Will the opposite of a number always,sometimes,or never be greater than the number itself

1 answer:

What do you mean by opposite? If you mean reciprocal, then the negative numbers will always be bigger (-2 : -1/2) and the positive numbers will get smaller (2 : 1/2). One will not be affected and will always be one, because the reciprocal of 1/1 is 1/1. If you are talking about opposites as in positive and negative opposites, then the opposite of a positive number is smaller than the original number (2 : -2) and the opposite of a negative number is larger than the original (-2 : 2). Zero is unaffected here because zero cannot be positive nor negative. Hope this helps, and sorry if this is confusing.

3(2v-1)=6v-4 can someone pls help me with this

ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

dy/dx= -(2x+3y+1)/(3x-2y+1)

Let x= X+p. and y = Y+q. then dy/dx = dy/dX.

dy/dX= -(2X+2p+3Y+3q+1)/(3X+3p-2Y-2q+1) =

dy/dX = -{2X+3Y+(2p+3q+1)}/{3X-2Y+(3p-2q+1)}

Now 2p+3q+1=0……………..(1)

3p-2q +1=0…………………………(2)

p/(3+2)=q/(3–2)=1/(-4–9)
