Answer:

Sebastian's error = 9 + (-7)

The correct expression for Sebastian's movement = 7 + (-9)

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Lobby as a reference point

Sebastian's took 7 floors to his room

Hence, Lobby + 7 floors = Sebastian's room

Then, he took 9 floors down to the garage

Hence, Room - 9 floors = Garage

Therefore the total movement for Sebastian = Number of floors taken to his room + Number of floors taken to the garage

= 7 +(-9)

a) Sebastian's error was making the number of movements to his room negative, it is meant to be positive because he took the elevators UP

b) Sebastian's error was making the number of movements to the elevator positive, it is meant to be negative because he took the elevators DOWN to the garage

Hence, the correct expression = 7 +(-9)

How to form a polynomial with given zeros and degree and multiplicity calculator
ohaa [14]

Answer:

Taking P(x) = x³-12x-16 as an example

Step-by-step explanation:

For a polynomial, if

x = a is a zero of the function, then (x − a) is a factor of the function.

We have two unique zeros:

−2 and 4. However, −2 has a multiplicity of 2, which means that the factor that correlates to a zero of −2 is represented in the polynomial twice.

Following how it's constructed

zero at -2, multiplicity 2

zero at 4, multiplicity 1

p(x)=x−(−2))²(x−4)¹

Thus,p(x)=(x+2)²(x−4)

Expand: p(x)=(x²+4x+4)(x−4)

p(x) =x³−12x−16

Ace Cars says they will pay Jim a 10% commission on the sale price of each car. Budget Cars
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer: The car has to sell for $20000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the price that the car would have to sell for in order for these two job opportunities to pay Jim the same amount.

Ace Cars says they will pay Jim a 10% commission on the sale price of each car. It means that his pay would be

10/100 × x = 0.1x

Budget Cars says they will pay him $500 per week plus a 7.5% commission on the sale price of each car. It means that his pay would be

500 + 0.075x

For boths pays to be the same, it means that

0.1x = 500 + 0.075x

0.1x - 0.075x = 500

0.025x = 500

x = 500/0.025

x = 20000

The car has to sell for $20000

A manatee surfaced for air 3 times in 120 seconds.how many seconds went by before the manatee surfaced the first time if it held
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

40 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio would be 3:120, indicating the amount of times it went up for air in 120 seconds. In order to find the answer, we'll find the unit rate. 120 divided by 3 is evenly 40. That means, the unit rate is 1:40. It also means that 40 seconds went by before the manatee surfaced the first time (if it held its breath for the same rate).
