ANSER: Yes

EXPLANATION: The is one way for you to make a negative number greater than a positive number and that is by using absolute value. Absolute value is when you take the number and define the absolute value. So -4 would be just 4. In a regular equation -5 < 4 but using absolute value -5 becomes 5. Therefore there is one way for a negative number to be posotive.

ANSWER: No.

Explanation: It is impossible for a negative number to be greater than a positive number. All negatives are behind zero, therefore less than zero, on the number line, while all the positives are ahead of zero, meaning they're greater than zero. In conclusion, a negative number is ALWAYS less than a positive number.

Samuel can do 120 jumping jacks in two minutes.
ki77a [65]

Answers:

What is the ratio?         120:2

What is the unit rate?   60:1

What is the rate?          60 jumping jacks per minute

===================================================

Further Explanation:

To find the ratio of jumping jacks to minutes, you just write the two values 120 and 2 separated by a colon. That's how we get 120:2 as our first answer.

--------

Once we have 120:2, we divide both parts by 2 to get 60:1

120/2 = 60

2/2 = 1

The reason why we do this is so that the "2 minutes" turns into "1 minute". A unit ratio has the time value in unit increments so we can see how many jumping jacks Samuel can do. Writing "60:1" means "60 jumping jacks in 1 minute"

-------

Saying "60 jumping jacks in 1 minute" is the same as saying "60 jumping jacks per minute", which is similar to a car's speed of something like 60 miles per hour. The unit "X per Y" is the template for speed, where X is the number of items you get done and Y is the unit of time. In this case, X = 60 jumping jacks and Y = 1 minute.

Answer:

x^2 + 8x + 16

Step-by-step explanation:

(x + 4) (x+ 4) multiply x by x and x by 4.

x^2 + 4x

Then multiply 4 by x and 4 by 4.

4x + 16

Then combine like terms.

x^2 + 4x + 4x +16

x^2 + 8x + 16

Could someone please help and explain .
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer:

   WXYZ = Ro(180°, (2, -3))(ABCD)

Step-by-step explanation:

A reflection across two perpendicular lines (y=-3, x=2) is equivalent to reflection across their point of intersection. That, in turn, is equivalent to rotation 180° about that point of intersection.

Your double reflection is equivalent to rotation 180° about (2, -3).
