Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 2 vertical lines about the letters mean ' the absolute value of' . That is if a or b have negative values then the absolute value will be the positive . For example if a = -4 then |a| = 4. The absolute value is always positive.

Therefore, for example, if a is 2 and b = -2 then |a| will be equal to |b|, because they both have a value of 2.

Answer:

a = ±b

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertical bars are the symbol for "absolute value", so the equation is saying, "the absolute value of 'a' is equal to the absolute value of 'b'." The absolute value is the magnitude of a number, so, for example, |-3| = 3.

If the magnitudes of two numbers are the same, they may be the same value, or they may differ in sign.

Answer:

G 52% to 60%

Explanation:

The percentage of voters that plan to vote Yes = 56%

The survey's margin of error = +/-4%

Therefore, the range for the percentage of voters who plan to vote Yes is:

$\begin{gathered} 56\%\pm4\% \\ =56\%-4\%\text{ to }56\%+4\% \\ =52\%\text{ to }60\% \end{gathered}$

briana house is at (1,6) and jordan house is(5,3) what is one possible path from brianna house to jordan house

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

A (1,6)------> location Brianna's house on a map

B (5,3)------> location Jordan's house on a map

we know that

One possible path from Brianna's house to Jordan's house it's a straight line ( the shortest distance)

using a graph tool

see the attached figure

<em>Find the distance points AB</em>

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

$d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}$

substitute the values

$d_A_B=\sqrt{(3-6)^{2}+(5-1)^{2}}$

$d_A_B=\sqrt{(-3)^{2}+(4)^{2}}$

$d_A_B=\sqrt{25}$

$d_A_B=5\ units$

The distance from Brianna's house to Jordan's house is 5 units
