pair for the expense report. What is the correct unit​ price? What is the​ error? Why is the​ contractor's unit price​ incorrect?

Answer:

The correct unit price is $1.17 per pair of gloves. The error is she used number of dozens so, firstly convert it to number of pairs of gloves then divide.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given 4 dozen pairs of gloves for $56.16.

So, unit price = Divide the price by number of pairs of gloves.

And 1 dozen =12

So 4 dozen =4*12=48 pairs of gloves

So, to find unit rate divide 56.16  by 48.

Unit price =\frac{56.16}{48}= $1.17

So, the error is she didn't convert the dozen to units.

That made mistake in finding unit price.

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

900 large boxes were sold, and 750 small boxes.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved by a system of equations.

I am going to say that:

x is the number of large boxes of cookies sold.

y is the number of small boxes of cookies sold.

A total of 1,650 boxes of Girl Scout cookies were sold last week.

This means that

x + y = 1650

So

x = 1650 - y

Each large box cost $3.50 and each small box cost $2.00. The Girl Scout group earned $4,650.

This means that

3.5x + 2y = 4650

Since x = 1650 - y

3.5(1650 - y) + 2y = 4650

5775 - 3.5y + 2y = 4650

1.5y = 1125

y = \frac{1125}{1.5}

y = 750

x = 1650 - y = 1650 - 750 = 900

900 large boxes were sold, and 750 small boxes.

Need help in number 12 and 13 PLEASEE!! I don’t get it and I start school the day after tomorrow
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

The explanations for the graphs are provided down below. Please let me know if you have any questions about my answer.

12 and 13 as written on the worksheet is right.

Step-by-step explanation:

12) The answer given is correct.

The relation between x and y is given as:

y=\frac{x^2}{2}-3 with x \in \{-4,-2,0,2}.

I replaced the word domain with x since the domain is the set of x's for which the relation exists.

We are going to replace x with each of the x's given to see what y corresponds to each.

Let's begin with x=-4.

y=\frac{x^2}{2}-3 with x=-4:

y=\frac{(-4)^2}{2}-3

y=\frac{16}{2}-3

y=8-3

y=5.

So (-4,5) is an ordered pair that should be on our graph.

To find this point you move left 4 from origin then up 5. Now you put a dot where you have landed. Your graph does show this point.

Moving on.

Let's do the next x: x=-2.

y=\frac{x^2}{2}-3 with x=-2:

y=\frac{(-2)^2}{2}-3

y=\frac{4}{2}-3

y=2-3

y=-1.

So (-2,-1) is an ordered pair that should be on our graph.

To find this point you move left 2 from origin and then down 1.  Now you put a dot where you have landed. Your graph shows this point as well.

Now x=0.

y=\frac{x^2}{2}-3 with x=0:

y=\frac{0^2}{2}-3

y=\frac{0}{2}-3

y=0-3

y=-3

So (0,-3) is an ordered pair that should be on our graph.

To find this point you move left and right none and down 3.  Now you put a dot where you have landed. Your graph shows this point.

Now the last point will be at x=2.

y=\frac{x^2}{2}-3 with x=2

y=\frac{2^2}{2}-3

y=\frac{4}{2}-3

y=2-3

y=-1.

So (2,-1) is an ordered pair that should be on our graph.

To find this point you move 2 units right from the origin and then down 1 unit. Now put a dot where you landed.  The graph shows this point as well.

13) The answer given is correct.

g(x)=|x| is the parent function and makes like a V shaped graph where it's vertex is at (0,0).

If we want to move this graph right 3 it becomes:

m(x)=|x-3| \text{ or } m(x)=|(-1)(-x+3)|=|-1||-x+3|=1|-x+3|=|-x+3|=|3-x|.

If you move that up once it becomes:

n(x)=|x-3|+1 or n(x)=|3-x|+1 which is the curve given.

If you don't know about transformations you can choose a few points to plug in to see what's going on with the graph.

Let's choose x=-5,-3,-1,0,1,3,5.

x=-5

f(-5)=|3--5|+1=|3+5|+1=|8|+1=8+1=9.

There is no room for (-5,9) on our graph but if you extended the left hand side of the absolute value function there you would see that (-5,9) is reached.

x=-3

f(-3)=|3--3|+1=|3+3|+1=|6|+1=6+1=7.

(-3,7) should be a point on the graph. Same thing for this point as (-5,9).

x=-1

f(-1)=|3--1|+1=|3+1|+1=|4|+1=4+1=5.

(-1,5) is located on the graph.

x=0

f(0)=|3-0|+1=|3|+1=3+1=4.

(0,4) is also located on the graph.

x=1

f(1)=|3-1|+1=|2|+1=2+1=3.

(1,3) is located on the graph.

x=3

f(3)=|3-3|+1=|0|+1=0+1=1.

(3,1) is located on the graph.

x=5

f(5)=|3-5|+1=|-2|+1=2+1=3.

(5,3) is located on the graph.

Now if we weren't given the graph already:

I would plot the points I found which were:

(-5,9)

(-3,7)

(-1,5)

(0,4)

(1,3)

(3,1)

(5,3)

We should get a basic idea of what the function looks like from these points.

I will graph them. You will have to connect these points because the domain isn't discrete like number 12 is.  That is they didn't list out elements for the domain.

I'm going to graph one more point after x=5.

How about x=7?

f(7)=|3-7|+1=|-4|+1=4+1=5

So (7,5) is also a point on the graph.

You should see that the blue points are following the red path I made there.

(-6,8); perpendicular to y = -3/2x -1
UNO [17]

Answer:

y =  \frac{2}{3} x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

y =  -  \frac{3}{2} x - 1

The gradient of a line is the coefficient of x when the equation of the line is written in the form of y=mx+c.

Thus, gradient of given line=-  \frac{3}{2}.

The product of the gradients of perpendicular lines is -1.

(Gradient of line)(-3/2)= -1

Gradient of line

- 1 \div ( -  \frac{3}{2} ) \\  =  - 1( -  \frac{2}{3} )  \\  =  \frac{2}{3}

Substitute m=\frac{2}{3} into y=mx+c:

y =  \frac{2}{3} x + c

To find the value of c, substitute a pair of coordinates.

When x= -6, y= 8,

8 =  \frac{2}{3} ( - 6) + c \\  \\ 8 =  - 4 + c \\ c = 8 + 4 \\ c = 12

Thus, the equation of the line is y =  \frac{2}{3} x + 12.
