all questions and scored 40 marks though she got 12 correct answers. 2) Helmin also answered all the questions and scored (-14) marks though he got 5 correct answers. How many incorrect answers had they attempted?

Answer:

Tahiya attempted 3 incorrect answers.

Helmin attempted 11 incorrect answers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Correct = +4

Incorrect = -3

1) Tahiya got 12 correct answers and scored a 40, the number of incorrect answers was:

4*12-3I=40\\I=\frac{8}{3}\\I=2.67

2) Helmin got 5 correct answers and scored a -14, the number of incorrect answers was:

4*5-3I=-14\\I=\frac{34}{3}\\I=11.33

In both cases the number of incorrect answers obtained is a fraction, which means that either the data provided is inaccurate, or that the scores obtained by the students are approximate. Let's round the number of incorrect answers to the nearest whole answer.

Tahiya attempted 3 incorrect answers.

Helmin attempted 11 incorrect answers.

Select the graph for the solution of the open sentence. Click until the correct graph appears. |x| &gt; 4
nadezda [96]

Answer:

***********o                                                         o**************

<----------(-4)--------(-2)--------(0)--------(-2)----------(4)-------------->

x>4 or x<-4

Step-by-step explanation:

You are looking for numbers that give you a distance, x, greater than 4 from 0. That wouldn't be anything between -4 and 4 because these would all give you a distance less than 4 from 0. So the answer would be to shade everything greater than 4 while also shading everything less than -4.

Here is a number line <-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-----|-->

                                          -6    -4   -2    0     2     4    6    8

                                                 

Let's think about this more which of these numbers on this number line would satisfy |x|>4?

Numbers inside the numbers -4 and 4.

Or the numbers on the outside.

Let's try the inside numbers:

-2,02

|-2|>4

 2>4 is false which means -2 doesn't satisfy |x|>4

|0|>4

 0>4 is false which means 0 doesn't satisfy  |x|>4

|2|>4

 2>4 is false which means 2 doesn't satisfy  |x|>4

We could also try -4 and 4... but these will both give you a distance equal to 4 from 0.  And we are looking for greater than.

|-4|>4

 4>4 is false which mean -4 doesn't satisfy |x|>4

|4|>4

 4>4  is false which means 4 doesn't satisfy |x|>4

Now let's try the numbers on the outside:

-6,6,8

|-6|>4

 6>4 is true so -6 does satisfy |x|>4

|6|>4

 6>4 is true so 6 does satisfy |x|>4

|8|>4

 8>4 is true so 8 does satisfy |x|>4

So what I'm trying to do is convince you more that the only numbers that would satisfy |x|>4 are numbers outside the interval from -4 to 4.

So x>4 or x<-4.

On a number line the solution would look like this:

***********o                                                         o**************

<----------(-4)--------(-2)--------(0)--------(-2)----------(4)-------------->

We have holes at -4 and 4 to mean we do not include those numbers.  We would have if the inequality read |x| \ge 4.  The line underneath this inequality means to include or equals.  We do not want to include; we did not have the equal sign.   The only difference between the two solutions would be to fill the holes if you |x| \ge 4.
