Which is a greater slope 3 or -4

Mathematics

1 answer:

castortr0y [4]3 years ago

4 0

Answer:

3 is greater than -4, but the line with slope -4 is steeper than the line with slope 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

3 is greater than -4, so strictly speaking, a slope of 3 is greater than a slope of -4.

On the other hand, the steepness of a line depends on the absolute value of the slope.

|3| = 3

|-4| = 4

Since 4 > 3, the line with slope -4 is steeper than the line with slope 3.

Answer: 3 is greater than -4, but the line with slope -4 is steeper than the line with slope 3.

Find the radius of a sphere whose surface area is 154cm².with stepss

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

THIS IS YOUR ANSWER:

$area \: of \: spere \: = 4\pi \: r {}^{2} \\ 154cm {}^{2} = 4 \times \frac{22}{7} \times r {}^{2}$

$\frac{154 \times 7}{4 \times 22} = r {}^{2} \\ r {}^{2} = 12.25 \\$

$r = \sqrt{12.25} \\ r = 3.5cm$

Calculer x si (x+1/2)^2= 4/9

-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

$x=-\frac{7}{6}\\x=\frac{1}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation to solve is:

$(x+\frac{1}{2})^2=\frac{4}{9}$

To get rid of the "square", we need to take square root of both sides:

$\sqrt{(x+\frac{1}{2})^2}=\sqrt{\frac{4}{9}}\\x+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{\sqrt{4}}{\sqrt{9}}$

Then we use algebra to find the value(s) of x. Remember, when we take square root, we have to add up a "+-" (on the right side). Shown below:

$x+\frac{1}{2}=+-\frac{\sqrt{4}}{\sqrt{9}}\\x+\frac{1}{2}=+-\frac{2}{3}\\x=\frac{2}{3}-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{6}\\x=-\frac{2}{3}-\frac{1}{2}=-\frac{7}{6}$

So these are 2 answers for x.

How many solutions does the equation 3x+15=2x+10+x+5 have

sveticcg [70]

Answer:

Infinite

Step-by-step explanation:

3x+15=2x+10+x+5

grouping

3x+15=3x+15

If you have a equation where both sides are the exactly the same, the solutions are infinite. This is written as: x€ℝ
