Fernando evaluated the expression below. StartFraction 5 (9 minus 5) over 2 EndFraction + (negative 2) (negative 5) + (negative

3) squared = StartFraction 5 (4) over 2 EndFraction minus 10 + 9 = StartFraction 20 over 2 EndFraction minus 10 + 9 = 10 minus 10 + 9 = 9. What was Fernando's error? Fernando evaluated the numerator of the fraction incorrectly. Fernando simplified StartFraction 20 over 2 EndFraction incorrectly. Fernando incorrectly found the product of –2 and –5.

Question:

Fernando evaluated the expression below.

\frac{5(9-5)}{2} + (-2)(-5) + (-3)^2 = \frac{5(4)}{2} -10 + 9 = \frac{20}{2} - 10 + 9 = 10 - 10 + 9 = 9

What was Fernando's error?

- Fernando evaluated the numerator of the fraction incorrectly.

- Fernando simplified 20/2 incorrectly.

- Fernando incorrectly found the product of –2 and –5.

- Fernando evaluated (-3)² incorrectly.

Answer:

- Fernando incorrectly found the product of –2 and –5.

Explanation:

Given

\frac{5(9-5)}{2} + (-2)(-5) + (-3)^2 = \frac{5(4)}{2} -10 + 9 = \frac{20}{2} - 10 + 9 = 10 - 10 + 9 = 9

Required

Spot the error

The error in this evaluation is the product of -2 and -5 at step 2

When a negative number (-2) is multiplied by a negative number (-5), the outcome of the multiplication is always a positive number (10).

So, the result of -2 * -5 is 10 but Fernando incorrectly calculated it as -10.

Solving the expression, correctly

\frac{5(9-5)}{2} + (-2)(-5) + (-3)^2 = \frac{5(4)}{2} + 10 + 9

\frac{5(9-5)}{2} + (-2)(-5) + (-3)^2 = \frac{20}{2} + 10 + 9

\frac{5(9-5)}{2} + (-2)(-5) + (-3)^2 = 10 + 10 + 9

\frac{5(9-5)}{2} + (-2)(-5) + (-3)^2 = 29

Hence, the actual result of the expression is 29 (not 9 as calculated by Fernando).

valentinak56 [21]

A 270 word essay about the book DEADLY LITTLE VOICES
Amanda [17]

Answer:

High school junior Camelia thought her powers of psychometry only gave her the ability to sense the future through touch. But now she’s started to hear voices. Mean voices. Berating her, telling her how ugly she is, and that she’d be better off dead. It’s a troubling development that has Camelia terrified for her mental stability, especially since her deranged aunt with a suicidal history just moved into the family house. More torturing, ex-boyfriend Ben, who has similar psychometric abilities, has been spending more time with their classmate Alejandra, even as her own feelings for Adam grow stronger. Even her closest friends, Kimmie and Wes, are not sure how to handle her erratic behavior. Still, the bond between Camelia and Ben is palpable.

 With the line between right and wrong fraying, Camelia turns to pottery to get a grasp on her emotions. She begins sculpting a beautiful figure skater, only to receive frightening premonitions that someone’s in danger. But who is the victim? And how can Camelia help them when she is on the brink of losing her own sanity?

In the midst of losing your own sanity, would you be completely absorbed in protecting someone else? Every time I read about Camelia, I'm baffled. This girl either has a hero complex or she is just so amazingly genuinely good-hearted that she simply wants to save everyone. However, I'm leaning more towards the hero complex. No matter what, this girl just can't stay away from helping someone she THINKS could be in danger.

This book is a page turner, just like its predecessors. I read it in one go and couldn't put it down. And like the others, it is so much fun to read alone at night. It's just enough suspense to give you that thrill while still ensuring a decent night's sleep. If you don't pick up another book, that is. The writing of the book is very fast paced making it an extremely easy and fun read. Laurie keeps you on the edge of your seat guessing and wondering what will happen next as Camelia and crew continue on their journey to understand the strange power of psychometry.
