Answer:

-(-45) and -|45|

Step-by-step explanation:

Opposite of a number can also me termed the conjugate of such number. For example, the conjugate (opposite) of a is -a.

Also any value in the modulus sign can either be a negative or positive value. For example |a| can be +a or -a.

According to the question, we are to find the numbers that are equivalent to opposite of -45 i.e which of them are conjugate of -45.

To do this, we are to select the values in the options that will return +45.

Let's look at each option.

For -(-45):

Since the product of two negative sign will give a positive(+), then -(-45) = +45 and hence the value is opposite of -45

For -45:

-45 is a negative value and can never be positive since 45 is not inside a modulus sign. Hence, -45 is not equal to opposite of -45.

For −|−45|, |-45| can only return a positive value since -45 is already in a modulus sign. What the modulus sign will do is convert it to positive value i.e |-45| = 45. Hence -|-45| ≈ -(45) which is not also equivalent to the opposite of-45.

For -|45|:

The value inside modules will return both +45 and -45, hence it can be written as -|45| = -(-45) = +45. This shows that -|45| is also equivalent to the opposite of -45.

A dog chases a squirrel. The dog is originally 200 feet away from the squirrel. The dog's speed is 150 feet per minute. The squi
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

15 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

If you make a table of values for the dog and the squirrel using d = rt, then the rates are easy:  the dog's rate is 150 and the squirrel's is 100.  The t is what we are looking for, so that's our unknown, and the distance is a bit tricky, but let's look at what we know:  the dog is 200 feet behind the squirrel, so when the dog catches up to the squirrel, he has run some distance d plus the 200 feet to catch up.  Since we don't know what d is, we will just call it d!  Now it seems as though we have 2 unknowns which is a problem.  However, if we solve both equations (the one for the dog and the one for the squirrel) for t, we can set them equal to each other.  Here's the dog's equation:

d = rt

d+200 = 150t

And the squirrel's:

d = 100t

If we solve both for t and set them equal to each other we have:

\frac{150}{d+200} =\frac{100}{d}

Now we can cross multiply to solve for d:

150d = 100d + 20,000 and

50d = 20,000

d = 400

But we're not looking for the distance the squirrel traveled before the dog caught it, we are looking for how long it took.  So sub that d value back into one of the equations we have solved for t and do the math:

t=\frac{100}{d}=\frac{100}{400} =\frac{1}{4}

That's 1/4 of a minute which is 15 seconds.

I NEED HELP WITH NUMBER 6 AND 7! I WILL MARK YOU AS BRAINLIEST IF YOU ANSWER CORRECTLY! PLZ AND TY! :D
Shtirlitz [24]

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

6. To know who cycled faster between Sam and Bobby, find the constant of proportionality of both of them. The person with the least value of constant of proportionality is the fastest.

Constant of proportionality for Sam = \frac{distance (y)}{time (x)} = \frac{20}{2} = 10 mph

Constant of proportionality for Bobby:

Use (0, 0) and (2, 18) to find the constant of proportionality, which is:

m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{18 - 0}{2 - 0} = \frac{18}{2} = 9 mph.

Bobby's unit rate/constant of proportionality is smaller than Sam's.

So, Bobby cycled faster.

7. y = 15x is given as representing the amount of Pauli's Pizzeria Pizza.

15 in the equation is the slope/constant of proportionality, which represents the cost of a unit of pizza.

From the graph, the unit rate/constant of proportionality of Leo's Pizzeria Pizza can be calculated as, y/x.

Using (2, 24), we have 24/2 = 12

This means Leo's Pizzeria cost $12 per pizza.

Therefore:

Pauli's Pizzeria takes in $15 per pizza

Leo's Pizzeria takes in $12 per pizza

Pauli's Pizzeria takes in more money per pizza.
