Evaluate the expression - |7-9|

Mathematics
1 answer:
timama [110]3 years ago
5 0

Answer: -2

Step-by-step explanation: As our first step, we simplify inside the absolute value. 7 - 9 is -2 so we have -|-2|.

A common mistake at this point in the problem is to change the minus a negative to plus a positive but don't fall into this trap.

We must ignore the negative outside the absolute value until our very last step in this problem.

So we take the absolute value of -2 which is 2 and we have -(2) or -2.

Notice that I used parentheses around the 2 as it comes out of the absolute value.

Geometry math question no Guessing and Please show work
MAXImum [283]

If the point P(x, y) partitions the segment AB in the ratio 1 : 1, then the point P is midpoint of segment AB.

The formula of a midpoint of segment:

A(x_A;\ y_A),\ B(x_B,\ y_B)\\\\P_{AB}\left(\dfrac{x_A+x_B}{2};\ \dfrac{y_A+y_B}{2}\right)

We have:

A(13,\ 1)\to x_A=13,\ y_A=1\\B(-5,\ -3)\to x_B=-5,\ y_B-3\\\\P\left(\dfrac{13+(-5)}{2};\ \dfrac{1+(-3)}{2}\right)\to P\left(\dfrac{8}{2};\ \dfrac{-2}{2}\right)\to P(4,\ -1)

Answer: C. (4, -1)

Name a pair of corresponding angles
Gnoma [55]
<h3>Corresponding angles = angle 1 and angle 5</h3>

They are on the same side of the transversal cut (both to the left of the transversal) and they are both above the two black lines. It might help to make those two black lines to be parallel, though this is optional.

Other pairs of corresponding angles could be:

  • angle 2 and angle 6
  • angle 3 and angle 7
  • angle 4 and angle 8

=======================================================

<h3>Alternate interior angles = angle 3 and angle 5</h3>

They are between the black lines, so they are interior angles. They are on alternate sides of the blue transversal, making them alternate interior angles.

The other pair of alternate interior angles is angle 4 and angle 6.

=======================================================

<h3>Alternate exterior angles = angle 1 and angle 7</h3>

Similar to alternate interior angles, but now we're outside the black lines. The other pair of alternate exterior angles is angle 2 and angle 8

=======================================================

<h3>Same-side interior angles = angle 3 and angle 6</h3>

The other pair of same-side interior angles is angle 4 and angle 5. They are interior angles, and they are on the same side of the transversal.
