Answer:

functional fixedness.

Explanation:

In Psychology, functional fixedness can be defined as an inability of a person to realize that a physical object or device generally known to be used for a particular purpose, is capable of being used to perform other functions.

This ultimately implies that, it is a cognitive bias that involves the inability to see a physical object as being capable of being used to perform other functions i.e seeing a physical object as functioning only in one type of way.

Hence, perceiving scissors as only useful in its cutting capacity would be considered a functional fixedness. A scissors can be used to bore a hole in a material.

Answer:

$3B - 4C = \left[\begin{array}{cc}-8 &-23\\1&-15\end{array}\right]$

Explanation:

Given

$B = \left[\begin{array}{cc}8&-5\\-1&3\end{array}\right]$

$C = \left[\begin{array}{cc}8&2\\-1&6\end{array}\right]$

Required

Determine 3B - 4C

$B = \left[\begin{array}{cc}8&-5\\-1&3\end{array}\right]$

Then

$3B = 3 * \left[\begin{array}{cc}8&-5\\-1&3\end{array}\right]$

$3B = \left[\begin{array}{cc}24&-15\\-3&9\end{array}\right]$

Similarly,

$C = \left[\begin{array}{cc}8&2\\-1&6\end{array}\right]$

Then

$4C = 4 * \left[\begin{array}{cc}8&2\\-1&6\end{array}\right]$

$4C = \left[\begin{array}{cc}32&8\\-4&24\end{array}\right]$

So:

$3B - 4C = \left[\begin{array}{cc}24&-15\\-3&9\end{array}\right] - \left[\begin{array}{cc}32&8\\-4&24\end{array}\right]$

This gives:

$3B - 4C = \left[\begin{array}{cc}24 - 32 &-15-8\\-3-(-4)&9-24\end{array}\right]$

$3B - 4C = \left[\begin{array}{cc}-8 &-23\\1&-15\end{array}\right]$

Rachel refuses to share a room with a heavy roommate, and she voted against inviting a heavy person to join a group to which she

ikadub [295]

1. Rachel’s prejudice violates the requirements of critical thinking because she didn’t even try to get to know his character and how he is as a person. She has stated that “heavy people tend to be lazy and dishonest.” 2.) her prejudice violates the requirements of critical thinking due to having an opinion about him from the get go. Her views wouldn’t have changed if he was a good or a bad person because of having assumptions like “she would not hire an overweight person or trust one.”
