Juli2301 [7.4K]

Question:

Fernando evaluated the expression below.

$\frac{5(9-5)}{2} + (-2)(-5) + (-3)^2 = \frac{5(4)}{2} -10 + 9 = \frac{20}{2} - 10 + 9 = 10 - 10 + 9 = 9$

What was Fernando's error?

- Fernando evaluated the numerator of the fraction incorrectly.

- Fernando simplified 20/2 incorrectly.

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

- Fernando evaluated (-3)² incorrectly.

Answer:

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

Explanation:

Given

$\frac{5(9-5)}{2} + (-2)(-5) + (-3)^2 = \frac{5(4)}{2} -10 + 9 = \frac{20}{2} - 10 + 9 = 10 - 10 + 9 = 9$

Spot the error

The error in this evaluation is the product of -2 and -5 at step 2

When a negative number (-2) is multiplied by a negative number (-5), the outcome of the multiplication is always a positive number (10).

So, the result of -2 * -5 is 10 but Fernando incorrectly calculated it as -10.

Solving the expression, correctly

$\frac{5(9-5)}{2} + (-2)(-5) + (-3)^2 = \frac{5(4)}{2} + 10 + 9$

$\frac{5(9-5)}{2} + (-2)(-5) + (-3)^2 = \frac{20}{2} + 10 + 9$

$\frac{5(9-5)}{2} + (-2)(-5) + (-3)^2 = 10 + 10 + 9$

$\frac{5(9-5)}{2} + (-2)(-5) + (-3)^2 = 29$

Hence, the actual result of the expression is 29 (not 9 as calculated by Fernando).

Sara is an avid player of video games. For a class speech, she takes the position that video games can actually be beneficial to

lesya692 [45]

Answer:

Yes. She is guilty of patchwork plagiarism.

Explanation:

According to the text in the question, Sara has used large sections of three different sources by cutting and pasting them. She does not cite the sources and does not make an effort to use her own words or to use only a couple of lines from each source. When someone copies large portions of two or more sources and presents the result as their own work, we have a case of patchwork plagiarism. Therefore, Sara is guilty of that kind of plagiarism.

Read the passage and examine the chart. Local high school students were surveyed on what classes they would like to see offered

NARA [144]

Answer:

C). The chart provides the data from the survey visually, and the text describes it.

Explanation:

The third statement most aptly compares the two distinct formats of representing information. The chart offers a visual representation of the data that assists the audience to have better clarity of the data and understand it effectively. It also aids them in memorizing or retaining the information more conveniently. The passage, on the other hand, aims to describe the visual information in words that helps the readers to understand the overall idea and conclusion represented by the data. Thus, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.
