Mathematics

matrenka [14]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The expression that is greater is a (b - c)

Step-by-step explanation:

  • a < 0 and c > b, this means <u>(by the addition property)</u> that c - c > b - c⇒0 > b - c

so for the product <u>a(b - c) </u>we would have a multiplication of a negative number <em>a</em> and another negative number <em>(b - c)</em>. We know that the result of the <u>multiplication of two negative numbers  is a positive number.</u>

Therefore, a (b - c) > 0

  • a < 0 and c > b, this means <u>by the addition property</u> that c - b > b - b⇒ c - b > 0

so for <u>a(c - b)</u>, we have the negative number <em>a</em> multiplied by the positive number <em>(c - b). </em>We know that the result of the <u>multiplication of a negative number by a positive number is negative. </u>

<u>Therefore  a (c - b) < 0</u>

Thus, the expression that is greater is the positive one which is a (b - c)

The point V(-5, 6) is rotated 180° counterclockwise around the origin. What are the coordinates of the resulting point, V′?
zubka84 [21]

Answer:

V'(5, - 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

V(-5, 6)

For a counterclockwise rotation at 180°about the origin ;

The point (a, b) becomes - - - - > (-a, - b)

Therefore,

If ; V(-5, 6) is rotated 180° counterclockwise about the origin, we have ;

V(-5, 6) - - - - > V'(5, - 6)

Answer:

only work if mice are recaptured in the same location using the same trapping methods.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to my research on studies conducted by Biology Professionals, I can say that based on the information provided within the question this will only work if mice are recaptured in the same location using the same trapping methods. Otherwise another method might cause the capture of other species and make the results invalid.
