Answer:
Each of these equations solves as 1, because each one of them is an instance of the same expression being divided by itself.
This will <em>always</em> give you a value of 1, as long as the denominator does not end up with a zero value.
Take for instance the third question:
This stands true with all three questions.
HOWEVER
I say this assuming that the 5 following the first brackets in the first question is meant to be an exponent, and not a multiple. Given that the norm is to make any numeric multiples precede the brackets, I assume it is an exponent. and we're good.
It's not using superscript though, which could mean that they want it multiplied by five instead of raised to the power of.
If that's case, we can solve it the same way we solved question 20. If the bases are the same, then when multiplying or dividing the terms, you can simply add or subtract the exponents respectively:
Again, this is probably not the correct answer for question 18, as that 5 is almost guaranteed to be meant as an exponent. If it is instead a coefficient though, then this would be the answer to it.
Answer:
-15
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Definition of absolute value: </u>
<em>Distance from zero on a number line. </em>
<em />
Imagine a number line with 0 in the middle of it. Now mark the number 3 on it. Also mark the <em>opposite </em>of 3, which is -3. What is the <u>distance</u> from zero to those 2 points? it's 3.
This is exactly like saying |3| = 3 and |-3| = 3
Even if the number inside absolute value is negative, it <em><u>simplifies</u></em> to the positive of the same number.
_______________________________
So let's talk about your problem.
-|-15|
> the absolute value simplifies to 15
-|-15| = - 15
So that ends up being your answer.
Hope this helps!!!!!!!
