So the train is pulling about 50 cars in total, and there's about 30 boxes of freight in each car.
30 x 50 = 1500
The best estimate would be near 1500 boxes of freight through the whole train.
Absolute Value
Absolute Value
means ...
... only how far a number is from zero:
<span>
<span><span>
</span>
<span>
<span>
"6" is 6 away from zero,
and "−6" is also 6 away from zero.
So the absolute value of 6 is 6,
and the absolute value of −6 is also 6 </span>
</span>
</span></span>
More Examples:
<span><span>The absolute value of −9 is 9</span><span>The absolute value of 3 is 3</span><span>The absolute value of 0 is 0</span><span>The absolute value of −156 is 156</span></span>
No Negatives!
So in practice "absolute value" means to remove any negative
sign in front of a number, and to think of all numbers as positive (or
zero).
Absolute Value Symbol
To show that we want the absolute value of something, we put
"|" marks either side (they are called "bars" and are found on the right
side of a keyboard), like these examples:
<span>
<span><span>
|−5| = 5
|7| = 7
</span>
</span></span>
Sometimes absolute value is also written as "abs()", so abs(−1) = 1 is the same as <span>|−1| = 1</span>
Step One - List the factors of 60.
Step Two - Locate the factors that are seven apart from each other.
Factors of 60:
1 × 60
2 × 30
3 × 20
4 × 15
5 × 12
6 × 10
60 - 1 = 59
30 - 2 = 28
20 - 3 = 17
15 - 4 = 11
12 - 5 = 7
10 - 6 = 4
5 is 7 less than 12, and 60 is their least common multiple.
Answer: 5 and 12
The true statements are:
2 - we can tell this by looking at the far right of the graph, as the slope is going downwards, therefore the leading coefficient must be negative
3 - this is a cubic, meaning its degree is 3
6 - by looking at the graph, we can see that there are 3 points where it cuts the x axis, hence 3 real zeros
7 - even multiplicity is where the curve "bounces off" the x axis and does not cross it. This curve have no zeros with even multiplicity
Hope this helped!
