in class, matthew stated "i think that a negative is like an opposite. That is why multiplying a negative times a negative equal

s a positive. The opposite of negative is positive, so it is just like multiplying the opposite of a negative twice, which is two positives." Do you agree or disagree with this statement? What would you say in response to him?

Yes and no. A negative number and it's opposite are 'integers.' Yes, a negative and a negative multiplied together give you a positive. The two negative signs cancel out making it positive. But no, a positive and a positive multiplied together do not give you a negative. When you subtract positive numbers you can get a negative, but not when multiplying. If you were to do a positive times a negative it would be negative because the positive can't cancel it out. Example: -3 · -3 = 9. [] 3 · 3 = 9. [] -3 · 3 = -9. Other than the positive number part, the statement is true about the negatives. I hope that helped!

Answer: Yes, I agree with this statement.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Yes, I agree with this statement.</u>

Whenever we multiply two negative numbers, we get a positive number.

As two negatives makes a positive.

Negative is just like an opposite.

Opposite of 4 is -4.

and negative of 4 is also -4.

The opposite of negative is positive.

i.e. opposite of -4 is 4.

So, Negative is always treat as opposite.

A pedestrian bridge is 53 meters long. Due to changes in temperature, the bridge may expand or contract by as much as 21 millime
Katena32 [7]

Length of bridge = 53 meters

Length changes expected due to changes in temperature = expansion or contraction by 21 millimeters (or 0.021 meters)

Let length of bridge at any given time be 'a'

As an absolute value equation, the situation can be expressed as:

⇒ |a-53| < 0.021

Solving the equation

⇒ -0.021 < a-53 < 0.021

⇒ 53 - 0.021 < a < 53 + 0.021

⇒ 52.979 < a < 53.021

Hence, the minimum length of the bridge can be 52.979 meters and the maximum length of the bridge can be 53.021 meters.

Convert from rectangular to polar coordinates:Note: Choose r and θ such that r is non-negative and 0 ≤ θ &lt; 2πa. (6,0)b. (9,9/
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

The polar coordinates are as follow:

a. (6,2π)

b. (18, π/3)

c. (2√2 , 3π/4)

d. (2, 5π /6)

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert the rectangular coordinates into polar coordinates, we need to calculate r, θ .

To calculate r, we use Pythagorean theorem:

r = \sqrt{ x^{2} +y^{2} } ---- (1)

To calculate the θ, first we will find out the θ '  using the inverse of cosine as it is easy to calculate.

So,    θ '  = cos ⁻¹  (x/r)

If  y  ≥  0  then  θ  =  ∅

If  y  <  0  then  θ  =  2 π  −  ∅

For a. (6,0)

Sol:

Using the formula in equation (1). we get the value of r as:

r = \sqrt{6^{2} + 0^{2}  }

r = 6

And ∅  = cos ⁻¹  (x/r)

∅ = cos ⁻¹  (6/6)

∅  =cos ⁻¹   (1) = 2π

As If  y  ≥  0  then  θ  =  ∅

So ∅ = 2π

The polar coordinates are (6,2π)

For a. (9,9/\sqrt{3})

Sol:

r = 9 + 3(3) = 18

and ∅  = cos ⁻¹  (x/r)

∅ = cos ⁻¹  (9/18)

∅ = cos ⁻¹   (1/2) = π/3

As  If  y  ≥  0  then  θ  =  ∅

then θ  = π/3

The polar coordinates are (18, π/3)

For (-2,2)

Sol:

r =√( (-2)²+(2)² )

r = 2 √2

and ∅  = cos ⁻¹  (x/r)

∅ = cos ⁻¹  (-2/ 2 √2)

∅ = 3π/4

As  If  y  ≥  0  then  θ  =  ∅

then   θ  = 3π/4

The polar coordinates are (2√2 , 3π/4)

For (-√3, 1)

Sol:

r = √ ((-√3)² + 1²)

r = 2

and ∅  = cos ⁻¹  (x/r)

∅  = cos ⁻¹ ( -√3/2)

∅  = 5π /6

As  If  y  ≥  0  then  θ  =  ∅

So  θ  = 5π /6

The polar coordinates are (2, 5π /6)

According to a bridal magazine, the average cost of a wedding reception for an American wedding is $8213. Assume that this avera
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

a. The point estimate of the corresponding population mean is of $8213.

b. The margin of error is of $103.

c. The 98% confidence interval for the corresponding population mean is between $7973.5 and $8452.5, which means that for all weedings, we are 98% sure that the true population mean is in this interval.

Step-by-step explanation:

Central Limit Theorem

The Central Limit Theorem estabilishes that, for a normally distributed random variable X, with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the sampling distribution of the sample means with size n can be approximated to a normal distribution with mean \mu and standard deviation s = \frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}.

For a skewed variable, the Central Limit Theorem can also be applied, as long as n is at least 30.

a. What is the point estimate of the corresponding population mean?

The sample mean is of $8213. So, by the Central Limit Theorem, the point estimate of the corresponding population mean is of $8213.

b. What is the margin of error for this estimate (use2 standard deviations (divided by Vn) to either side of the mean is used when no specific confidence level is stated).

Sample of 450, standard deviation of $2185. So

M = \frac{2185}{\sqrt{450}} = 103

The margin of error is of $103.

c. Create and interpret a 98% confidence interval for the corresponding population mean.

The confidence interval is given by:

\mu \pm M*z

In which \mu is the sample mean and z is the value related to the confidence level.

98% confidence level

So \alpha = 0.02, z is the value of Z that has a pvalue of 1 - \frac{0.02}{2} = 0.99, so Z = 2.325.

Then

\mu - M*z = 8213 - 2.325*103 = 7973.5

\mu + M*z = 8213 + 2.325*103 = 8452.5

The 98% confidence interval for the corresponding population mean is between $7973.5 and $8452.5, which means that for all weedings, we are 98% sure that the true population mean is in this interval.
