No, there can not be negative amplitude because it is just the distance between the max and the midline or the minimum and the midline.
I see where you might be confused because for instance in the trig equation:
y = -3 sin (.5(x-

/2)) -1, there is a negative in front of the amplitude. However, when finding the amplitude, you take the absolute value of a.
Answer:
8/15
Step-by-step explanation:
Since this is a right triangle
tan C = opp side / adjacent side
tan C = 8/15
Given from the question
first fraction = 5/6
second fraction = 1/3
We're asked what's the difference between the fraction
First, we need to equalize the denominator to the same number. The first denominator is 6, the second denominator is 3. I'd like to make them both 6. So the second denominator needs to be multiplied by 2, so does the numerator
second fraction = 1/3
second fraction = (1 × 2)/(3 × 2)
second fraction = 2/6
Second, we have new fractions which have the same denominator. Calculate the difference
d = first fraction - second fraction
d = 5/6 - 2/6
d = 3/6
The red tape is 3/6 yard more than the green tape.
Answer:
5.25 : 1
Step-by-step explanation:
If 84% of the counters are blue, then 16% of the counters are yellow.
percentage of yellow counters = 100% - 84% = 16%
blue counters : yellow counters = 84 : 16 (we don't write %)
Now divide with 16, so the second number becomes 1.
