Answer:
It's a function that associates a real number x with a positive real number using the flowing definition: If the number is not negative (so either positive or 0) the absolute value is x. If x is negative, the absolute value is -x.
This means that to find the absolute value of x you must first determine if x is negative or not, and if it is, multiply it by -1. If it isn't, leave it as it is.
Since the absolute value is a function (of a given number), you can't just plot that number in the number line but the function (so in this case absolute value must be taken first.
The absolute value of x is never negative, so given the absolute value of x we can't determinate if x was positive or negative (if x =/ 0) before the absolute value was taken.
Answer:
1/27
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 9 numbers between 0 and 8. 3 of them are less than 3 (0, 1, and 2), and 1 of them is 6.
The probability is therefore (3/9) (1/9) = 1/27.
Step-by-step explanation:
2/3p+3
where p=3/5
substitute p into 2/3p + 3
2/3(3/5) + 3
2/(9/5) + 3
10/9 + 3
10+3)/9
13/9
1 4/9
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Remark
The rate is going to be the same as the distance travelled in 1 hour. The units will be different.
Formula
d = r * t
Givens
d = 558 miles
t = 3 hours
Problem A
r = d / t
r = 558/ 3 = 186 miles / hr
Problem B
Givens
r = 186 miles / hour
t = 1 hour
d = ?
Solution
d = 186 mi/hr * 1 hr
d = 186 miles
<u>Note</u>
This looks really trivial, but it's not. You have to learn to see the difference between a number and its units. It's not very often that the numbers will be the same, but if the units differ, then it is an entirely different question.
290 divided by 10(value of a dime)= 29
answer is 29 dimes
