Callie evaluated the expression 0.42 times 4.73 using the steps shown below. 0.42 times 4.73 = 1.26. 1.26 + 29.40 + 168.00 = 198.66 Which best explains Callie’s error? Callie incorrectly placed the decimal. Callie multiplied incorrectly. Callie added incorrectly. Callie incorrectly used placeholder zeros.

The correct option is;

Callie multiplied incorrectly

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have 0.42 × 4.73 = 1.9866 then

1.9866 + 29.4 + 168 = 199.3866

Therefore, from the question, we had 0.42 × 4.73 = 1.26 which is incorrect, meaning that Callie multiplied incorrectly

Apparently, Callie multiplied as follows;

0.42 × 3 = 1.26 but what was in the question was

0.42 × 4.73 which is equal to 1.9866.

if we use a graphing calculator, there is only one such number that satisfies the conclusion of the mean value theorem, that is, a number such that

where the right-hand side is the average rate of change of f on the interval [0.5,0.75], which is the slope of the secant line.

in the attached graph, the black line is the secant line which has its slope as the average rate of change of f on [0.5,0.75], while the orange line is the only tangent line to the graph of f in the interval that satisfies the mvt conclusion.
