Explain why the absolute value of a number will never be negative

2 answers:

The absolute value of a number will never be negative because absolute value is the distance from zero, so it will always be positive. For example, you can't be -6 away from 0, you are 6 away from 0.

The absolute value basically means the distant from zero. Distant is never negative, you don't say 'Bob walked negative 2 miles from his house'. For example: The absolute value of -5 is 5 because if you count the intervals from zero to -5, there are 5 spaces.

Can i get some help. did it 3 times and still not sure.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of the cone is 8, and the diameter is 3. This means that the radius is 3/2, or 1.5. We can plug everything into the formula (using 3 for pi):

$\frac{3(1.5)^2(8)}{3}$

We can cancel out the 3 from the numerator and the denominator, so we are left with 1.5^2 times 8. 1.5 squared is equal to 2.25, and 2.25 times 8 is equal to 18.

A 25 ft. ladder resting against the side of a building forms a right triangle with the ground. The bottom of the ladder is 7 ft.

Answer:

The correct answer is 24

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve this you will need to use the pathagreom theorum

a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}

A= one side lenth

B= the secons side lenth

C= hypotnuse

It is helpfull to draw out the situation

you know that the latter is 25 ft, that is your hypotnuse

you also know that the 7 ft away from the base of the building is one of the side lenths, lets call it side a

so plug the numbers into the equation

7^2 + b^2 = 25 ^2

you leave b^2 alone because that is the side you are trying to find

now square 7 and 25 but leave b^2 alone

49 + b^2 = 625

now subtract 49 from both sides

b^2 = 576

now to get rid of the square of b you have to do the opposite and square root both sides removing the square of the B and giving you the answer of..........

B= 24

Hope this helped!! I tryed to explain it as simpil as possiable

Write in slope-intercept form an equation of the line that passes through the point (r,p) with slope q.

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

y=q(x-r)+p

Step-by-step explanation:

y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-p=q(x-r)

y=qx-qr+p

y=q(x-r)+p
