Answer:
- Benito's error was using the equal sign (=) instead of the congruency symbol (≅).
Explanation:
Benito's error was using the equal sign (=) instead of the congruency symbol (≅).
The congruency symbol (≅) means that the elements (segments, angles or figures in general) have the same measure, i.e. they have equal lengths for the segments or equal measure for the angles.
For instance, it is an error saying that the segment AB is equal to the segment BC because, as you clearly see in the picture, they are not same; they have the same length but they are joining different points, that makes them different in essence, although they have the same length. They would be equal only if they are the same figure.
In mathematics, you must not say that two different segments or two different angles are equal but they are congruent, which means that their lengths are equal. The use of equal is reserved for numbers and variables, not for figures like segment, points, angles, polygons.
Answer:
Thus the last row has 119 seats.
The total number of seats in 24 rows = 1476
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of seats in each row make an arithmetic series. We will use arithmetic equation to find the number of seats in last row:
An = a1+ (n-1)d
An = 4+(24-1)5
An = 4 + (23)(5)
An = 4 + 115
An = 119
Thus the last row has 119 seats.
Now to find the sum of seats we will apply the formula:
Sn = n(a1 + an)/2
Sn = 24(4+119)/2
Sn = 24(123) /2
Sn = 1476 .....
The total number of seats in 24 rows = 1476....
Answer and Explanation:
Gina wanted to swim at the pool. She is allowed to spend at most $30. The cost to swim in the pool is 3 dollars per hour plus a flat fee of $3. How many hours can Gina swim without going over her spending limit?
This problem can be represented by 
.
'x' would be the number of hours. "At most" means less than or equal to. So, the value of x would have to be less than or equal to 30.
So, Gina would have a maximum of 9 hours to swim in the pool.
Hope this helps.
To find the midpoint you find the average x and the average y values. The average of 1 and 9 is 5, and the average of 4 and 16 is 10. The midpoint would be (5,10).
Answer:
3, in both a), b)
Step-by-step explanation:
a) The slope of the line tangent to the curve that passes through the point (2,-10) is equal to the derivative of p at x=2.
Using differentiation rules (power rule and sum rule), the derivative of p(x) for any x is 
. In particular, the value we are looking for is 
.
If you would like to compute the equation of the tangent line, we can use the point-slope equation to get 
b) The instantaneus rate of change is also equal to the derivative of P at the point x=2, that is, P'(2). This is equal to 
.
