yesterday jamal scored -20 points on a puzzle today he scored more points use absolute value to describe today's score as a loss

Answers

Answer 1
Absolute value is never negative so the answer is 20
Answer 2
Final answer:

The absolute value of Jamal's score is 20, indicating a loss of 20 points.

Explanation:

In math, the absolute value of a number is the positive value of that number, regardless of its sign. Since Jamal's score on the puzzle was -20 points, we can use absolute value to describe today's score as a loss by taking the absolute value of the score. The absolute value of -20 is 20, which means that today's score was a loss of 20 points.

Write a translation rule that maps point D(7,-3) onto point D'(2,5).

Answers

We are given D (7, -3) and D'(2, 5).

SAppy the transformation
D'(x,y) → D(x-5, y+8).
Then 
x=7 → x=7-5 = 2
y=-3 → y=-3+8 = 5

Answer: D (x-5, y+8) → D'
ANSWER

The translation rule is

[tex]D(x,y)\rightarrow D'(x-5,y+8).[/tex]

EXPLANATION

Let [tex] \binom{x}{y} [/tex]
be the translation vector that maps [tex]D(7,-3)[/tex]
on to [tex]D'(2,5)[/tex].

Then we have the vector equation,

[tex] \binom{7}{ - 3} + \binom{x}{y} = \binom{2}{5} [/tex]

We now solve for
[tex] \binom{x}{y} [/tex]

[tex] \binom{x}{y} = \binom{2}{5} - \binom{7}{ - 3}[/tex]

This simplifies to,

[tex] \binom{x}{y} = \binom{2 - 7}{5 - - 3} [/tex]

[tex] \binom{x}{y} = \binom{2 - 7}{5 + 3} [/tex]

[tex] \binom{x}{y} = \binom{ - 5}{8} [/tex]

Therefore the translation rule is,

[tex]D(x,y)\rightarrow D'(x-5,y+8)[/tex]

An angelfish was 1 1/2 inches long when it was bought. Now it is 2 1/3 inches long.
a. How much has the angelfish grown?
b. An inch is 1/12 of a foot. How much has the angelfish grown in feet?
40 points!

Answers

The angelfish has grown by 5/6 inches, which is equivalent to 5/72 feet when converted.

The question asks how much an angelfish has grown both in inches and in feet.

Part A: Growth in Inches

The angelfish was originally 1 1/2 inches long and grew to 2 1/3 inches. To calculate the growth, subtract the original length from the current length:

2 1/3 inches (current length) - 1 1/2 inches (original length) = 7/3 inches - 3/2 inches

To subtract, convert to a common denominator (6 in this case): 7/3 becomes 14/6 and 3/2 becomes 9/6,

14/6 - 9/6 = 5/6 inches

So the angelfish has grown by 5/6 inches.

Part B: Growth in Feet

Since 1 inch is 1/12 of a foot, to calculate the growth in feet, multiply the growth in inches by the conversion factor:

5/6 inches * (1 foot/12 inches) = (5/6) * (1/12)

Multiplying these fractions, we get 5/72 feet, which is the growth in feet.

A function is created to represent the miles per gallon your car gets. What restrictions would be made to the domain ?

A. The domain were only include integers.

B. The domain will only include positive integers.

C. The domain would include all real numbers.

D. The domain would only include positive numbers.

Answers

D. The domain would only include positive numbers

Answer:

Option: D is the correct answer.

     D. The domain would only include positive numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Domain of a function--

It is the set of all the x-values or the values of the independent values for which the function is defined.

Here the function is used to represent the miles per gallon your car gets.

i.e. the independent variable is the number of gallons the car gets.

and the dependent variables is the number of miles covered by the car.

As the number of gallons of the car can't be negative or zero , it could be any positive number.

Hence, the domain would include any positive number.

If P(A) = 0.5, P(B) = 0.3, and P(A or B) = 0.6, find P(A and B)

Answers

P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A and B), which means that the probability that A or B occurs is equal to the probability that A occurs plus the probability that B occurs minus the probability that both A and B occur.

So, you know P(A), P(B) and P(A or B) and you can solve for P A and B) =>

P(A and B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A or B)

P(A and B) = 0.5 + 0.3 - 0.6 = 0.8 - 0.6 = 0.2

Answer: P(A and B) = 0.2



Express each ratio as a fraction in simplest form:

0.3 km to 500 m

Answers

Answer: 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio shows how many times a number is contained in another. To express the ratio as a fraction in its lowest term, we convert 0.3km to metre.

