We know:
|a|=  \left\{\begin{array}{ccc}a&if\ a \ \textgreater \  0\\0&if\ a=0\\-a&if\ a \ \textless \  0\end{array}\right\\\\|2|=2\\|0|=0\\|-3|=3

|a+b|+|c|
substitute a = -3; b = 7; c = -15
|-3+7|+|-15|=|4|+15=4+15=19

A particular beach is eroding at a rate of 4 centimeters per year. A realtor converts this rate to millimeters per day. Which
Aloiza [94]

Answer:

\frac{4cm}{1year}*\frac{10mm}{1cm}*\frac{1year}{365days}

Step-by-step explanation:

Whenever we are doing unit conversions, we have to remember to make the first ratio and then each successive ratio should be put <em>in such a way</em> that the top and bottom cancels out with each unit and whatever we want, remains.

A simple example would be if we were to just convert from cm to mm. Suppose we want to convert 5 centimeters to millimeters. We can write the ratios is 2 ways:

First:

5cm*\frac{10mm}{1cm}

Second:

5cm*\frac{1cm}{10mm}

The first one is correct since we want mm, mm should be on top and cm should be on bottom form cm and cm to get canceled.

Now, for our problem, we want mm on top and day on bottom. So, cm and year should cancel. Looking at the first choice, the conversion factors are correct & skimming through, we see that

cm and cm cancels (top and bottom), also year and year cancels (top and bottom), it will leave us with mm on top and days on bottom, <em>which is what we want</em>.

First answer choice is right.

Can someone please help me.

I will give you everything I can do:

11)

Lets say Car A travels at x mph. That means Car B travels at x+2 mph.

Both of them are traveling towards each others, so we can say the total speed is 2x+2.

Now i takes 3 hrs and we know the distance.

Since R*T=D

Then 3(2x+2)=270

So 2x+2=90

2x=88

x=44

12)

To find perpendicular we want to find the opposite reciprocal of the original slope. Therefore the slope is 3/2.

Now we must find the equation of the line with the given variable.

First find b.

5=3/2*4+b

b = -1

So the equation of this line is:

y=3/2x-1

13) All work will be shown below.

6-3(-2-4x)=2(3(x-4)+7)

6+6+12x=2(3x-12+7)

12+12x=2(3x-5)

12+12x=6x-10

6x=-2

x = -1/3

14)

First we must find the amount each train traveled.

The speed of F train(Freight train)=x

The speed of P train(passenger train)=x+6

Their combined speed is 2x+6

It takes 2 hrs to cover 100 miles

So 2(2x+6)=100

2x+6=50

2x=44

x=22

So the freight train covered 44 miles and the passenger train covered 56 miles.

To find average speed you must do Total Distance/Total Time.

44/2 and 56/2

Which are 22 and 28.

The average speed of F train is 22 mph and average speed of P train is 28 mph.

15) Again opposite reciprocal.

3/5 -> -5/3

Work:

-4=-3*-5/3+b

-4=5+b

b=-9

y = -5/3x-9

16)

F=kx-kx0

First kx0 = 0

So F=kx

So x=F/k
