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

Mathematics

Naily [24]3 years ago

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.

What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is
jonny [76]

Answer:

- \frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

How do we find the line that's perpendicular to another?

We find the negative reciprocal. So for example if our slope is 2, the negative reciprocal would be - \frac{1}{2}.

Solve each equation <br> <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B3x-2%7D%7Bx%2B%204%7D%20%3D0%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Cfrac%7B2%7
Sloan [31]

The expression (3x - 2)/(x + 4) = 0 has a value of x is 3/2. Amd the expression 2/(x + 4) = 0 has a value of x is ∞.

<h3>What is simplification?</h3>

Simplification is to make something easier to do or understand and to make something less complicated.

The expression is given below.

(3x - 2)/(x + 4) = 0

Then on simplifying, we have

3x - 2 = 0

    3x = 2

      x = 3/2

And

2/(x - 3) = 0

         2 ≠ 0

More about the simplification link is given below.

Please help me with this
Allisa [31]

Answer:

neither

Step-by-step explanation:

find the slopes of FG and HJ using the slope formula (y_2-y_1)/(x_2-x_1)

FG: (-1+3)/(-2-1)=2/-3=-2/3

HJ: (3-0)/(6-5)=3/1=3

perpendicular lines have slopes that are the negative reciprocal of each other. -2/3's negative reciprocal is 3/2 which isn't 3. the lines aren't parallel or perpendicular

What is the total volume of this compound shape?
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

This is very easy. First find the volume of the cube, and then add it to the volume of the hemisphere to find the total volume.

The volume of the cube is length x width x height: 8 x 8 x 12 = 768 cm

The volume of the hemisphere is (2/3)πr³ : (2/3)π(4)³ = 134.04 cm

*Radius is 4

Now add: 768 + 134.04 = 902.04 cm
