If x is a rational number and y is the opposite of x, why do x and y have the same absolute value

Mathematics
1 answer:
grin007 [14]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Absolute value is the distance away from zero, so if x is a rational number and y is opposite, they would both be the same distance away from zero, regardless of their sign.  

Step-by-step explanation:

Absolute value is the distance of a number away from zero.  For example, if x is equal to the rational number -2, the absolute value of -2 is just 2, given that both 2 and -2 are only a distance of 2 away from the number zero.  Think of it as your walk or drive to school.  If you live 4 miles from school, you drive a distance of 4 miles there and 4 miles back.  That distance is not calculated as a positive 4 miles there and a negative 4 miles back, but rather just 4 miles there and 4 miles back, for a total distance of 8 miles.  So, if x=4 and y=(-4), the absolute value of both would be 4.

10+25+15=50

25/50

I can be simplified.

The greatest common factor is 25.

25/25=1

50/25=2

So the answer is 1/2.

What is the slope of the line defined by the equation 3x - 4y = 5?
vodomira [7]
First, you have to answer the question in simplest form:
<span>3x - 4y = 5 (Subtraction property of equality) Subtract both sides by -3x.
-4y = -3 +5 (Divide both side by -4.))
</span>y = 3/4x(slope) 4/5 y-intercept.

Instance variables are often called ____ to help distinguish them from other variables you might use. (3 pts.)
zzz [600]

Instance variables are often called "fields" to help distinguish them from other variables you might use.

<h3>What are Instance variables?</h3>

Instance variables are defined within a class but outside of any method, constructor, or block.

Some key points related to Instance variables are-

  • When heap space is allocated to an object, a slot is created for every instance variable value.
  • Whenever an object is created with keyword 'new,' instance variables are created, and they are destroyed whenever the object is destroyed.
  • Instance variables store values that need to be referenced by multiple methods, constructors, or blocks, as well as vital components of an entity's state which must be available throughout the class.
  • Before or after use, instance variables could be declared just at class level.
  • Variables, for example, can be given access modifiers.
  • Only those methods, constructors, and blocks in the class have access to the instance variables.

Find all the real cube roots of each number.<br> -64
Masteriza [31]

Every number has three cube roots.

The only real cube root of -64 is <em>-4</em> .

The other two cube roots of -64 are a pair of complex conjugates.
I'm too lazy to calculate them right now, and you didn't ask for them
anyway.
