Mama L [17]2 years ago

5 0

Answer:

Luis’s, because he flipped the inequality sign when he subtracted

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

7.2b + 6.5 > 4.8b – 8.1.

Amelia started by subtracting 7.2b from both sides to get 6.5 > –2.4b – 8.1.

Amelia:

7.2b + 6.5 - 7.2b > 4.8b – 8.1 - 7.2b

6.5 > -2.4b - 8.1

Correct

Luis started by subtracting 4.8b from both sides to get 2.4b + 6.5 < – 8.1.

7.2b + 6.5 - 4.8b > 4.8b – 8.1 - 4.8b

2.4b + 6.5 > -8.1

Incorrect

Shauna started by subtracting 6.5 from both sides to get 7.2b > 4.8b – 14.6

7.2b + 6.5 - 6.5 > 4.8b – 8.1 - 6.5

7.2b > 4.8b - 14.6

Correct

Clarence started by adding 8.1 to both sides to get 7.2b + 14.6 > 4.8b.

7.2b + 6.5 + 8.1 > 4.8b – 8.1 + 8.1

7.2b + 14.6 > 4.8b

Correct

What is the slope of a line parallel to the line whose equation is

Lyrx [107]

Answer:

slope = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Given

9x - 3y = - 54 ( subtract 9x from both sides )

- 3y = - 9x - 54 ( divide all terms by 0 3 )

y = 3x + 18 ← in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 3

Parallel lines have equal slopes, thus

slope of parallel line is 3

In triangle NLM, point S is the centroid, QS = (3x – 5) cm, and NS = (4x) cm. What is NS? 5 cm 10 cm 20 cm 30 cm

son4ous [18]

Answer:

20 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ S is the centroid of ΔNLM

∴ S divides NG at ratio 1 : 2 from the base

∴SQ = 1/2 NS

∴3x - 5 = 1/2 (4x)

∴3x - 5 = 2x

∴3x - 2x = 5

∴x = 5

∴ NS = 4 × 5 = 20 cm

Determine whether the sets have a subset relationship. R = {right triangles} O = {obtuse triangles} a) R and O are disjoint. b)

DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A right angled triangle has one angle equal to 90°

an obtuse angle triangle has one angle greater tan 90°

a) An o and right-angled triangle btuse angled triangle can have one angle equal.

b) R and O are not equivalent by definition

c) subset of R and Oare not all triangles as R and O are categories of all triangles. R and O are subset of all triangles

d) Acute triangles have all acute angles. So subset of R and O can't be all acute traingles

e) All triangles with two acute angles are may or may not have third angle as obtuse angle or 90° angle

f) none of the above

The radius of a spherical balloon is measured as 20 inches, with a possible error of 0.03 inch. Use differentials to approximate

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

a) $V = 33510.322\,in^{3}$ , b) $A_{s} = 5026.548\,in^{2}$ , c) $\% V = 0.450\,\%$ , $\%A_{s} = 0.300\,\%$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume and the surface area of the sphere are, respectively:

$V = \frac{4}{3}\pi \cdot r^{3}$

$A_{s} = 4\pi \cdot r^{2}$

a) The volume of the sphere is:

$V = \frac{4}{3}\pi \cdot (20\,in)^{3}$

$V = 33510.322\,in^{3}$

b) The surface area of the sphere is:

$A_{s} = 4\pi \cdot (20\,in)^{2}$

$A_{s} = 5026.548\,in^{2}$

c) The total differentials for volume and surface area of the sphere are, respectively:

$\Delta V = 4\pi\cdot r^{2}\,\Delta r$

$\Delta V = 4\pi \cdot (20\,in)^{2}\cdot (0.03\,in)$

$\Delta V = 150.796\,in^{3}$

$\Delta A_{s} = 8\pi\cdot r \,\Delta r$

$\Delta A_{s} = 8\pi \cdot (20\,in)\cdot (0.03\,in)$

$\Delta A_{s} = 15.080\,in^{2}$

Relative errors are presented hereafter:

$\%V = \frac{\Delta V}{V}\times 100\%$

$\%V = \frac{150.796 \,in^{3}}{33510.322\,in^{3}}\times 100\,\%$

$\% V = 0.450\,\%$

$\% A_{s} = \frac{\Delta A_{s}}{A_{s}}\times 100\,\%$

$\% A_{s} = \frac{15.080\,in^{2}}{5026.548\,in^{2}}\times 100\,\%$

$\%A_{s} = 0.300\,\%$
