Complete Question:

Sammi wanted to create a dot plot based on this tally chartin which step, if any, did Sammi make a mistake creating his dot plot? (See attached pictures showing the chart tally and the 3 steps)

A. Sammi made a mistake in Step 1 because his number line did not include all numbers in the data set.

B. Sammi made a mistake in Step 2 because he chose a title without knowing if the table represents the number of hours read per week.

C. Sammi made a mistake in Step 3 because he did not correctly plot each dot above the appropriate place on the number line.

D. Sammi did not make a mistake.

Answer:

B. Sammi made a mistake in Step 2 because he chose a title without knowing if the table represents the number of hours read per week.

Step-by-step Explanation:

Taking a good look at Sammi's tally alongside the 3 steps he took, we can tell if he made any mistake or not.

=> Option A is incorrect because Sammi plotted correctly a number line that included all values in the data set. The values from the tally chart shows 3 to 6 hours.

=> Option B is correct, Sammi made a mistake in step 2 as he fails to state an appropriate title that corresponds with what the dots he wants to plot represents.

=> Option C is incorrect because from the tally chart, we can see that Sammi correctly plotted each dot accordingly above where each supposed to be in the number line.

Therefore, we can conclude that Sammi made a mistake in Step 2. Our answer is B.

If x=0 and x=3 then 3 divided by 2x to the second power minus 2 divided by x to the second power minus 3x

Afina-wow [57]

Answer: undefined in both cases.

Explanation:

1) Expression to evaluate:

$\frac{3}{2x^2} - \frac{2}{x^2-3x}$

2) You are asked to evaluate that expression for two different cases, x = 0 and x = 3.

3) First case: x = 0

The expression cannot be evaluated at x = 0, because the denominators (both denominators) equal 0, and the division by 0 is not defined.

So, the answer is undefined.

4) Second case, x = 3

When you replace x = 3 you get:

$\frac{3}{2x^2} - \frac{2}{x^2-3x} = \frac{3}{2(3^2)} - \frac{2}{3^2-3(3)} = \frac{3}{18} - \frac{2}{9-9}$

Again, this result in a division by 0, so you conclude that it is undefined too.

The formula PV = 300 R is used in chemistry. How can this formula be solved for P

german

P = 300/V

Because in order to isolate P, you have to divide V on both sides.

Need help to write equations for 5, 6 & 7

Nutka1998 [239]

5)
The x-values go up by 1: -2, -1, 0, 1, 2
The y values are always 3 times the previous value.
This is an exponential function.

$y = a(b)^x$

We need to find a and b.
Look at x = 0.
For x = 0, y = 4.

$y = a(b)^x$

$4 = a(b)^0$

Since b^0 = 1, this simplifies to

$4 = a$

Now we know a = 4. We have

$y = 4(b)^x$

Look at x = 1. For x = 1, y = 12.

$12 = 4(b)^1$

$12 = 4b$

$b = 3$

Now that we know a and b, we can write the function.

$y = 4(3)^x$

Now that you have the function written out, notice the following.
In the exponential equation we found, the number raised to x
is the number you multiply each y value to get the next y value.
In this case, each y value is 3 times the previous one, so you have 3^x.
The way you find "a" in the exponential equation is to look at the y-coordinate
when x = 0. When x = 0, b^x is 1, so b^x drops out, and you get "a" equal to
the y-value. In this case, when x = 0, y = 4, so "a" is 4.
With b = 3, and a = 4, you can quickly write:
y = 4(3)^x.
