Find a number that is 96 greater than its opposite

1 answer:

6 0

Hey there!

To find the opposite of a number, you switch its sign, and to do so, you would multiply by -1. This gives us the equation below.

n=-n+96

To find our number, we need to isolate all of our n's on one side of the equation. Let's try adding n to both sides.

2n=96

We divide both sides by 2.

n=48

As you can see, the opposite of 48 is -48, and 48 is 96 more than -48.

Therefore, our number is 48.

I hope this helps!

9966 [12]

Answer: There is a strong association between age and weight.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correlation coefficient (r) is used to describe the relationship between two variables.

$-1\leq r\leq1$

If r lies between -1 to -0.5 or 0.5 to 1, then there is strong association between them.

Here, Variables: Age and weight.

correlation coefficient = 0.512

That means, there is a strong association between age and weight.

if alpha and beta are the zeroes of the polynomial f(x) = 6x² + x - 2, find the value of 1/alpha + 1/beta - alphabeta

finlep [7]

Answer:

let alpha be x and beta be y

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y= -b/a

x+y=-1/6

and xy= c/a

xy= -1/3

according to question

1/x+1/y -xy =(x+y)/xy-xy

(-1/6)/(-1/3)-(-1/3)

1/2+1/3

the answer is 5/6
