One student says -5 is bigger than -4 and uses money as the analogy: “If I owe $5, I have a bigger debt than if I owe $4.” What is wrong with this argument?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

This is a bad argument because when talking about negative numbers, the closer the numbers are to 0, the bigger they are. -4 is closer to 0 than -5, so -4 is the bigger number.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

-5 is not larger than -4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Think of a number line. The absolute value of -5 is 5, meaning -5 is 5 away from 0 to the left. On the other hand, -4's absolute value is 4, meaning -4 is 4 away from 0 to the left. In the money scenario, owing $5 is a bigger debt because the absolute value is larger, not the number itself. Hope this helps!!

Purple Taxi has no pick-up fee, but charges $0.25 per mile. ABC Taxi charges $3 for pick-up and $0.15 per mile. Which inequality can be used to find the number of miles, n, for which the cost of a cab ride with Purple Taxi exceeds the cost of a cab ride with ABC Taxi? 0.25n≥3+0.15n 0.25n+3<0.15n 0.25n>0.15n+3 3+0.15n>0.25n

Answers

Answer:

0.25n>0.15n+3

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an inequality:

Since Purple taxi charges 0.25 per mile, the cost of using Purple taxi is:

0.25n  

Where n is the number of miles.

ABC Taxi charges $3 for pick-up and $0.15 per mile

So, the cost for using ABC taxi is equal to the fixed fee per pick up (3) , plus the cost per mile (0.15n)

3+0.15n

To find the number of miles, n, for which the cost of a cab ride with Purple Taxi exceeds the cost of a cab ride with ABC Taxi, the cost of a cab ride with purple taxi must be higher (>) than the cost of a cab ride with ABC taxi.

0.25n>0.15n+3

If f(x) = |x| + 9 and g(x) = –6, which describes the value of (f + g)(x)? a.)(f + g)(x)≥3 for all values of x b.)(f + g)(x) ≤ 3 for all values of x c.)(f + g)(x) ≤ 6 for all values of x d.)(f + g)(x) ≥6 for all values of x

Answers

Answer:

Answer (a)

Step-by-step explanation:

(f + g)(x) would be equal to |x| + 9 - 6, which reduces to |x| + 3.

Since |x| cannot be less than zero, the range of this composite function

(f + g)(x) = |x| + 3 is [3, infinity).  That is, the smallest value is 3.  This corresponds to Answer (a).

Dominique is buying water. She needs 2 liters. A​ half-liter of water costs ​$2.46. A 250​-milliliter container of water costs ​$1.48. What should Dominique buy so she gets 2 liters at the lowest​ price? Explain.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\fbox{\begin{minipage}{15em}A half-liter of water costs 2.46$\end{minipage}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Dominique wants to buy [tex]2[/tex] liters of water.

Case 1:

A half-liter of water costs [tex]2.46[/tex].

The [tex]2[/tex] half-liters is [tex]1[/tex] liter => The cost of a liter of water ([tex]A[/tex]) is calculated by multiply  the cost of [tex]1[/tex] half-liter by [tex]2[/tex]:

[tex]A = 2.46[/tex] x [tex]2[/tex] = [tex]4.92[/tex]

=> The cost of two liters: [tex]A_{1}[/tex] = [tex]A[/tex] x [tex]2[/tex] = [tex]4.92[/tex] x [tex]2[/tex] = [tex]9.84[/tex] $

Case 2:

A quarter-liter of water costs [tex]1.48[/tex].

The 4 quarter-liters is [tex]1[/tex] liter => The cost of a liter of water ([tex]B[/tex]) is calculated by multiply the cost of [tex]1[/tex] quarter-liter by [tex]4[/tex]:

[tex]B = 1.48[/tex] x [tex]4[/tex] = [tex]5.92[/tex]

=> The cost of two liters: [tex]B_{1} = 5.92[/tex] x [tex]2[/tex] = [tex]11.84[/tex] $

Compare [tex]A_{1}[/tex] and [tex]B_{1}[/tex], the cost of second buying method is more expensive.

