in class, matthew stated "i think that a negative is like an opposite. That is why multiplying a negative times a negative equal

sveticcg [70]

Yes and no. A negative number and it's opposite are 'integers.' Yes, a negative and a negative multiplied together give you a positive. The two negative signs cancel out making it positive. But no, a positive and a positive multiplied together do not give you a negative. When you subtract positive numbers you can get a negative, but not when multiplying. If you were to do a positive times a negative it would be negative because the positive can't cancel it out. Example: -3 · -3 = 9. [] 3 · 3 = 9. [] -3 · 3 = -9. Other than the positive number part, the statement is true about the negatives. I hope that helped!

Look at triangle ABC. What is the length of said AB of the triangle

Nuetrik [128]

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points}
\\\\
A(\stackrel{x_1}{4}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{5})\qquad 
B(\stackrel{x_2}{1}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{2})\qquad \qquad 
% distance value
d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2}
\\\\\\
AB=\sqrt{(1-4)^2+(2-5)^2}\implies AB=\sqrt{(-3)^2+(-3)^2}
\\\\\\
AB=\sqrt{9+9}\implies \boxed{AB=\sqrt{18}}\implies AB=\sqrt{2(9)}
\\\\\\
AB=\sqrt{2(3^2)}\implies \implies AB=3\sqrt{2}$
