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.

A deer population is estimated to be 4,350. The growth rate of the population is given by the equation y=4350(1.07) . What is th
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Analyzing the growth rate of 1.07:

If the growth rate is a number greater than 1, we have exponential growth; if the growth rate is a number greater than 0 but less than 1, we have exponential decay.

Our growth rate is actually growth.  But the rate of growth is not 107%.  The rate of growth means that we already had 100% of the population and that it is growing by 7% each year.  100% + 7% = 107%; as a decimal, 1.07

So the rate of growth is 7%

On average, Betsy read 1 page of her book every 1.5 minutes. Her book has 116 pages. Raymond starts a 94- page book on Saturday
natka813 [3]

Answer:

14 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

given,

given,

Betsy time taken to read one page = 1.5 minutes

Number of pages in the Betsy book = 116 pages

number of pages in Raymond Book = 94 pages

time taken by the Raymond  to read = 11.38 - 8.30

                                                             = 3.08 hrs

time taken by Raymond = 188 minutes

time taken by Betsy to read book = 1.5 x 116

                                                         = 174 minutes

Raymond take more time than Betsy by  = 188 - 174

                                                                   = 14 minutes

Raymond take 14 minute more than Betsy
