Will adding a negative number to another integer always result in a negative sum? Why?

Mathematics

Ghella [55]3 years ago

Answer:

  D  No, the integer with the larger absolute value always determines the sign of the sum.

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the integer you start with is +3. Adding -1 or -2 or -3 to that will result in 2, 1, or 0, none of which are negative. Only when you add a negative number with an absolute value greater than 3 will you get a sum that is negative. That is, <em>the number in the sum that has the largest absolute value determines the sign of the result</em>. (This is most important when the signs differ, but it is also true when the signs are the same.)

Use synthetic division to find the result when 3x^3 + 13x^2 + x – 12 is divided by<br> X + 4.
IgorC [24]

Answer:

3x² + x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The way I like to do it is to get rid of the x's and just use the numbers in the case of synthetic division

Pretend the square root of the division symbol

-4 √ 3 12 1 -12

Quick note: We're dividing by -4 because we're dividing by x + 4

First bring down the 3

-4 √ 3 13 1 -12

      3

Multiply it by 4 then bring add it to the next number

-4 √ 3 13 1 -12

          -12

       3   1

Add that number to the next one

-4 √ 3 13 1 -12

        -12 -4

      3    1   -3

Finally repeat the step for the last number

-4 √ 3 13 1 -12

       3 -12 -4 +12

       3    1   -3   0

Now take those bottom numbers and add back the x's but with one less power, so the starting x³ would now become x², x² would become x, and so on

3x² + 1x - 3

2. Water is leaking from a faucet at a constant rate of 1/3 gallon per minute.
Cloud [144]

Answer:

W = \frac{1}{3}t

20 gallons of water is leaked after an hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Water is leaking at a constant rate of 1/3 gallon per minute.

a) We have to write a linear equation in two variables that show the amount of water, w, in gallons, that is leaked from the faucet after t minutes.

So, the equation is W = \frac{1}{3}t ......... (1) (Answer)

b) Now, if t = 1 hour i.e. 60 minutes, then from equation (1) we can write

W = \frac{1}{3}\times 60 = 20 gallons.

Therefore, 20 gallons of water is leaked after an hour. (Answer)
