Zinc roofing weighs 1.6 pounds per square foot. Jose wants to order 357.85 square feet of roofing. Before ordering, he calculate

s how much weight that will put on his roof. His calculation is shown below.
357.85 times 1.6 = 214710. 214710 + 35785 = 178.925

Why is his answer incorrect?
He did not line up the decimal points in the factors.
He put the decimal point in the answer in the wrong place.
He did not use a placeholder when multiplying by one.
He did not multiply 6 by 357.85 correctly.

Answer:He is wrong because did not multiply 1.6 by 357.85 correctly.

Step-by-step explanation:

The weight per square foot of zinc roofing is 1.6 pounds. Jose wants to order 357.85 square feet of roofing. The total weight of 357.85 square feet of roofing would be

1.6 × 357.85 = 572.56 pounds

His calculation was

357.85 times 1.6 = 214710. 214710 + 35785 = 178.925

He is wrong because did not multiply 1.6 by 357.85 correctly.

Complete the equation of the line through (2,-2)(2,−2)left parenthesis, 2, comma, minus, 2, right parenthesis and (4,1)(4,1)left
Daniel [21]

Answer:

y=\frac{3}{2}x-5

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a couple of ways to solve this, depending on what you already know.

Point-Slope Form

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)  where <em>m</em> is the slope and (x_1, y_1) is a point on the line.

First, calculate the slope using the two given points (x_1, y_1), (x_2, y_2).

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{1-(-2)}{4-2}=\frac{3}{2} .

Fill in the point-slope pattern

y-(-2)=\frac{3}{2}(x-2) \\ y+2=\frac{3}{2}x-3 \\ y=\frac{3}{2}x-5

There's the equation in slope-intercept form (y=mx+b).

Slope-Intercept Form

Use y=mx+b directly.

Find the slope just like the above, so m=\frac{3}{2}.

Now, plug one of the points (either one!) together with <em>m</em> into

y=mx+b\\-2=\frac{3}{2}(2)+b \\ -2=3+b \\ b=-5

Now you know the value of <em>b</em>, so the equation for the line is

y=\frac{3}{2}x-5

A company administers an "aptitude test for managers" to aid in selecting new management trainees. Prior experience suggests tha
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

0.94

Step-by-step explanation:

The question after this basically is:

<em>"If the applicant passes the "aptitude test for managers", what is the probability that the applicant will succeed in the management position?"</em>

<em />

So,

P(successful if hired) = 60% = 0.6 [let it be P(x)]

P(success at passing the test) = 85% = 0.85   [let it be P(y)]

P(successful and pass the test) =  P(x) + P(y) -[P(x)*P(y)]

So,

P(successful and pass the test) = 0.6 + 0.85 - (0.6*0.85) = 0.94 (94%)

Given the values of the linear functions f (x) and g(x) in the tables, where is (f – g)(x) positive?
alexandr402 [8]

Comparing the functions, from the tables, it is found that (f - g)(x) is positive in the interval (–∞, 9) .

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

  • For the subtraction function, we simply subtract both functions, thus:

(f - g)(x) = f(x) - g(x)

  • It is positive if f is greater than g, that is: f(x) > g(x).
  • It is a linear function, so one function is greater before the equality, one after.
  • They are equal at x = 9.
  • If x < 9, f(x) > g(x), and thus, (f - g)(x) is positive, which means that the desired interval is:

(–∞, 9)
