Question

Type the correct answer in each box. Use numerals instead of words. For this question, any answer that is not a whole number should be entered as a fraction in simplest form, using / as the fraction bar, or as a decimal number rounded to the hundredths place. The point P has a value of and is represented with a point on the top number line. The point R has a value of and is represented with a point on the bottom number line. If the value of point P is and |Q| is , then the greatest value of P + Q is , and the least value of P + Q is . If the value of point R is and |S| is 2, then the greatest value of R + S is , and the least value of R + S is . Reset Submit

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are not given the value of P, |Q|, R and S, we can as well assume values for them for the sake of this question.

Let P = 5, |Q| = 6, R =7 |S| = 2

Note that since Q and S are in modulus sign, they can return both positive and negative values.

P+Q = 5 + 6 (note that the positive value of Q is used since we need the greatest value of P+Q)

P+Q = 11

Hence the greatest value of P+Q is 11

For the least value of P+Q, we will use the negative value of Q as shown

P+Q = 5+(-6)

P+Q = 5-6

P+Q = -1

Hence the least value of P+Q is -1

Similarly:

R+S = 7 + 2 (note that the positive value of S is used since we need the greatest value of R+S)

R+S = 9

Hence the greatest value of R+S is 9

For the least value of R+S, we will use the negative value of S as shown

R+S = 5+(-2)

R+S = 5-3

R+S = 2

Hence the least value of P+Q is 2

NOTE THAT THIS ARE ASSUMED VALUES. ALL YOU NEED IS TO PLUG IN THE VALUES OF P, Q and R THAT YOU HAVE IN CASE THE VALUES DIFFERS.
