Absolute value just man's the distance it is away from zero. |8| is 8 because it is 8 numbers away from 0.|-8| is also 8 for the same reason.

That's so easy that you won't believe it !

The absolute value of a number is just the size of it, ignoring whether it's
a positive or negative number.

Negative numbers go down.  Positive numbers go up.  Absolute value is
just how far the number goes, regardless of which direction.

Absolute value is how much money passed between you and the bank,
regardless of whether you put it in or took it out.

Absolute value is how much the airplane's altitude changed, regardless of
whether it climbed or descended.  It's the length of your trip in the elevator,
regardless of whether you were going up or down.

The absolute values of  +492  and  -492  are the same. 
Both numbers are  492  big.

Factor the following equations to find the zeros of the equation.
olasank [31]

Answer:

1) 4, -5 and 3 are the ZEROES of the expression j = (p - 4)(p + 5)(p - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given phrase is:

j = (p - 4)(p + 5)(p - 3)

Now, here j is Expressed as the product of roots.

(p - 4),(p + 5) and (p - 3) are 3 given roots of the polynomial j.

Now, if (x-a) is the ROOT of the polynomial, then x = a is the ZERO of the POLYNOMIAL.

In this given expression:

(p-4) is the ROOT⇒  4 is the ZERO of the polynomial j.

(p+5) is the ROOT⇒  (-5) is the ZERO of the polynomial j.

(p-3) is the ROOT⇒  3 is the ZERO of the polynomial j.

Hence, here 4, -5 and 3 are the ZEROES of the expression

j = (p - 4)(p + 5)(p - 3)

4. A triangle has vertices (-2,-3) (3,5) and (8,-1) .
Hatshy [7]
Given:
Vertex 1 (-2,-3)
Vertex 2 (3,5)
Vertex 3 (8,-1)

Reflection across the x-axis rule (x,y) → (x -y)
Vertex 1 (-2,-3) → (-2,-(-3)) → (-2,3)
Vertex 2 (3,5) → (3,-5)
Vertex 3 (8,-1) → (8,-(-1)) → (8,1)

Rotation 90° clockwise (x,y) → (y,-x)  *I'm assuming the original triangle was rotated and not the reflection.
Vertex 1 (-2,-3) → (-3,-(-2)) → (-3,2)
Vertex 2 (3,5) → (5,-3)
Vertex 3 (8,-1) → (-1,-8)

Arrange the steps in the correct order to solve the equation 3 (2^2t-5 )- 4=10
liberstina [14]
The equation to be solved is: 3 [ 2 ^ (2t - 5) ] - 4 = 10

The steps are:

1) transpose - 4=> 3 [ 2^ (2t - 5) ] = 10 + 4

2) Combine like terms => 3 [2^ (2t - 5) ] = 14

3) Divide both terms by 3 => 2^ (2t - 5) = 14 / 3

4) Take logarithms of both sides => (2t - 5) log (2) = log (14/3)

5) Divide both sides by log (2) =>

                log (14/3)
2t - 5 = -------------------
                 log (2)

6) transpose - 5+>

                log (14/3)
2t  = ------------------- + 5 = 2.22 + 5
                 log (2)

2t = 7.22

7) divide both sides by 2 => t = 7.22 / 2 = 3.61

Una compañía de danza de 156 bailarines hace una coreografía formando filas y columnas.Si en una fila hay 20 bailarines más que
Zigmanuir [339]

Responder:

Por favor, consulte la explicación.

Explicación paso a paso:

Dado lo siguiente:

Número de bailarines = 156

Sea número de bailarines en una columna = c

Número de bailarines seguidos = c + 20

Multiplicar el número de bailarines en fila y columna dará el número total de bailarines.

Por lo tanto,

c * (c + 20) = 156

c² + 20c = 156

c² + 20c - 156 = 0

c² + 26c - 6c - 156 = 0

c (c + 26) - 6 (c + 26) = 0

(c + 26) = 0 o (c - 6) = 0

c = - 26 o c = 6

C no puede ser negativo

Por lo tanto,

Número de bailarines en columna = 6

Número de bailarines en fila = 20 + 6 = 26

I thought of a 2 digit number. The digits of my number are different. The unit digit of my number is the tens digit raised their
ira [324]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

I thought of a 2 digit number. The digits of my number are different:  [XY]

Then I'm lost. Does "The unit digit of my number is the tens digit raised third power" mean that the X is raised to the third power?:

X^3

But then we need more information.  X could be 1, 2,3, or 4.  At 5 it becomes a three digit number.  All of the other option result in a two digit number with different digits, so all seem possible.  I don't know how to answer this without more information.
