A leaky pool loses 2 and one-fourth inches of water each day. Jermaine and Mildred are asked to determine the change in the amou

nt of water in the pool over 5 days. Jermaine’s Solution Mildred’s Solution 5 (Negative 2 and one-fourth) = 5 (negative 2 minus one-fourth) = negative 10 minus one-fourth = negative 10 and one-fourth 5 (Negative 2 and one-fourth) = 5 (negative 2 minus one-fourth) = negative 10 minus StartFraction 5 over 4 EndFraction = negative 11 and one-fourth Which describes the reasoning used to determine whose solution is correct? Jermaine is correct because Negative 10 minus one-fourth equals Negative 10 and one-fourth Jermaine is correct because he distributed 5 correctly. Mildred is correct because she multiplied 5 by –2 but not by Negative one-fourth. Mildred is correct because she distributed 5 correctly.

Answer:

  Mildred is correct because she distributed 5 correctly

Step-by-step explanation:

We cannot tell exactly which solution goes with which student, but we believe you are saying ...

Mildred’s Solution:

  5 (Negative 2 and one-fourth) = 5 (negative 2 minus one-fourth)

  = negative 10 minus StartFraction 5 over 4 EndFraction

  = negative 11 and one-fourth

This solution describes the correct distribution of 5. Whoever it belongs to gave the correct solution.

Al sumar y/o restar números decimales, siempre se debe aplicar la norma de los signos. * 1 punto FALSO VERDADERO
Luden [163]

Answer:

La norma de los signos es para el producto de números reales, y la norma es la siguiente.

(+)*(+) = (+)

(+)*(-) = (-)

(-)*(+) = (-)

(-)*(-) = (+)

Es decir, el producto de dos números de mismo signo es siempre positivo

El producto de dos números de distinto signo es siempre negativo.

Particularmente, para la suma esta norma no funciona (pues no está definida para la suma)

Pero en casos como:

5 - (-4)  

(esto sería: "la diferencia entre cinco y menos cuatro")

notar que podemos reescribir esto como:

5 + (-1)*(-4)

Ahora podemos aplicar la norma de los signos:

5 + 4 = 9

Donde aplicamos la norma de los signos,  

Podemos concluir que, si bien es una regla que aplica al producto, siempre la tenemos que tener en cuenta en cualquier operación que hagamos.

Por lo podemos concluir que la respuesta correcta es verdadero.

Find the 98th term for the arithmetic sequence 3,4.2,5.4,6.6,7.8,...
prisoha [69]
A₁ = 3
a₂ = 4.2

d = a₂ - a₁
   = 4.2 - 3
   = 1.2

a₉₈ = a₁ + d(n-1)
      = 3 + 1.2(98-1)
      = 3 + 1.2×97
      = 3 + 116.4
      = 119.4
