the equation y=1/3x+1.
alekssr [168]

Answer:y=1/3x-7/3

Step-by-step explanation:

1. y-y1=m(x-x1)

  • y+1=1/3(x-4)
  • y+1=1/3x-4/3

2. you need to isolate the variable so subtract 1 from both sides

  • y+1=1/3x-4/3
  •   -1           -1
  • y=1/3x-7/3
