Afootball team started at the line of scrimmage. on the first play of the drive, the team lost 4 yards. on the second play of the drive, the team gained 45 yards. taylor calculated |–4 – 45| = |–49| = 49, and said that the team gained a total of 49 yards on the two plays. which best describes taylor’s error?
a. taylor did not find the correct distance between –4 and 45.
b. taylor did not make an error. the team gained a total of 49 yards on the two plays.
c. taylor correctly found the distance between –4 and 45, but this number represents the team’s total loss, not the team’s total gain.
d. taylor correctly found the distance between –4 and 45, but this number represents the total distance the team moved in both directions, not the team’s total gain.

D. Taylor correctly found the distance between –4 and 45, but this number represents the total distance the team moved in both directions, not the team’s total gain.

Step-by-step explanation:

The team only ended up gaining the 45 yards on the second play and had gained -4 on the first play.  45-4≠49, but the total distance between -4 and 45 is 49.

region b will make the inequalities y < 2x + 1 and y > -x - 2 true ⇒ answer a

step-by-step explanation:

* lets study the graph and the inequality to solve the question

- the inequality y > -x - 2

∵ the form of the inequality is y > mx + c , m is the slope of the line

  and c is the y-intercept (the line intersect y-axis at point (0 , c)

∴ c = -2 that means the line intersect the y-axis at point (0 , -2)

∵ the sign of the inequality is >

∴ we shad the part over the line

  region a and b

- the inequality y < 2x + 1

∵ the form of the inequality is y > mx + c , m is the slope of the line

  and c is the y-intercept (the line intersect y-axis at point (0 , c)

∴ c = 1 that means the line intersect the y-axis at point (0 , 1)

∵ the sign of the inequality is <

∴ we shad the part under the line

  region b and c

∵ the common region between the two lines is region b

∴ region b will make the inequalities y < 2x + 1 and y > -x - 2 true
