Hello from MrBillDoesMath!

Answer:

Sometimes!

Discussion:

Consider these examples:

abs(3) = 3 ( so abs(x) = x for this value of x)

abs(-3) = 3 ( so abs(x) <> x for this value of x)

In general,

if x >= 0, then abs(x) = x

if x < 0, then abs(x) = -x

Thank you,

MrB

Answer:

sometimes

Step-by-step explanation:

|x| =x

We can look at 3 case, when x>0, x=0, and when x<0

If x>0

|3| =3

3 = 3

True

x=0

|0| =0

0 = 0

True

x<0

|-3| =-3

3 = -3

False

Draw a figure with the given perimeter. 6 units

erica [24]

We have to draw a figure with a perimeter 6 units. If we want to draw a rectangle it can`t be a 3 by 2 because it has a perimeter 2*2 + 2*3 = 4 + 6 = 10 units. It must be a 2 by 1 rectangle ( 2*2 + 2*1 = 4 + 2 = 6 units ).

What is the product of 3 2/3 + 14 2/5?

Volgvan

So we wan't to know what is the sum of 3 2/3 and 14 2/5. First lets turn them into fractions: first one is 11/3 and the second is 72/5. Now lets add them: We multiply fractions this way: (a/b)+(c/d)={(a*d)+(c*b)}/(b*d). Following this rule: {(11*5)+(72*3)}/(3*5)={55+146}/15=201/15. and finally lets turn it back into a mixed number: 13 6/15

Which of the following relations is a function?

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

a{(1, 3), (2, 3), (4,3), (9,3)}

Step-by-step explanation:

For the relation to be a function, each x can only go to 1 y

a{(1, 3), (2, 3), (4,3), (9,3)}

function

b{(1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), (1,5)}

x=1 goes to 4 different y's so not a function

c{(5, 4), (-6, 5), (4, 5), (4, 0)}

x=4 goes to 2 different y's so not a function

d{(6,-1), (1,4), (2, 3), (6, 1)}

x = 6 goes to 2 different y's so not a function

yan [13]

Answer and Step-by-step explanation: Standard Deviation is the measure of how diferent a number is from the mean of the data set. It is the spread of a data set. To calculate it manually:

1) Find the mean of the data set. Mean, represented by μ, is the sum of all the values divided by the total number of elements forming the set;

2) Subtract each number with the Mean and square the result;

3) Add the differences and divide it by the total number of elements of the set;

4) Take the square root of the result and that is the Standard Deviation.

The calculations can be done by a calculator like Excel:

1) In each cell of a same column, write the data you want to know the deviation.

2) On the last cell, write: =stdev.p(A1:A10) or =stdev.s(A1:A10).

3) Press Enter. The deviation will appeared on the same cell.

The function STDEV.P is used when the data represents the entire population, whereas STDEV.S is used when the data is for a sample of the population. Inside the parenthesis, put the cells where your data is. For example, if you put your data in the column A, from cell 1 to cell 10, you write like it's written above.
