Answer:

⇒Absolute Value of a Number is always Positive , while the opposite of a number is finding the Additive inverse of a Number, that is they add to zero, when two opposite numbers are added.

|+x|=x, |+5|=5

|-x|=x, |-5|=5

And Opposite of 5 is -5 and Opposite of -5 is 5 because, -5+5=0 ,also, addition satisfies commutative Property, so (+5)+(-5)=0, will give same result.

kherson [118]

Answer: For the equation simply substitute 30 in for v and 4 in for s in the equation given, so H=-16t^2+30t+4

Part 2.

If the juggler misses the ball, you wish to know the time that it takes for the ball to travel the four feet from his hand to the ground, so respectively,

4=-16t^2+30t+4 or 0=-16t^2+30t or 0 = -16t+30,

solving for t, t =30/16 seconds or 1.875 seconds