1000 metre makes 1 kilometers. Therefore,

0.3km = 0.3 × 1000 = 300 metre

0.3 km to 500m= 300m to 500m

300m : 500m = 300/500

Reducing to its lowest term, 100 is a common factor.

300/500 = (100×3) / (100×5)

= 3/5.

David is buying a new car for $21,349 he plans to make a down payment of 3000 if he's to make a monthly payments of $352 for the next five years what APR has he paid

Answers

The closest I can come to is 5.6850% APR which give you a payment of $352.06
In order to solve this problem, we use the formula for the present value of an annuity: 
PV = (p/r) * (1-(1/(1+r)^n)
Where PV=present value, p=periodic payment amount, r=rate of interest, and n =number of payments
We want to find the monthly interest rate, so we set n=60 (12 months x 5 years), and PV = 18,349, which is the amount owed after the down payment
18349 = 352/r * (1-(1/1+r)^60)   Multiply both sides by r/352
52.128r=1-(1/(1+r))^60

Solving from here is a doozy, so let's try substitution to find which equality gives us the correct value
Remember that 12r is actually our APR, since r in our function is just the monthly rate of interest, not the annual rate.
Let's try 5%. 0.05 ÷ 12 = .00416
52.128(.00416) ?=? 1-(1/(1+r))^60
.2172 ?=? 1- (1/1.00416)^60
.2172 ?=? .22048
.2172 does not equal .22048, although we're close! Although they are very similar numbers, they are about 1.5% apart, which is a pretty big difference for this problem. Let's try 5.9%, the next closest option, to see if we can get closer. 

Let's try an APR of 5.9%, .059 ÷ 12 = .004916
52.128(.004916) ?=?  1- (1/1.004916)^60
.2562 ?=? 1-0.745
.2562 = .2549
Our values are equal within about one thousandth of eachother, for a difference of roughly 0.5%. Based on the other options, this is as close as we're going to get! Keep in mind that there is a lot of rounding that happens in these problems, so the values won't be exactly the same. 
Answer is C) 5.9%

The length of a rectangle is 6 1/2 inches and the width is 3 3/4 inches. What is the ratio, using whole numbers, of the length to the width?

The length is 13/2, while the width is 15/4, after combination. Ratio of length to width is then (13/2)/(15/4) = 26/15.

The ratio, using whole numbers of the length to the width is [tex]\frac{26}{15}[/tex]

Given the following data:

Length of a rectangle = [tex]6\frac{1}{2}[/tex] inches.Width of a rectangle = [tex]3\frac{3}{4}[/tex] inches.

To calculate the ratio, using whole numbers of the length to the width:

What is ratio?

Ratio can be defined as a mathematical expression that is used to denote the proportion of two (2) or more quantities with respect to one another.

How to calculate the ratio.

First of all, we would convert the mixed fraction to a proper fraction as follows:

For the length:

[tex]6\frac{1}{2}=\frac{13}{2}[/tex]

For the width:

[tex]3\frac{3}{4}=\frac{15}{4}[/tex]

Now, we can calculate the ratio, using whole numbers of the length to the width:

[tex]Ratio = \frac{length}{width} \\\\Ratio = \frac{\frac{13}{2} }{\frac{15}{4} } \\\\Ratio = \frac{13}{2} \times \frac{4}{15} \\\\Ratio =\frac{26}{15}[/tex]

Josh saves $14.72 per week from his $32.00 earnings after spending on snacks and school supplies.

The student is asking about how much Josh saves per week after spending on snacks and school supplies from his earnings. Josh spends 40 cents of every dollar on snacks and 14 cents of every dollar on school supplies, which totals 54 cents on expenditures out of every dollar he earns. To calculate his savings, we subtract this total expense from the dollar:

1 dollar - 0.54 dollars (expenses) = 0.46 dollars saved.

To find out how much Josh saves from his weekly earnings of $32.00, we multiply his savings rate per dollar by his total earnings:

$32.00 x 0.46 = $14.72 per week saved.

Jumlah panjang dan lebar suatu persegi panjang adalah 32cm. Sedangkan luasnya adalah 240cm. Tentukan (a) panjang dan lebarnya (b) kelilingnya dan (c) panjang diagonal persegi panjang

Answers

A. p+l = 32 cm  maka p = 32 - l
   L  = 240 cm
   L  = p x l
   240  =  32-l x l
   240  = 32l - l²
   l²-32l+240 = 0
   (l-12)(l-20) = 0
   maka l = 12 atau l = 20
   ambil saja lebarnya = 12 cm
   maka  p  = 32-l = 32 - 12 = 20 cm
b. Keliling  = 2(p+l) = 2 x 32 = 64 cm
