Allen's work is not written properly so I have rearranged it as shown below:
Original problem) –8.3 + 9.2 – 4.4 + 3.7.
Step 1) −8.3 + 9.2 + 4.4 + 3.7 Additive inverse
Step 2) −8.3 + 4.4 + 9.2 + 3.7 Commutative property
Step 3) −8.3 + (4.4 + 9.2 + 3.7) Associative property
Step 4) −8.3 + 17.3
We can see that in step 1), Allen changed -4.4 into +4.4 using additive inverse. Notice that we are simplifying not eliminating -4.4 as we do in solving some equation. Hence using additive inverse is the wrong step.
Alen should have collect negative numbers together and positive numbers together.
Add the respective numbers then proceed to get the answer.
–8.3 + 9.2 – 4.4 + 3.7
= –8.3 – 4.4 + 9.2 + 3.7
= -12.7 + 12.9
= 0.2
I think you might be referring to the definite integral,
Recall the definition of absolute value:
Then 
if 
, and 
is 
. So spliting up the integral at <em>x</em> = 1, we have
The rest is simple:
The expected assembly time is the middle of the range of the uniform distribution, 8 minutes.
Answer:
-3
Step-by-step explanation:
If you were to graph that function, you would find it looks like the attached image. The y-intercept is -3.
It sucks that points have to be used in order to post questions.
Openstudy - the company that merged into Brainly - was much better.
Anyway, I think that the answer to this question is A. I'm not sure, though.
