Why would negative numbers not make sense for the values of the variables

One reason that negative numbers would not make sense for values of the variables is that the solution having a negative value is not valid. It might be that the expression represents a real word problem and a negative value will not make any sense. Hope this helps.

For this case, what we are going to do is answer the question using an example.

Suppose that the equation of the height of a ball as a function of time is given by:

h (t) = -16t ^ 2 + 40t + 100

We want to find the time when the ball reaches the ground.

To do this, we must match the equation to zero:

-16t ^ 2 + 40t + 100 = 0

From here, we clear the time.

The polynomial is of the second degree.

Therefore, it has two solutions.

Since we want to find time, then negative solutions do not make sense in this case.

Answer:

Negative values do not make sense for variables in some real-life problems.

Example: find the time when a ball hits the ground.

Determine the number of zeros of the polynomial function <br> F(x) = x^4 - x^7
Tresset [83]

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

Using fundamental theorem of algebra, there should be 7 roots, if you count multiplicity.

If you're only counting distinct roots, then there should be 4 roots.

The difference of two numbers is 90 and their quotient is 10
bija089 [108]
To solve this, set up two equations using the information you're given. Let's call our two numbers a and b:
1) D<span>ifference of two numbers is 90
a - b (difference of two numbers) = 90

2) The quotient of these two numbers is 10
a/b (quotient of the two numbers) = 10


Now you can solve for the two numbers.
1) Solve the second equation for one of the variables. Let's solve for a:
a/b = 10
a = 10b

2) Plug a =10b into the first equation and solve for the value of b:
a - b = 90
10b - b = 90
9b = 90
b = 10

3) Using b = 10, plug it back into one of the equations to find the value of a. I'll plug it back into the first equation:
a - b = 90
a - 10 = 90
a = 100

Taylor runs a smoothie shop and is in placing his order for a week.Each week he needs to have 2 gallons of pineapple juice and 4
Goryan [66]

Answer:

For pineapple juice

He need 160 more ounces of pineapple juice.

For orange juice

He needs 352 ounces more of orange juice.

Step-by-step explanation:

1 liquid gallon = 4 liquid quarts

1 liquid quart = 32 fluid ounces

Taylor runs a smoothie shop and is in placing his order for a week.

We are told that:

Each week he needs to have

a) For pineapple juice

2 gallons of pineapple juice

We convert these to quarts and ounces

1 gallons = 4 quarts

2 gallons = 2 × 4

= 8 quarts of pineapple juice

If he already has 3 quarts of pineapple juice

She needs: 8 quarts - 3 quarts

= 5 quarts

Converting these to ounces

1 liquid quart = 32 fluid ounces

5 quarts = x

Cross Multiply

=5 × 32 fluid ounces

= 160 fluid ounces

2) For orange juice

She needs to have 4 gallons of orange juice on hand

We convert these to quarts and ounces

1 gallons = 4 quarts

4 gallons = 4 × 4

=Hence she needs to have: 16 quarts of pineapple juice

If he already has 5 quarts of orange juice

She needs: 16 quarts - 5 quarts

= 11 quarts more

Converting these to ounces

1 liquid quart = 32 fluid ounces

11 quarts = x

Cross Multiply

=11 × 32 fluid ounces

= 352 fluid ounces
