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 baker buys 19 apples of two different varieties to make pies. The total cost of the apples is $5.10. Granny Smith apples cost
Natasha2012 [34]

The baker bought 7 gala apples, and 12 granny smiths apples

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Let "x" be the number of gala apples bought

Let "y" be the number of granny smith apples bought

Cost of 1 gala apple = $ 0.30

Cost of 1 granny smith apple = $ 0.25

<em><u>A baker buys 19 apples of two different varieties to make pies</u></em>

Therefore,

number of gala apples bought + number of granny smith apples bought = 19

x + y = 19 --------- eqn 1

<em><u>The total cost of the apples is $5.10</u></em>

Therefore, we can frame a equation as:

number of gala apples bought x Cost of 1 gala apple + number of granny smith apples bought x Cost of 1 granny smith apple = 5.10

x \times 0.30 + y \times 0.25 = 5.10

0.3x + 0.25y = 5.1 -------- eqn 2

<em><u>Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2</u></em>

From eqn 1,

x = 19 - y ---------- eqn 3

<em><u>Substitute eqn 3 in eqn 2</u></em>

0.3(19 - y) + 0.25y = 5.1

5.7 - 0.3y + 0.25y = 5.1

5.7 - 0.05y = 5.1

0.05y = 5.7 - 5.1

0.05y = 0.6

y = 12

<em><u>Substitute y = 12 in eqn 3</u></em>

x = 19 - 12

x = 7

Thus the baker bought 7 gala apples, and 12 granny smiths apples

The soccer field is 105 meters long. The football field is 120 yards long. Which is longer?
ASHA 777 [7]

The football field is longer than soccer field.

<h3>What is a expression? What is a mathematical equation? What is unit conversion?</h3>

A mathematical expression is made up of terms (constants and variables) separated by mathematical operators. A mathematical equation is used to equate two expressions. Equation modelling is the process of writing a mathematical verbal expression in the form of a mathematical expression for correct analysis, observations and results of the given problem. Conversion of units is the conversion between different units of measurement for the same quantity, typically through multiplicative conversion factors.

We have a soccer field that is 105 meters long and a football field is 120 yards long.

In one yard, we have -

1 yard = 0.9144 meters

Then, in 120 yards, we will have -

120 x 0.9144 = 109.728 meters

Now, 109.728 meters > 105 meters.

Therefore, the football field is longer than soccer field.
