A student was working on the problem below: Mr. Braun has $85.00 to spend on pizzas and soda pop for a picnic. Pizzas cost $11.0

0 each and the drinks cost $0.90 each. Four times as many drinks as pizzas are needed. What is the maximum number of pizzas that Mr. Braun can buy? The student began by writing the let statement: Let x = # of pizzas Then the student wrote the inequality: \displaystyle 11.00(x)+0.90(4x)\ge85.0011.00(x)+0.90(4x)≥85.00 The student made a MISTAKE. Describe the student's error and explain how you know it's wrong. (Do not solve the inequality.)

Answer:

11x + 0.90(4x) ≤ $85

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of pizzas be represented by p

Let the number of sodas be represented by s

Mr. Braun has $85.00 to spend on pizzas and soda pop for a picnic. Pizzas cost $11.00 each and the drinks cost $0.90 each.

$11 × p + $0.90 × s = $85

11x + 0.90y ≤ $85.......Equation 1

Four times as many drinks as pizzas are needed.

4p = s

We substitute 4p for s in Equation 1

11x + 0.90(4p) ≤ $85

What is the maximum number of pizzas that Mr. Braun can buy?

The maximum number of pizzas Mr Braun can buy =

11x + 0.90(4p) ≤ $85

The student's error has to do with the inequality sign. The student used greater than or equal to.

The correct sign is less than or equal to because Mr Braun has only $85 to spend.

A : random number tables : well it has random numbers so X out

B: PHONE NUMBERS: well phone numbers are random so X out

C: USing the internet : totally X out

D: books of random numbers: X out

so none of the above i guess

The population standard deviation of the numbers 3, 8, 12, 17, and 25 is 7.563 correct to 3 decimal places. what happens if each
user100 [1]
Let's figure this out as though we have no idea what the answer would be.

Step One
Find the new five numbers.
3*3, 8*3, 12*3, 17*3, 25*3
9 , 24 , 36, 51, 75

Step 2
Find the average
(9 + 24 + 36 + 51 + 75)/5 = 195/5 = 39

Step 3
Subtract the individual numbers from the average
(39 - 9) = 30
(39 -24) = 15
(39 - 36) = 3
(39 - 51) = - 12
(39 - 75) = -36

Step 4 
Square the results from Step 3
30^2 = 900
15^2 = 225
3^2 = 9
(-12)^2 = 144
(-36)^2 = 1296

Step 5
Take the average of the results from step 4
(900 + 225 + 9 + 144 + 1296)/5
2574 / 5 = 514.8

Step 6
Take the square root of the result from step 5
deviation = sqrt(514.8)
deviation = 22.689

Step seven 
Compare the two standard deviations.
s2/s1 = 22.689 / 7.563 = 3

Conclusion
If you are given 1 set of numbers to find a population standard deviation and you multiply each member by a, then the result will be a * the standard population deviation of the first set of numbers.

Note
Your calculator will do this as well, but you have to know how to enter the data into your calculator. That requires that you follow the directions carefully.

Which of the following is the discriminant of the polynomial below x^2+4x+5
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

\huge\boxed{\sf Discriminant = -4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Comparing it with quadratic equation ax^2 + bx + c = 0, we get:

a = 1 . b = 4 and c = 5

So,

Discriminant = b^2-4ac

D = (4)²-4(1)(5)

D = 16 - 20

D = -4

Hence,

Discriminant = -4

\rule[225]{225}{2}

Hope this helped!
