The error made by the Gabriel in calculating the change amount, is that he subtract the $2 instead of adding $2.

<h3>What is algebraic expression?</h3>

Algebraic expression are the expression which consist the variables, coefficients of variables and constants.

The algebraic expression are used represent the general problem in the mathematical way to solve them.

The expression used by the Gabriel to represent his total cost  is,

2.5x+2y - 2

As, Gabriel has to receive the change amount of $30. Thus, he has to subtract this amount from the total cost. This statement can be present as,

\rm Change=30-(2.5x+2y - 2)\\\rm Change=30-2.5x-2y + 2\\\rm Change=32-2.5x-2y

Now, the expression used by him to represent the amount of change he should receive from $30 is,

28 -2.5x - 2y

Hence, the error made by the Gabriel in calculating the change amount, is that he subtract the $2 instead of adding $2.

Answer:

The maximum distance traveled is 4.73 meters in 0.23 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the distance traveled with respect to time is given by the function,

d(t) = 4.9t^2-2.3t+5.

Now, differentiating this function with respect to time 't', we get,

d'(t)=9.8t-2.3

Equating d'(t) by 0 gives,

9.8t - 2.3 = 0

i.e. 9.8t = 2.3

i.e. t = 0.23 seconds

Substitute this value in d'(t) gives,

d'(t) = 9.8 × 0.23 - 2.3

d'(t) = 2.254 - 2.3

d'(t) = -0.046.

As, d'(t) < 0, we get that the function has the maximum value at t = 0.23 seconds.

Thus, the maximum distance the skateboard can travel is given by,

d(t) = 4.9\times 0.23^2-2.3\times 0.23+5.

i.e. d(t) = 4.9\times 0.0529-2.3\times 0.23+5.

i.e. d(t) = 0.25921-0.529+5.

i.e. d(t) = 0.25921-0.529+5.

i.e. d(t) = 4.73021

Hence, the maximum distance traveled is 4.73 meters in 0.23 seconds.

What is the value of -6+3-3(-18) ?<br> (Need ASAP with steps!)
oee [108]
-6+3-3(-18)

Okay.

Work from left to right.
-6 plus 3 equals -3.
(Think of it as in a number line, from the spot of -6, move right three units. This will give you -3. Anyways..)

Now you have -3-3
The result is -6.

-6(-18)
Negative six times negative eighteen equals positive 108.

The answer is 108.

GrogVix [38]

Answer:

1/10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Total number of possible outcomes /sample space S= 10

In this problem we are required to solve for the probability of obtaining the favourable outcome which is obtaining a blue

Hence the probability of obtaining a blue is

Pr(blue) = 1/10
