Answer:

(D)Jaleel's method is correct because 2(x-2)=2x-4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jaleel and Lisa are simplifying the expression 2(x-2)+2 as shown.

J$aleel's Method: \left\{\begin{array}{ccc}2 (x -2) + 2 \\= 2 x - 4 + 2 \\= 2 x - 2\end{array}\right

L$isa's Method: \left\{\begin{array}{ccc}2 (x-2) + 2 \\= 2 x -2 + 2 \\= 2 x\end{array}\right

We can see that Jaleel's method is correct because:

2(x-2)=2x-4.

When you expand, you must multiply the term outside by all the terms inside the bracket.

The correct option is D.

I am taking my first programming course, so my apologies if this is a dumb question/possibly classified by the wrong category on this site. One of the exercise problems I am working on is the following:

Define a function print_total_inches, with parameters num_feet and num_inches, that prints the total number of inches. Note: There are 12 inches in a foot. Ex:

print_total_inches(5, 8) prints:

Total inches: 68

geniusboy [140]

Answer: C. He used too few trials for the sample space.


Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Josh used a standard deck of 52 cards to conduct an experiment.

As half of the cards in the deck were red.

If we take sample space= 52 cards

Then probability of getting a red card=\frac{1}{2}

But Josh took 8 cards as sample space which is not enough for the sample space.

therefore, C. is the right answer. "He used too few trials for the sample space."

A dolphin is 42 feet underwater and ascends at a constant rate for 14 seconds until it reaches the surface. Identify and interpr
Cloud [144]
Ok so, based on the graph lets say that x = seconds and  y = depth of dolphin. the interception in both points is when they are at 0 i.e when x is equals 0 and y equals 0. So At 0 seconds, the dolphin is 42 feet below the surface. So we say that x = 0, y = -42 and then the y intercepts = -42 so the point of interception is(0 (seconds),-42(depth of the dolphin)) When the clock says it's 14 seconds, the dolphin is even with the surface (0 below the surface this time). So we say that x = 14, y = 0. In this case The x intercept = 14 (14,0). But we need to calculate The slope with the formula= (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1) = 42/14 = 3. Therefore, the formula for this line is y = 3x - 42.

The vertices of rhombus defg are d(1, 4), e(4, 0), f(1, –4), and g(–2, 0). what is the perimeter of the rhombus?
Harman [31]

Answer: 20 unit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, Here the vertices of the rhombus defg are d(1, 4), e(4, 0), f(1, –4), and g(–2, 0).

Where, de, ef, fg, gd are sides of the rhombus defg.

By the distance formula,

de = \sqrt{(4-1)^2+(0-4)^2}

=\sqrt{3^2+4^2}

=\sqrt{9+16}

=\sqrt{25}

= 5

Thus, the side of rhombus = 5

By the property of rhombus,

de =  ef = fg = gd = 5 unit.

Thus, the perimeter of the given rhombus defg = de +  ef + fg + gd = 5+5+5+5 = 20 unit

A homemade lip balm consists of coconut oil and beeswax. Coconut oil costs $0.50 per ounce and beeswax costs $2.00 per ounce. If
Alika [10]

Let

a--------> the total cost in dollars of 6 ounces of coconut oil

b--------> the total cost in dollars of 5 ounces of beeswax

we know that

a=0.50 \frac{\$}{ounce}*6=\$3

b=2.00 \frac{\$}{ounce}*5=\$10

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

the total cost in dollars of 6 ounces of coconut oil is a=\$3

the total cost in dollars of 5 ounces ofbeeswax is b=\$10