=> She should buy the water, in which a​ half-liter of water costs ​$[tex]2.46[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

[tex]a=3[/tex] and the x-intercept of the inverse function is [tex]x=-2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

[tex]f(x)=\frac{x}{3}-2[/tex]

[tex]f^{-1}(x)=a(x+2)[/tex]

To find: slope, a, of the inverse function and the x-intercept of the inverse function

Solution:

Let [tex]y=f(x)=\frac{x}{3}-2[/tex]

[tex]y=\frac{x}{3} -2\\\frac{x}{3}=y+2\\x=3(y+2)\\[/tex]

So, [tex]f^{-1}(x)=3(x+2)[/tex]

On comparing [tex]f^{-1}(x)=a(x+2)[/tex] with [tex]f^{-1}(x)=3(x+2)[/tex], [tex]a=3[/tex]

To find the x-intercept of the inverse function, put [tex]f^{-1}(x)=0\Rightarrow 3(x+2)=0\Rightarrow x=-2[/tex]

Solve for x. 9x=3x−3

Answers

Answer:

x=-1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

9X = 3X + -3

Reorder the terms:

9X = -3 + 3X

Solving

9X = -3 + 3X

Solving for variable 'X'.

Move all terms containing X to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-3X' to each side of the equation.

9X + -3X = -3 + 3X + -3X

Combine like terms: 9X + -3X = 6X

6X = -3 + 3X + -3X

Combine like terms: 3X + -3X = 0

6X = -3 + 0

6X = -3

Divide each side by '6'.

X = -0.5

Answer:

x = -0.5

Step-by-step explanation:

In an equation, the goal is the isolate the variable. We do this by undoing the operations done to result in the given equation.

Step 1: Subtract 3x

6x = -3

Step 2: Divide by 6

-0.5

Step 3: Check

What is the solution to the system of linear equations?
2x + y= 5
5x+4y= 11
(3,-1)
(-5,9)
(2, -1)
(5.-7)

Answers

Answer:

(3, -1)

x is 3

y is -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving for x:

2x+y=5

Subtract y from both sides

2x= -y+5

Subtract 5 from both sides

2x-5= -y

Multiply both sides by 4

8x-20= -4y

5x+4y=11

Subtract 4y from both sides

5x= -4y+11

Subtract 11 from both sides

5x-11= -4y

Combine equations:

5x-11=8x-20

Subtract 5x from both sides

-11=3x-20

Add 20 to both sides

9=3x

3x=9

Divide both sides by 3

x=3

Solving for y:

2x+y=5

Subtract y from both sides

2x= -y+5

-y+5=2x

Multiply both sides by 5

-5y+25=10x

5x+4y=11

Subtract 4y from both sides

5x= -4y+11

-4y+11=5x

Multiply both sides by 2

-8y+22=10x

Combine equations:

-8y+22= -5y+25

Add 8y to both sides

22=3y+25

Divide both sides by 25

-3=3y

3y= -3

Divide both sides by 3

y= -1

When a central bank increases bank reserves by $1, the money supply rises by more than $1. The amount of extra money created when the central bank increases bank reserves by $1 is called the money multiplier.a. The money multiplier is generally greater than 1 because:1. in a fractional-reserve banking system, each dollar bill is spent more than once (velocity is larger than 1), thereby increasing the money supply by more than $1.2. in a fractional-reserve banking system, each dollar of reserves can support more than one dollar of deposits, thereby increasing the money supply by more than $1.3. in a 100 percent reserve banking system, each dollar of reserves supports exactly one hundred dollars of deposits, thereby increasing the money supply by $100.4. when a central bank increases bank reserves by $1, deposits are automatically increased by $1 as well, thereby increasing the money supply by $2.The money multiplier is equal to 1 when:1. reserves < deposits.2. reserves > deposits.3. reserves = deposits.b. The initial money supply is $1,500, of which $700 is currency held by the public. The desired reserve-deposit ratio is 0.1. Calculate the increase in the money supply associated with increases in bank reserves of $10. What is the money multiplier in this economy? Assume that individuals do not change their currency holdings.c. A general rule for calculating the money multiplier is:1. 1/(deposit ratio-desired reserve).2. 1/deposit ratio.3. 1/desired reserve.4. 1/(desired reserve-deposit ratio).d. Suppose the Fed wanted to reduce the money multiplier, perhaps because it believes that change would give it more precise control over the money supply. In order to achieve its goal, the Fed would:1. decrease the ratio of reserves to deposits.2. increase reserve requirements.3. increase the money supply.4. decrease reserve requirements.
