Draw out a horizontal line. Place 0 at the center. Then place evenly spaced tick marks on either side of 0. Label the right side of tick marks as 1, 2, 3, ... moving from 0 and going to the right

Label the left side of tick marks -1, -2, -3, ... starting at 0 and moving left

The location -3 on the number line is exactly 3 units away from 0. We start at 0 and move to -3 by moving 3 spots to the left; or we start at -3 and move 3 units to the right to get to 0.

Therefore, the absolute value of -3 is 3
Absolute value on a number line is the distance a number is from 0
The distance is never negative

A pattern follows the rule "Starting with three, every consecutive line has 2 less than twice the previous line."

"Starting with three, every consecutive line has 2 less than twice the previous line."

this statement means that
your staring line has 3 marbles. You multiply the 3 marblesby 2 so
3x2=6
And then you minus it by 2
6-2=4

which means that you'll get 4 marbles for the next line.

So to get your 6th line, you count how many marbles is on the 5th line but since your diagram doesn't have the 5th line you have to figure out the 5th line by counting how.many marbles is on the 4th line.

4th line = 10 marbles

10×2=20
20-2=18

5th line = 18

18×2=36
36-2=34

So the 6th line has 34 marbles.

A regression equation is obtained for a collection of paired data. It is found that the total variation is 20.711 , the explaine

galben [10]

Answer:

0.898

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the Coefficient of determination = ratio of explained variation to Total variation

From the above question, we have the following values

Explained variation = 18.592

Total variation = 20.711

The coefficient of determination = 18.592 : 20.711

= 18.592/20.711

= 0.8976872194

Approximately ≈ 0.898

Therefore, the coefficient of determination is 0.898

The expression 2.85+2.70M gives the taxi fare in dollars for a trip of M miles. On Thursday you got a find Miss Hearst took a ta

horrorfan [7]

Answer:

Total fair of the two trips was $32.7

Explanation:

We are given that the expression that taxi fair is:

2.85 + 2.7M where M represents the number of miles

1- For Thursday:

Number of miles covered = M = 6 miles

Substitute with M=6 in the given equation to get the fair on Thursday as follows:

Fair on Thursday = 2.85 + 2.7(6) = $19.05

2- For Friday:

Number of miles covered = M = 4 miles

Substitute with M=4 in the given equation to get the fair on Friday as follows:

Fair on Friday = 2.85 + 2.7(4) = $13.65

3- The total fair:

Total fair = fair on Thursday + fair on Friday

Total fair = 19.05 + 13.65 = $32.7

Hope this helps :)

Factorization is the process of breaking an integer down into its components or divisors, and further calculation can be defined as follows:

Given:

$20x^{2} +124x+24$

To find:

solve the given problem

Solution:

$\to \bold{20x^{2} +124x+24}\\\\\to \bold{4(5x^{2} +31x+6)}\\\\\to \bold{4(5x^{2} +31x+6)}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 5\times 6= 30 \ \ and\ \ 30 \times 1= 30\\\\\to \bold{4(5x^{2} +(30+1)x+6)}\\\\\to \bold{4(5x^{2} +30x+1x+6)}\\\\\to \bold{4(5x(x +6)+1(x+6)}\\\\\to \bold{4((x +6) (5x+1)}\\\\$

Therefore, the final answer is " $\bold{4((x+6)(5x+1))}$ ".
