Answer: For absolute value word problem, every number is positive and always look for key words that tell weather you add, subtract, divide, or multiply.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
3.2 × 10^4
Step-by-step explanation:
Move the decimal so there is one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point. The number of decimal places you move will be the exponent on the 10
. If the decimal is being moved to the right, the exponent will be negative. If the decimal is being moved to the left, the exponent will be positive.
3.2 × 10
^4
Answer:
About 12.5 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
You take 150feet and divide it by 12, once you do that you get 12.5 feet. to double check that you do 12.5 times 12 and you get 150
OK. Here we go:
What is the square root of 9 ?
You would say that 3 is, and you're correct.
But that's NOT the <em>only one</em> there is !
What about -3 ?
What do you get when you multiply (-3) times (-3) ?
(Remember that when the signs of both numbers are <em>the same</em>,
the answer is positive.)
(-3) times (-3) = 9
So -3 is <em>also</em> the square root of 9 .
That's right . . . every number has <em>two</em> square roots. They're both the
same number, but one is positive, and one is negative. When you
multiply <em>either one</em> of them by itself, you get the original number.
Another way to say the same thing is:
Every number has one positive square root and one negative square root,
and except for the signs, they're both the same number.
