Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value always returns a positive value, that is

| - a | = | a | = a , thus

| 5 - 15 | = | - 10 | = 10

It's pretty simple! The answer is 10! Because the absolute value of a number is never negative.

(Mark me as the brainliest if my answer is helpful!)

The moon is a sphere with radius of 959 km. Determine an equation for the ellipse if the distance of the satellite from the surf

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

Answer:

$\frac{x^2}{1316^2}+\frac{y^2}{1669^2}=1$

Step-by-step explanation:

An ellipse is the locus of a point such that its distances from two fixed points, called foci, have a sum that is equal to a positive constant.

The equation of an ellipse with a center at the origin and the x axis as the minor axis is given by:

$\frac{x^2}{b^2}+\frac{y^2}{a^2} =1 \\\\where\ a>b$

Since the distance of the satellite from the surface of the moon varies from 357 km to 710 km, hence:

b = 357 km + 959 km = 1316 km

a = 710 km + 959 km = 1669 km

Therefore the equation of the ellipse is:

$\frac{x^2}{1316^2}+\frac{y^2}{1669^2}=1$

Solve y-12/25=3 1/5. What number is y? A. 3 1/5 B. 3 17/25 C. 3 7/25 D. 4 17/25

kicyunya [14]

Answer:

Option c) y= $3\frac{17}{25}$ is correct

The value of y is 3 $\frac{17}{25}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is

$y-\frac{12}{25}=3\frac{1}{5}$

To solve the given equation for y

$y-\frac{12}{25}=3\frac{1}{5}$

$y-\frac{12}{25}=\frac{16}{5}$ (converting mixed fraction to normal fraction )

$y-\frac{16}{5}=\frac{12}{25}$

$y-\frac{(16\times 5)+12}{25}$ (taking LCM 25 )

$=\frac{80+12}{25}$ (adding the terms )

$y=\frac{92}{25}$ (now convert fraction into mixed fraction )

Therefore y= $3\frac{17}{25}$

Option c) y= $3\frac{17}{25}$ is correct

The value of y is 3 $\frac{17}{25}$
