No, while the difference represents the absolute magnitude of two numbers . . . for example . . .

The difference between 5 and 2 is . . . 3
The difference between 6.4 and 9.5 is . . . 3.1

. . . there is still the chance that the difference may be zero . . . in which case the difference is neither positive nor negative

. . . so in short . . . the answer is . . . <span>NO</span>

WILL MARK AS BRAINLIEST PLEASE HELP!!!

Step-by-step explanation:

2x = y-10

Rewrite as: 2x + 10 = y

Therefore:

2x+10 = y

2x +7 = 2y

Subtract the equations:

2x + 10 = y

- 2x + 7 = 2y

______________

3 = -y

Therefore y = -3

Substiture y = -3 into the second equation:

2x + 7 = 2(-3)

2x + 7 = -6

2x = -13

x= -6.5

Answer : (-6.5, -3)

Is x - 8 a factor of the function f(x) = -2x3 + 17x2 - 64? Explain.

Oduvanchick [21]

we know that

If $(x-8)$ is a factor of the function $f(x)=-2x^{3}+17x^{2}-64$

then

$x=8$ is a root of the function f(x)

therefore

For $x=8$ the value of the function must be zero

Verify

Substitute the value of $x=8$ in the function

$f(8)=-2(8)^{3}+17(8)^{2}-64$

$f(8)=-2(512)+17(64)-64$

$f(8)=-1,024+1,088-64$

$f(8)=-1,088+1,088$

$f(8)=0$

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

Yes, $(x-8)$ is a factor of the function f(x)

I need help on this it is a fraction subtract another fraction which is negative thx to whoever helps 5/7-(-1/7)

Sav [38]

Answer:

$\frac{5}{7}-(-\frac{1}{7})=\frac{6}{7}$

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate :

$\frac{5}{7}-(-\frac{1}{7})$

Solution:

Two negatives multiply to become a positive.

Thus, we can remove parenthesis by reversing the signs of the fraction by multiplying the negative outside.

⇒ $\frac{5}{7}+\frac{1}{7}$

Since the denominators are same for both fractions, so we simply add the numerators.

⇒ $\frac{5+1}{7}$

⇒ $\frac{6}{7}$ (Answer)
