Sven is trying to find the maximum amount of time he can spend practicing the five scales of piano music he is supposed to be wo

rking on. He has 70 minutes to practice piano and would like to spend at least 55 minutes playing songs instead of practicing scales. So, Sven sets up the following inequality, where t is the number of minutes he spends on each scale, and solves it.
70 − 5t ≤ 55
−5t ≤ −15
t ≥ 3


Sven has concluded that he should spend 3 minutes or more on each scale. Is this correct? If not, what mistake did he make? Then solve for the correct answer.

Answer:

He should spend 3 minutes or less on each scale

Sven made a mistake in the symbol of inequality, placing lesser or equal instead of greater or equal

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

t ------> is the number of minutes he spends on each scale

Remember that the phrase "at least"  is equal to "greater than or equal"

so

The inequality that represent this scenario is

70-5t \geq 55

solve for t

-5t \geq 55-70

-5t \geq -15

Multiply by -1 both sides

5t \leq 15

Divide by 5 both sides

t \leq 3

Sven is incorrect

He should spend 3 minutes or less on each scale

Sven made a mistake in the symbol of inequality, placing lesser or equal instead of greater or equal

What type of polygon would a slice of a hexahedron at a vertex create? Explain. What type of polygon would a slice of an icosahe
harina [27]

Answer:

  • hexahedron: triangle or quadrilateral or pentagon
  • icosahedron: quadrilateral or pentagon

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Hexahedron</u>

A hexahedron has 6 faces. A <em>regular</em> hexahedron is a cube. 3 square faces meet at each vertex.

If the hexahedron is not regular, depending on how those faces are arranged, a slice near a vertex may intersect 3, 4, or 5 faces. The first attachment shows 3- and 4-edges meeting at a vertex. If those two vertices were merged, then there would be 5 edges meeting at the vertex of the resulting pentagonal pyramid.

A slice near a vertex may create a triangle, quadrilateral, or pentagon.

<u>Icosahedron</u>

An icosahedron has 20 faces. The faces of a <em>regular</em> icosahedron are all equilateral triangles. 5 triangles meet at each vertex.

If the icosahedron is not regular, depending on how the faces are arranged, a slice near the vertex may intersect from 3 to 19 faces.

A slice near a vertex may create a polygon of 3 to 19 sides..

Tony addison obtained a 20-year, $45,000 mortgage loan from united savings with an interest rate of 8.5%. his monthly payment is
Anna007 [38]

As given,  

Loan amount is = $45000

Rate of interest = 8.5%

So, Tony's mortgage will attract an interest of:

45000\times\frac{8.5}{100} = $3825  (this is yearly)

And for 1st month it will be = \frac{3825}{12}=  $318.75  

As given, the first month's payment is $390.60 and this covers the interest Additional amount ($390.60 - $318.75 = $71.85) is a payment against the principle.

Hence, the new principle after the 1st month is $71.85 less than $45000

= 45000-71.85 = $44928.15

Hence, the last option $44928.15 is the correct answer.

University graduates have a mean job search time of 38.1 weeks, with a standard deviation of 10.1 weeks. The distribution of job
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

7.1 weeks to 68.4 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

Chebyshev's Theorem states that:

75% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

89% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean = 38.1

Standard deviation = 10.1

Between what two search times does Chebyshev's Theorem guarantee that we will find at least 89% of the graduates

Between 3 standard deviations of the mean.

So from 38.1 - 3*10.1 = 7.8 weeks to 38.1 + 3*10.1 = 68.4 weeks
