Bag A : 3 white, 2 red....total of 5
Bag B : 6 white, 3 red....total of 9
P(both picks are white) = 3/5 * 6/9 = 18/45 reduces to 2/5 <==
Given:
To find:
The sum of m and n.
Solution:
We have,
The sum of m and n is:
Combining the like terms, we get
Therefore, the sum of m and n is .
Answer:
450 feet at ground level
Step-by-step explanation:
The width of the bridge at ground level will be where the function intercepts the x-axis also known as the roots or zeros of the function. They are found using the zero product property to set each factor equal to 0.
This means (x-225) = 0 and (x + 225) = 0. So x = -225, 225.
This means the width is the absolute value of |-225| + 225 since distance cannot be negative. This makes it 450 feet.
Absolute Value
Absolute Value
means ...
... only how far a number is from zero:
<span>
<span><span>
</span>
<span>
<span>
"6" is 6 away from zero,
and "−6" is also 6 away from zero.
So the absolute value of 6 is 6,
and the absolute value of −6 is also 6 </span>
</span>
</span></span>
More Examples:
<span><span>The absolute value of −9 is 9</span><span>The absolute value of 3 is 3</span><span>The absolute value of 0 is 0</span><span>The absolute value of −156 is 156</span></span>
No Negatives!
So in practice "absolute value" means to remove any negative
sign in front of a number, and to think of all numbers as positive (or
zero).
Absolute Value Symbol
To show that we want the absolute value of something, we put
"|" marks either side (they are called "bars" and are found on the right
side of a keyboard), like these examples:
<span>
<span><span>
|−5| = 5
|7| = 7
</span>
</span></span>
Sometimes absolute value is also written as "abs()", so abs(−1) = 1 is the same as <span>|−1| = 1</span>
