Help! What is |-3|+|3| ?

1 answer:

6 0

$|a|= \left\{\begin{array}{ccc}a&for\ a\geq0\\-a&for\ a \ \textless \ 0\end{array}\right\\\\Examples:\\|2|=2\ because\ 2\geq0\\|0|=0\ because\ 0\geq0\\|-5|=-(-5)=5\ because\ -5 \ \textless \ 0\\|-100|=-100\ because\ -100 \ \textless \ 0$

|-3| + |3| = 3 + 3 = 6

This problem is better understood with a given figure. Assuming that the flight is in a perfect northwest direction such that the angle is 45°, therefore I believe I have the correct figure to simulate the situation (see attached).

Now we are asked to find for the value of the hypotenuse (flight speed) given the angle and the side opposite to the angle. In this case, we use the sin function:

sin θ = opposite side / hypotenuse

sin 45 = 68 miles per hr / flight

flight = 68 miles per hr / sin 45

<span>flight = 96.17 miles per hr</span>

Anarel [89]

Answer:

P(≥1 working) = 0.9936
She raises her odds of completing the exam without failure by a factor of 13.5, from 11.5 : 1 to 155.25 : 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Assuming the failure is in the calculator, not the operator, and the failures are independent, the probability of finishing with at least one working calculator is the complement of the probability that both will fail. That is ...

... P(≥1 working) = 1 - P(both fail) = 1 - P(fail)² = 1 - (1 - 0.92)² = 0.9936

2. The odds in favor of finishing an exam starting with only one calculator are 0.92 : 0.08 = 11.5 : 1.

If two calculators are brought to the exam, the odds in favor of at least one working calculator are 0.9936 : 0.0064 = 155.25 : 1.

This odds ratio is 155.25/11.5 = 13.5 times as good as the odds with only one calculator.

My assessment is that there is significant gain from bringing a backup. (Personally, I might investigate why the probability of failure is so high. I have not had such bad luck with calculators, which makes me wonder if operator error is involved.)
