Say there are two integers that are both negative, and you subtract them. would the answer be positive, or remain negative?

It depends upon the numbers...If both are negative numbers, then you change the value of the second number and add them. For example:
(-3) - (-6) = (-3) + 6 = 3.

(-7) - (-4) = (-7) + 4 = -3

So, it depends on the second numbers sign.

I hope this answer helped you :)

Establish for which constants c the following function is a density.

Valentin [98]

By "density" I assume you mean "probability density function". For this to be the case for $f(x)$ , we require

$\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\infty f(x)\,\mathrm dx=1$

Since

$f(x)=\begin{cases}cx^{1/2}&\text{for }0$

you have

$\displaystyle\int_{-\infty}^\infty f(x)\,\mathrm dx=\int_0^2cx^{1/2}\,\mathrm dx=\dfrac{2c}3x^{3/2}\bigg|_{x=0}^{x=2}=\dfrac{2^{5/2}c}3=1$

which means

$c=\dfrac3{2^{5/2}}=\dfrac3{4\sqrt2}$

The quadratic equation 2x^2 + bx + 18 = 0 has a double root. Find all possible values of b.

Doss [256]

When a quadratic equation ax^2+bx+c has a double root, the discriminant,
D=b^2-4ac=0
Here
a=2,
b=b,
c=18
and
D=b^2-4ac=b^2-4*2*18=0
solve for b
b^2-144=0
=> b= &pm; sqrt(144)= &pm; 12

So in order that the given equation has double roots, the possible values of b are &pm; 12.
