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.

Locate the mean of 2046,971,3113,and 1850.
Debora [2.8K]
To find the mean, you have to add all the numbers then divide it by how many numbers there are.

In this case, you'll need to add all those numbers and divide it by 4.
2046+971+3113+1850=7980\\7980\div4=1995

The mean is 1995.

Chazmire purchases 14 bags of flour for her bakery.Each bag of flour cost $2.47. How much does chazmire soend for flout
solong [7]

Answer:

$34.58

Step-by-step explanation:

If each bag of flour cost $2.47, then;

1 bag = $2.47

To calculate the cost of 14bags;

14 bags = x

x is the cost of 14 bags

Divide both expressions

1/14 = 2.47/x

cross multiply

1 * x = 14 * 2.47

x = $34.58

Hence Chazmire spent $34.58 on flour
