Answer:
|-3| = 3 and -|-4| = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
The absolute value function changes the sign to positive, if it isn't already. The usual rules of arithmetic and logic apply to these statements.
|-3| = 3 (true) and -|-4| = -4 (true) ⇒ this statement is true
|-3| = 3 (true) and |-4| = -4 (false) ⇒ this statement is false
-|3| = 3 (false) and |4| = 4 (true) ⇒ this statement is false
|-3| = 3 (true) and -|4| = 4 (false) ⇒ this statement is false

A compound "and" statement is only true if <u>all</u> of the parts of it are true.
The rise or an increase in altitude is represented by positive sign and a decend or decrease in altitude is represented by negative sign.
First the helicopter descended 1200 feet. So the change in altitude will be -1200 feet.
Then the helicopter rose by 800 feet. So the change in altitude will be 800 feet.
Finally the helicopter descended by 450 feet. So the change in altitude will be -450 feet.
The net change in altitude will be the sum of all the above 3 changes.
Change in altitude = -1200 + 800 - 450 = -850 feet
The negative sign indicates a descend i.e. loss in altitude. So the net change in altitude was a loss of 850 feet.
Answer:
P(compact cars) = 4/25
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that there are 13 trucks, 8 vans, and 4 compact cars.
Let P denotes the probability of an event
Now we are asked to find the probability of compact cars
Number of favorable events = number of compact cars = 4
total number of outcomes = 13+8+4 = 25
hence, P(compact cars) = number of favorable events/total outcomes
=4/25
The area of a triangle is base x height/2,
so all you have to do is multiply 6x20 to get 120 and then divide that by 2 to get 60 m squared!! :)
