PLEASE HELP!! A classmate wrote the set notation for the values of the domain of a function {−5, −4, −3, −2, −1, 0} as {x | −5 ≤

x ≤ 0}. Explain the student's error.
A. The student should have listed 0 before −5
B. The set notation includes all values from −5 to 0, but the domain only includes the integer values.
C. The student should have used less than symbols rather than less than or equal to symbols.
D. The student should have used greater than or equal to symbols rather than less than or equal to symbols.

<h3>Answer: Choice B</h3>

The set notation includes all values from -5 to 0, but the domain only includes the integer values

eg: something like -1.2 is in the second set, but it is not in the set {-5,-4,-3,-2,-1}

==========================================================

Further explanation:

Let's go through the answer choices one by one

  • A. This is false because 0 does not come before -5, but instead -5 is listed first. The order -5,-4,-3,-2,-1,0 is correct meaning that -5 \le x \le 0 is the correct order as well.
  • B. This is true. A value like x = -1.2 is in the set \left\{x| -5 \le x \le 0\right\} since -1.2 is between -5 and 0; but -1.2 is not in the set {-5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0}. So the distinction is that we're either considering integers only or all real numbers in this interval. To ensure that we only look at integers, the student would have to write \left\{x| x\in\mathbb{Z}, \ -5 \le x \le 0\right\}. The portion x \in \mathbb{Z} means "x is in the set of integers". The Z refers to the German word Zahlen, which translates to "numbers".
  • C. This is false. The student used the correct inequality signs to indicate x is -5 or larger and also 0 or smaller; basically x is between -5 and 0 inclusive of both endpoints. The "or equal to" portions indicate we are keeping the endpoints and not excluding them.
  • D. This is false. Writing -5 \ge x \ge 0 would not make any sense. This is because that compound inequality breaks down into -5 \ge x \ \text{ and } \ x \ge 0. Try to think of a number that is both smaller than -5 AND also larger than 0. It can't be done. No such number exists.

A student is saving money to buy a video game. The student currently has $20 and plans to save $10 every month. Write a function
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

y = amount saved in dollars

x = months

Since the student already has $20 dollars saved (20) and plans to save $10 per month (10x), the equation so far is y = 20 + 10x.

You can use this to solve questions based of the equation/situation by filling in any numbers you are given where the variables are.

Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

x=10

Step-by-step explanation:

3(4x-12) = 84

Divide each side by 3

3/3(4x-12) = 84/3

4x-12 =28

Add 12 to each side

4x-12+12 = 28+12

4x= 40

Divide each side by 4

4x/4 = 40/4

x = 10
