Question:
Which of the following expressions represents the distance between 1.7 and −1/2 on a number line?
Choose 1 answer:
C. None of the above
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Numbers: 1.7 and -1/2
Required
Determine the distance
To calculate the distance, we start by calculating the difference between the given numbers;
Then, we calculate the distance;
<em>In this case, the distance is meant to be positive; So, we'll introduce the symbol for absolute value;</em>
Hence,
Substitute 
for Difference;
<em>Hence, the correct option is B</em>
Answer:
NO. Alex was wrong.
The total dive distance is 21 + 17 = 38 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Alex was wrong because his direction of diving is from above the water through the surface of the water to under the water.
So his direction of travelling is not opposite but the same.
Therefore the total distance traveled by Alex = distance traveled from the diving board to the water surface + distance traveled from the water surface to down below the water
Distance traveled from the diving board to the water surface = 21 feet
Distance traveled from the water surface down below the water = 17 feet
Total distance traveled by Alex = 21 feet + 17 feet
= 38 feet.
Thus, Alex was wrong because the the total distance traveled by Alex was 38 feet.
The change in the volume of water in 1 minute is a decrease of 0.16 milliliters.
Since a water tank in Stewart's home had a small, steady leak loss of 1 3/5 mL in 10 min, to find the change in the volume of water in 1 minute, the following calculation must be performed:
- The total leak must be calculated and divided by the 10 minutes duration.
- 3/5 = 0.6
- 1 + 0.6 = 1.6
- 1.6 / 10 = 0.16
Therefore, the change in the volume of water in 1 minute is a decrease of 0.16 milliliters.

Answer:
Correct rate of change is -5; correct initial value is 3.
Step-by-step explanation:
The rate of change is the coefficient of the x term, which here is -5. So Bryan has the rate of change wrong.
The initial value of the function is found by letting x = 0. Here, we get
y = -5(0) + 3, or y = b = 3. The initial value is 3, not -5.
