What is the difference of two positive rational number always positive?

1 answer:

6 0

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>

Answer:

The probability of hitting a single or a double is 1/5 or 20% or 20/100 or 0.2

Step-by-step explanation:

In probability, whenever we are to answer an ‘or’ question, we add up the probabilities involved.

The probability of hitting a single is 15%, that is same as 15/100 or just simply 0.15

The probability of hitting a double is 5%, that is simply 5/100 or just simply 0.05

The probability of hitting a single or a double = Probability of hitting a single + Probability of hitting a double = 0.15 + 0.05 = 0.20 or 20/100 or 1/5

What is the equation in point slope form of the line that passes through the points (-3,5) and (2,-3)?

SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

y - (-3) = -8/5 (x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

-3 -5 = -8

2 - (-3) = 5

slope = -8/5

y - (-3) = -8/5 (x - 2)

Explain how to modify the graphs of f(x) and g(x) to graph the solution set to the following system of inequalities. How can the

Norma-Jean [14]

The graphs of f(x) and g(x) are transformed function from the function y = x^2

The set of inequalities do not have a solution

<h3>How to modify the graphs</h3>

From the graph, we have:

$f(x) = x^2 -3$ and $g(x) = -x^2 +2$

To derive y < x^2 - 3, we simply change the equality sign in the function f(x) to less than.

To derive y > x^2 + 2, we perform the following transformation on the function g(x)

Shift the function g(x) down by 2 units
Reflect across the x-axis
Shift the function g(x) down by 3 units
Change the equality sign in the function g(x) to greater than

<h3>How to identify the solution set</h3>

The inequalities of the graphs become

y < x^2 - 3 and y > x^2 + 2

From the graph of the above inequalities (see attachment), we can see that the curves of the inequalities do not intersect.

Hence, the set of inequalities do not have a solution
