Dierdre’s work to solve a math problem is shown below.

Problem: How many 1 and one-half-foot pieces can be cut from a 12-foot length of ribbon?
Step 1:
1 and one-half divided by 12 = n
Step 2:
Three-halves divided by 12 = n
Step 3:
Three-halves times StartFraction 1 Over 12 EndFraction = n
Step 4:
StartFraction 3 Over 24 EndFraction = n
Answer:
One-eighth = n

What was Dierdre’s first error?
She switched the divisor and the dividend in step 1 when creating an equation to model the problem.
She used an improper fraction in step 2 that is not equivalent to 1 and one-half.
She replaced the divisor by its reciprocal in step 3 instead of replacing the dividend by its reciprocal.
She reduced the fraction in step 4 incorrectly.

Betsy participates in a scavenger hunt that requires her to retrieve items from 4 locations. The locations are on a map with the coordinates as given:

Location 1 is at (−4, −1).

Location 2 is at ​​(−4, 4).

Location 3 is at (3, 4).

Location 4 is at (3, −1).

The paths from one location to another are straight lines. One unit on the coordinate grid equals 10 yd. Betsy starts at location 1 and goes to location 2, then location 3, and then location 4, and then returns back to location 1.

What is the total distance Betsy has traveled?

Answers

Answer:

240 yd

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A, B, C, and D represent location 1, location 2, location 3, and location 4 respectively.

Consider the figure in the attached file.

We need to find the total distance traveled by Betsy.

The distance covered by Betsy is

length of segment AB length of segment BC length of segment CD length of segment DA.

To find the distance AB, we need to find the distance from A to B on y-axis.

So, length of segment AB units

To find the distance BC, we need to find the distance from B to C on x-axis.

So, length of segment BC units

To find the distance CD, we need to find the distance from C to D on y-axis.

So, length of segment CD units

To find the distance DA, we need to find the distance from D to A on x-axis.

So, length of segment DA units

Hence, the total distance covered is units

It is given that 1 unit equals 10 yd, so distance traveled by Besty is yd

Answer:  x = 20

========================================

Work Shown:

(small vertical)/(large vertical) = (small horizontal)/(large horizontal)

8/x = 16/40

8*40 = x*16 .... cross multiply

320 = 16x

16x = 320

x = 320/16  .... divide both sides by 16

x = 20

Note: there are other proportions you could set up such as 8/16 = x/40. The key here is that whatever equation you set up, it must cross multiply to 16x = 320 so that you get the same solution.

B. The store made a profit of $5.00 per store.

Step-by-step explanation:

As you can see on the graph, there is a point (200 , 40).

now i will use this equations:

200/40 = x

40 = number of shirts sold

200 = profit made from 40 shirts

x = amount of money per shirt sold.

200/40 = 5

Each shirt is sold for $5.00

If this function is differentials at x=1/2, what is a+b?

Answers

Answer: D) 28

===============================================

Work Shown:

Let

g(x) = ax^3 + 2

h(x) = bx^2 + 1

Plug x = 1/2 into each function

g(x) = ax^3 + 2

g(1/2) = a(1/2)^3 + 2

g(1/2) = (1/8)a + 2

and

h(x) = bx^2 + 1

h(1/2) = b(1/2)^2 + 1

h(1/2) = (1/4)b + 1

In order for f(x) to be differentiable at x = 1/2, the function f(x) must be continuous at x = 1/2. If we had a jump discontinuity here, then there is no way the function is differentiable here.

f(x) is continuous at x = 1/2 when g(1/2) = h(1/2).

This means,

g(1/2) = h(1/2)

(1/8)a + 2 = (1/4)b + 1

8*[(1/8)a + 2] = 8*[(1/4)b + 1]

a+16 = 2b+8

a = 2b+8-16

a = 2b-8

We'll keep this in mind for later.

--------------------------------------------------

Now let's compute the derivatives

g(x) = ax^3 + 2

g ' (x) = 3ax^2

h(x) = bx^2 + 1

h ' (x) = 2bx

Now plug in x = 1/2

g ' (x) = 3ax^2

g ' (1/2) = 3a(1/2)^2

g ' (1/2) = (3/4)a

and

h ' (x) = 2bx

h ' (1/2) = 2b(1/2)

h ' (1/2) = b

Equate the two items. We do so because we want f(x) to be differentiable at x = 1/2, so that means g ' (1/2) = h ' (1/2)

So,

g ' (1/2) = h ' (1/2)

(3/4)a = b

3a = 4b

a = (4b)/3

--------------------------------------------------

Earlier we found a = 2b-8.

Since both a = 2b-8 and a = (4b)/3, this means we can equate the right hand sides to solve for b

2b-8 = (4b)/3

3*(2b-8) = 3*(4b)/3

6b-24 = 4b

6b-4b = 24

2b = 24

b = 24/2

b = 12

Which leads to

a = 4b/3

a = 4*12/3

a = 48/3

a = 16

--------------------------------------------------

The piecewise function

[tex]f(x) = \begin{cases}ax^3+2, \ \ x < \frac{1}{2}\\bx^2+1, \ \ x \ge \frac{1}{2}\end{cases}[/tex]

will update to

[tex]f(x) = \begin{cases}16x^3+2, \ \ x < \frac{1}{2}\\12x^2+1, \ \ x \ge \frac{1}{2}\end{cases}[/tex]

To verify f(x) is differentiable at x = 1/2, you should check to see if both pieces evaluate to the same output when you plug in x = 1/2. In other words, you should check to see if g(1/2) = h(1/2).

Also, you should check to see if g ' (1/2) = h ' (1/2) so that f(x) is fully differentiable here. I'll let you do the check portions.

--------------------------------------------------

After getting our a and b values, we can finally say that

There are three fourth grades classrooms (A, B, and C) at the local elementary school. Room A contains 12 children, Room B contains 18, and Room C contains 24 children. All the fourth graders get together to play a game in the middle of the day. The teachers want the children to be on teams with their own classmates but all the teams also need to be of equal size. Can you find the largest size of the teams so that each team contains only children from the same classroom?

Answers

Answer:

The largest size of the teams would be 6 if you wanted all teams to be the same size and consist of only members from their own room.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this, you need to find the greatest common factor. The highest number that can go into 12, 18, and 24 evenly would be 6.

Answer:

2 teams of 6 for class A, 3 teams of 6 for class B. and 4 teams of 6 for class C

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the total amount of students in each class. 12,18,24. In order to separate these we have to find the common denominator among all the classes total numbers. 6 is a common denominator between them all as we can break it down to the number thats most common. Take the total number of students in each class and divide it by six. That is the total number of groups to be equal among them all.

So we can use the point slope form of the equation
