How do you identify the opposite and the absolute value of a rational number

Mathematics
1 answer:
Sergeeva-Olga [200]4 years ago
8 0

Rational numbers are the numbers that can be written as the fraction of two integers and absolute value is the distance a number is away from 0. If we look at a number line, the absolute value is the distance any number on the number line is away from 0. Distance is always positive, so our absolute value is always 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Probability of Independent Events</u>

Given the probability of success of each detector is 0.84 independently of the others, their combined success/failure probability can be computed with the product rule.

We can calculate the required probability by using the binomial distribution, but it's easier to calculate the probability of the negated event an subtract from 1.

We want to know the probability that a least one of the 4 systems detects the occurrence of theft. That probability is the sum of the probabilities that one of them, two of them, three of them or all of them succeed. The negated event is that NONE of them actually detects the theft. Being p the individual probability of success, p=0.84. Being q the probability of failure, q=0.16.

The probability that none of the systems detect the theft is

P(0)=q^4=0.16^4=0.00065536

Thus, the probability that at least one of the systems detect the theft is

P(x\geq1)=1-P(0)=1-0.00065536=0.9993

That means a 99.93%

Identify the level of measurement: the number of rooms in a single-family house.
Firlakuza [10]
<span>The level of measurement of the number of rooms in a single-family house is ratio scale.

A ratio scale </span><span>has measurements where the difference between values is meaningful. In other words, the differences between points on the scale are measurable and exactly equal. For example, the difference between 2 rooms and 4 rooms in a single family house is 2 rooms and is equal to the distance between 3 rooms and 5 rooms.

Also</span> the ratio scale has <span>has a meaningful zero. The zero in a ratio scale means that something doesn’t exist. For example, there are 0 rooms in a single family house means that there is no room in the house.</span>

Simplify the expression by factoring, showing the steps in your work.
alexdok [17]

Given:

$\frac{12 x^{2}+31 x+7}{16 x^{2}+8 x+1}

To find:

The simplified expression by factoring.

Solution:

Let us factor the numerator:

12 x^{2}+31 x+7

31x can be written as 3x + 28x.

    =\left(12 x^{2}+3 x\right)+(28 x+7)

Take 3x common in 1st two terms and 7 common in next two terms.

    =3 x(4 x+1)+7(4 x+1)

Make sure the remaining terms in the both brackets must be same.

Now, take out common factor (4x + 1).

    =(4 x+1)(3 x+7)

In the same way, factorize the denominator:

16 x^{2}+8 x+1

8x can be written as 4x + 4x.

     =(16 x^{2}+4 x)+(4x+1)

Take 4x common in 1st two terms and 1 common in next two terms.

     =4x(4 x+1)+1(4x+1)

Make sure the remaining terms in the both brackets must be same.

Now, take out common factor (4x + 1).

     =(4x+1)(4x+1)

Substitute the terms we found for numerator and denominator:

$\frac{12 x^{2}+31 x+7}{16 x^{2}+8 x+1}=\frac{(4 x+1)(3 x+7)}{(4 x+1)(4 x+1)}

Cancel the common factors.

                        $=\frac{3 x+7}{4 x+1}

The simplified expression is \frac{3 x+7}{4 x+1}.
