The third selection is appropriate.
|-40 -18| = |-58| = 58 . . . . units

_____
In the first selection, it is trying to tell you |-58| = -58. That is not so. The result of taking the absolute value is that the sign is never negative.

Two roller coasters are vying for the title of the steepest drop the first ride has a hill that drops 140 feet in a 40 foot run

muminat

Answer:

They have the same slope

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Coaster 1:

$Drops = 140ft$

$Run = 40ft$

Coaster 2:

$Drops = 105ft$

$Run = 30ft$

First, we calculate the slope (m) of both coasters

$m = \frac{Rise}{Run}$

$m = \frac{Drops}{Run}$

For coaster 1:

$m = \frac{140ft}{40ft}$

$m = \frac{140}{40}$

$m = 3.5$

For coaster 1:

$m = \frac{105ft}{30ft}$

$m = \frac{105}{30}$

$m = 3.5$

$m = m=>3.5 = 3.5$

By comparison, they have the same slope

A cup of coffee at 85 degrees Celsius is placed in a room at 25 degrees Celsius. Suppose that the coffee cools at a rate of 5 de

bezimeni [28]

Answer: k = - 6.6667

Step-by-step explanation:

this is quite very simple to begin. I would encourage you take other practice questions similar to help with understanding it.

let us begin.

Given that ;

dT/dt = k ( Tm - T) where Tm is the temp of the medium

dT/dt = 5 degrees Celsius per minute when T = 70

so we have that, 5 = k ( 25 - 70)

remember to convert 5 degree celsius per minute to seconds

we have that;

5*60(sec) = k ( 25 - 70)

k = 5*60 / ( 25 - 70)

k = - 6.6667

note K is negative because we consider it for cooling process (temp decreasing).

cheers i hope this helps!!!

Which of the following lists is in the correct order from smallest to largest? -13, -19, -21, -24 11, -12, 15, -19 -7, -3, 6, 2

seraphim [82]

Answer:

-24, -21, -19, -19, -19, -14, -13, -12, -7, -3, 2, 5, 6, 11, 11, 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

To put the numbers in least to greatest form, you need to put the biggest numbers with a - sign in front of it

This means negative

Negative means below zero

Then after putting the big negative numbers, you put positive numbers going from smallest to largest

So the numbers in least to greatest is -24, -21, -19, -19, -19, -14, -13, -12, -7, -3, 2, 5, 6, 11, 11, 15
