Explain the difference between |-3| and -3?

Mathematics

They are opposites. since |-3| has the lines around it, this represents absolute value, which is not positive or negative but how far away the value is from 0. the plain -3 remains the same. |-3| is 3, because it is 3 units away from 0 on the number line.

Absolute value means how many spaces away from zero a point is.

If a point is placed at |-17| then it means the point is either 17 spaces positive or negative.

Also, you might not be talking about graphing and in this case then the absolute value of anything is positive while a number alone is just that number.

50 Points: Name the similar triangles & Prove the similarity with details
Leno4ka [110]

<u>Let's consider the facts at hand</u>:

  • By Vertical Angle Theorem ⇒ ∠BCE = ∠DCF
  • ∠BEC = ∠DFC
  • Sides BE = DF

<u>Based on the diagram, triangles BCE and triangles DCF are similar</u>

   ⇒ based on the Angle-Angle theorem

      ⇒ since ∠BCE = ∠DCF and ∠BEC = ∠DFC

         ⇒ the two triangles are similar

Hope that helps!

<em>Definitions of Theorem I used:</em>

  • <u><em>Vertical Angle Theorem: </em></u><em>opposite angles of two intersecting lines must be equal</em>
  • <u><em>Angle-Angle Theorem:</em></u><em> if two angles of both triangles are equal, then the given triangles must be similar</em>

What is the difference 7/78 - 3 1/4=
ZanzabumX [31]
     <span> here
7 7/8
= [ (8*7) + 7 ] / 8
= (56 + 7) / 8
=63 / 8

similarly,
3 1/4
=[ (4*3) + 1] / 4
= (12 + 1) / 4
= 13/4

----------------------------
now put the values
7 7/8 - 3 1/4
= 63/8 - 13/4
here, take LCM of 8 & 4 which is 8.
now,
[ (1*63) - (2 * 13) ] / 8
= (63 - 26) / 8
= 37/8
= 4 5/8........................[ here, divide 37 by 8 which gives reminder as 5 and divisible value as 4 ]</span>
