Andre tried to solve the equation 1/4 ( x + 12 ) = 2. What was his mistake? Explain.

1/4x = -10
x = -40

Answers

Answer 1
Andre’s first mistake was that he didn’t distribute properly or at all. Instead of using the distributive property to get rid of the parenthesis, he moved the x to the 1/4 and subtracted 12 to the other side. Mistakes continue to occur from there so the equation solved would be:
1/4 (x+12)=2
1/4x+3=2
1/4x=-1
x=-4
Answer 2

His mistake is that he does not open the bracket first. The value of the x is negative of 4.

What is a BODMAS rule?

BODMAS rule means for the Bracket, Order, Division, Multiplication, Addition, and Subtraction. This rule is used to solve the equation in a proper and correct manner.

Andre tried to solve the equation 1/4 ( x + 12 ) = 2.

First, open the bracket, then we have

[tex]\dfrac{x}{4} + \dfrac{12}{4} = 2[/tex]

On simplifying, we have

[tex]\dfrac{x}{4 } + 3 = 2[/tex]

Subtract 3 from both sides, we have

[tex]\dfrac{x}{4} = -1[/tex]

Multiply the equation by 4, we have

[tex]x = -4[/tex]

More about the BODMAS rule link is given below.

If a cross section of the rectangular pyramid is cut perpendicular to the base, but not passing through the top vertex, what would be the shape of the resulting cross section?

The lateral face of a pyramid is a triangle, so a cross section that passes through the top vertex and the base is also a triangle.

find the difference. 14.3 - (-4.3)

Answers

The answer is 18.6. The double negative (minus a negative) equals a positive. So you add 14.3 + 4.3 = 18.6
14.3 - (-4.3). the negative will turn into a plus sign since a minus a negative will be positive. so, 14.3 + 4.3 = 18.6!

5. In the third picture is a portion of the graph of a function, y=u(x):

What is the exact value of u(-2.72)+u(-0.81)+u(0.81)+u(2.72)?

Answers

Answer:

Q1

The graph of y = f(x), has vertex at (1, -2)

The vertex of a function f(x - 3) is going to be:

(1 - 3, -2) = (-2, -2)Q2The graph of y = f(x) has the line x = 5 as an axis of symmetry. The graph also passes through the point (8,-7). Find another point that must lie on the graph of y = f(x).

The axis of symmetry is at the same distance from the symmetric points.

x = 5 is a vertical line. The point (8, -7) is 3 units to the right. So the mirror point will be 3 units to the left and have same y-coordinate: x = 5 - 3 = 2

The point is (2, -7)

Q3

The graph in blue is the translation of the red to the left by 2 units.

So the equation is:

y = f(x + 2)Q4

y = h(x) is graphed

h(7) = 5h(h(7)) = h(5) = -1Q5

The graph of the function y = u(x) given

This is a odd function.

The coordinates of u(x) and u(-x) add to zero because u(-x) = -u(x)

Therefore:

u(-2.72) + u(-0.81) + u(0.81) + u(2.72) = [u(-2.72) + u(2.72)] + [u(-0.81) + u(0.81)] = 0 + 0 = 0

Let angle 1, angle 2, and angle 3 have the following relationships.
Angle 1 and 2 are acute vertical angles
Angle 3 is an obtuse angle adjacent to both angle 1 and angle 2.
What is the sum of the measure of angle 1 and the measure of angle 3?

Answers

180 degrees

Vertical angles are opposite angles that share only a vertex. Since ∠3 is adjacent to both ∠1 and ∠2, this means that ∠3 shares a side and vertex with both of these angles.
This means that ∠3 and ∠1 form a straight line; this makes them a linear pair, which makes their sum 180°.

A student uses the figure below to find the measure of Angle S. The student first finds the measure of angle P. Why does finding the measure of angle P help the student find the measure of angle S?

Angle P and Angle S are ADJACENT angles and ADD UP TO 180 degrees.

6) Write a system of linear inequalities that is given by the following graph.

Answers

Answer:

The system of inequalities are x - y < 1 and y < - 2 The horizontal line shown in the graph has equation y = - 2 {As it is parallel to x-axis} Now, this line is dotted and the lower portion of the graph is shaded. So, the inequality will be y < - 2 ......... (1) Again, another line is there in the graph which passes through the points (1,0) and (0,-1)So, its equation will be

⇒ y + 1 = x ⇒ x - y = 1 Now, the origin (0,0) is within shaded zone of the inequality and putting x = 0 and y = 0, we get 0 - 0 < 1 So, the equation of the inequality is x - y < 1 {As the line is dotted} Therefore, the system of inequalities are x - y < 1 and y < - 2 (Answer)
