Fernando evaluated the expression below. StartFraction 5 (9 minus 5) over 2 EndFraction + (negative 2) (negative 5) + (negative

3) squared = StartFraction 5 (4) over 2 EndFraction minus 10 + 9 = StartFraction 20 over 2 EndFraction minus 10 + 9 = 10 minus 10 + 9 = 9. What was Fernando's error?

Answer:

Fernando incorrectly found the product of –2 and –5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fernando evaluated the numerator of the fraction incorrectly.

Fernando simplified StartFraction 20 over 2 EndFraction incorrectly.

Fernando incorrectly found the product of –2 and –5.

Fernando evaluated (negative 3) squared incorrectly.

Fernando's calculation

5(9-5) / 2 + (-2)(-5) + (-3)^2

= 5(4) / 2 - 10 + 9

= 20/2 - 10 + 9

= 10 - 10 + 9

= 9

Correct calculation

5(9-5) / 2 + (-2)(-5) + (-3)^2

= 5(4) / 2 + (10) + 9

= 20/2 + 10 + 9

= 10 + 10 + 9

= 29

Therefore,

Fernando's error was multiplying (-2)(-5) to be equal to -10 instead of 10

Fernando incorrectly found the product of –2 and –5.

George took a nonstop flight from Dallas to
In-s [12.5K]

It is given in the question that,

George took a nonstop flight from Dallas to Los Angeles, a total flight distance of 1,233 miles. The plane flew at a speed of 460 miles per hour for the first 75 minutes of the flight and at a speed of 439 miles per hour for the remainder of the flight.

Let for x hours, the flight travelled with a speed of 439 miles per hour .

So we have,

460* \frac{75}{60} + 439*x = 1233

575 + 439x =1233
\\
439x = 1233 - 575
\\
439x = 658
\\
x = \frac{658}{439} hours

And to convert it in minutes, we have to multiply by 60. And on doing so, we will get

x = \frac{658}{439}*60 =approx \ 90  \ minutes

Rectangle TUVW is on a coordinate plane at T (a, b), U (a + 2, b + 2), V (a + 5, b − 1), and W (a + 3, b − 3). What is the slope
masya89 [10]

Answer:

The correct option is;

A 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The given rectangle TUVW has coordinates T(a, b), U (a + 2, b + 2), V ( a + 5, b - 1) and W (a + 3, b - 3).

Given that the coordinates of T and U are T (a, b), and U (a + 2, b + 2), we have;

The slope, m of the line TU is is found by the following relation;

Slope, \, m =\dfrac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}

Where we put (x₁, y₁) = (a, b) and (x₂, y₂) = (a + 2, b + 2), we have;

m = ((b + 2) - b)/((a + 2) - a) = 2/2 = 1

Whereby the slope of a line parallel to another line are equal, we have that the slope of the line parallel to the line that contains the side TU is also 1.
