A star is written to show multiplication. It is a replacement for a dot or a x which is what you probably learned to be the "times" sign. In upper level maths, the "x" is replaced with a " * " to make it more legible and to avoid confusion with the variable "x".
Answer:
4 and 4
Step-by-step explanation:
Method A
1) Method A: Let 2 be the starting point and -2, the finishing one. Counting between 2 and -2, we can count a distance of 4 units. That's the simplest way, but not convenient to great numbers on the Number Line.
Method B:
There is no such thing as a negative distance, as a physical quantity. So this is the reason why we need to compute the absolute value of two numbers, which is simply what was done on Method B.
|2-(-2)|=|4|=4
As we are dealing with absolute values, the order is not relevant after all, the result remains the same. Take a look:
|-2-2|=|-4|=4
That's why the greater (2) or the lesser number (-2) can be the subtrahend (in bold within the brackets.
Answer:
B. Alex smokes a pack of cigarettes per day even though he knows that he may face poor health down the road because of his smoking habit.
Step-by-step explanation:
Time preference means that the person would like to have temporary but instant satisfaction. In this case, B would be the best choice, for Alex wants to experience the "high" (I guess?) from smoking, even when he knew that there would be health consequences down the road.
In this case, it is not:
A, for Thomas is not going to receive his reward (a profit from the investment) until later on. The money he invest is still "there", but it is technically gone into investment.
C, because this is assuming that retirement is a long way off, and that this would be a long-term investment, rather than a short term.
D, this is a long-term investment, as Sarah "hopes" that she can earn it all back in the future. With what she learns, she, in the long run, wants to find a sustainable & high-paying job.
