when three different numbers are chosen from the set {-3,-2,-1,4,5) and multiplies the greatest possible product is

1 answer:

5 0

1. We cannot pick both of the positive numbers 4 and 5 because the third one would be negative, and the overall product negative.

2. So we pick 5, the largest of (4, 5) and 2 negative numbers

3. Since the multiplication of the 2 negative numbers is positive, we pick the ones with larger absolute value, so -3 and -2

Answer: 5*(-3)*(-2)=5*6=30

Jake plans to take a summer job at the recreation center as a lifeguard. He can be paid according to two different plans.

Jlenok [28]

Payment on Plan A = $300

x is the number of hours Jake works.

Payment on Plan B = Fixed charges + (charge per hour) × (number of hours worked)

= $150 + $6.25(x)

= 150 + 6.25x

Since, the payment on Plan B should be more than Plan A,

150 + 6.25x > 300

6.25x > 300 - 150

6.25x > 150
