Gabby solved x2 - 3x = 4 as shown below:
x2 - 3x - 4 = 0
(x - 4)(x + 1) = 0
x = -4 and x = 1

Caitlyn says Gabby is wrong and believes this is the solution:
x2 - 3x - 4 = 0
(x - 4)(x + 1) = 0
x = 4 and x = -1

Is Gabby or Caitlyn correct?  What mistake was made by the incorrect girl?  Type your response in the box provided. 

Answers

Answer 1
Caitlyn is correct.
Both factored correctly but the reason Gabby is wrong is because of the Zero Product Property, which says if (x-4)(x+1)=0, then (x-4)=0 or (x+1)=0.

If (x-4)=0, then the value of x must be 4.
If (x+1)=0, then the value of x must be -1.

Two friends left school at the same time and drove in opposite directions. One friend averages 40 miles per hour and the other friend averages 35 miles per hour. when will they be 150 miles apart?

Answers

Therefore, the two friends will be 150 miles apart in 2 hours.

Answer:

The two friends will be 150 miles apart in 2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The two friends left the school at the same time and drove in opposite directions. One of them have a speed of 40 miles per hour while the other have a speed of 35 miles per hour .

The both of them are moving apart at the rate  = 40 + 35 = 75 miles per hour

let

t = time at which they are 150 miles apart

speed = distance/time

time  = distance/speed

time = 150/75

time = 2 hours

The two friends will be 150 miles apart in 2 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

You are dealt two cards successively (without replacement) from a shuffled deck of 52 playing cards. find the probability that the first card is a king and the second card is a queen.

Answers

there are 4 kings and 4 queens in a deck

 chance of getting a king is 1/52

 chance of getting a queen without the king being put back would be 1/51

1/52 x 1/51 = 1/2652 probability

The probability of drawing first a king and then a queen from a standard deck without replacement is 0.603%, which is calculated by multiplying the individual probabilities of drawing a king and then a queen (1/13 * 4/51).

The student is asking about how to calculate the probability of drawing two specific cards from a deck of cards in succession without replacement. In a standard deck of 52 cards, the probability of drawing a king first is 4/52 since there are four kings in the deck. After drawing a king, there are 51 cards left, and the probability of drawing a queen next is 4/51 because there are four queens in the deck. These events are dependent because the outcome of the second draw depends on the first.

To find the combined probability of both events happening, we multiply the probabilities of each event:

P(first card is a king) = 4/52

P(second card is a queen after drawing a king) = 4/51

So, the probability is (4/52) * (4/51), which simplifies to 1/13 * 4/51.

Combined probability = (1/13) * (4/51) = 4/663 = 0.006033182503770739, or about 0.603% when expressed as a percentage.

The extended version of the link given shows a triangle with sides of measurements equal to 13, 16, and 15 units. 

Since we are given with the measurements of all sides, we use the Heron's formula.

                         A = sqrt ((s)(s - a)(s - b)(s - c))

where s is the semiperimeter and a, b, and c are the measures of the sides.
    
                        s = (a + b + c) /2
                        s = (13 + 15 + 16) / 2 = 22

Substituting this to the equation for the area,
                      A = sqrt ((22)(22 - 13)(22 - 15)(22 - 16))
                            A = 91.19 square units

Thus, the area is approximately equal to 91.2 square units. The answer is letter B.

We apply the concept of calculus here. You can determine the minimum or maximum in here if you take the derivative of a function and equate it to zero. The solution is as follows:

n = 20t² - 20t +120
dn/dt = 0 = 40t - 20 + 0
40t - 20 = 0
40t = 20
t = 20/40
t = 1/2 or 0.5

In order to determine the value of the rent after x years, we need to generate a function which would relate the value of the rent and the time in years. The rate by which the rent increases is said to be 3.5% per year. So, if we do it manually, we would have:

value of the rent = 225000 + 225000 (.035) + 225000 (.035)(.035) + ........

However, this is a tedious and long process since we need to continue until year 8. We need to simplify it to an expression. We do as follows:

value of the rent = 225000 + 225000 (.035) + 225000 (.035)(.035) + ........

We factor out the initial rent, 

value of the rent = 225000 (1 + (.035) + (.035)(.035) + ........)

Then, we simplify the terms inside the first parentheses,


value of the rent = 225000 (1 + (.035))^x

where x is the number of years. We then substitute 8 to x to determine the value of the rent.

value of the rent = 225000 (1 + (.035))^8 = 296282.03

The triangle with measures 3 in., 4 in. and 5 in. made up right angle triangle.

What is a triangle?

A triangle is a three-sided polygon, which has three vertices. The three sides are connected with each other end to end at a point, which forms the angles of the triangle. The sum of all three angles of the triangle is equal to 180 degrees.

a) Given that, 3 in., 4 in. and 5 in.

By using Pythagoras theorem, we get

5²=3²+4²

25=9+16

25=25

So, the triangle is right triangle.

b) The given sides of triangle measures 5 in., 6 in. and 7 in.

To determine whether the triangle is acute, right, or obtuse, add the squares of the two smaller sides, and compare the sum to the square of the largest side.

7²<5²+6²

49<25+36

49<61

So, the triangle is acute angle triangle.

c) The given sides of triangle measures 8 in., 9 in. and 12 in.

12²>8²+9²

144>64+81

144>125

So, the triangle is obtuse angle triangle.

Therefore, the triangle with measures 3 in., 4 in. and 5 in. made up right angle triangle.

Algebraic expression for 5 times a number

Answers

it could be 5x, 5 being the digit, x being "a number"

Final answer:

The algebraic expression for 5 times a number is 5x.

Explanation:

The algebraic expression for 5 times a number is 5x.

The variable x represents the unknown number.

When you multiply 5 by any number, you can represent it as 5 times that number.

So, if the number is 10, the expression would be 5 times 10, which is equal to 50.

Which of the following is the coefficient in the algebraic expression 8x+z^2

Answers

8 would be the coefficient in this expression. It comes before the variable making it a coefficient.

Answer:

The coefficients are 8 and 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine the answer, we have to know about algebraic expressions.

An algebraic expression is conformed by terms or only one term.

A term is just a variable with a coefficient. Also similar terms have the same variable but no always the same coefficient. Therefore if the algebraic expression has two terms, so there are two coefficients. The coefficient with value "1" is not necessary write it.

In this case, we have two terms:

"x" variable."z" variable.

So, we have two coefficients:

For x, the coefficient 8.For z, the coefficient 1.

Finally, the coefficients are 8 and 1.
