$|a|= \left\{\begin{array}{ccc}a&if&a\geq0\\-a&if&a \ \textless \ 0\end{array}\right\\\\examples\\3\geq 0\to|3|=3\\102\geq0\to|102|=102\\0\geq0\to|0|=0\\-4 \ \textless \ 0\to|-4|=-(-4)=4\\-105 \ \textless \ 0\to|-105|=105$

OK. Let's go to your question:

a) |-100| - 98 = 100 - 98 = 2

b) 5|2 - 8| = 5|-6| = 5 · 6 = 30

A set of 9 numbers has a mean of 20. What additional number must be included in this set to create a new set with a mean that is

PIT_PIT [208]

<em>Greetings from Brasil...</em>

The average for a set of 9 elements will be

(A + B + C + D + E + F + G + H + I) ÷ 9 = 20

Let's make (A + B + C + D + E + F + G + H + I) like S

<em>(I chose S to remember a sum)</em>

Let us think.....

S ÷ 9 = 20

S = 20 × 9

S = 180

So, (A + B + C + D + E + F + G + H + I) = 180

According to the statement, we will include a number (element J) in the sum to obtain a mean of (20 - 4), that is:

as seen above, (A + B + C + D + E + F + G + H + I) = 180, then

(180 + J) ÷ 10 = 16

(180 + J) = 160

J = 160 - 180

So, including the number - 20 <em>(minus 20)</em> in the original mean we will obtain a new mean whose result will be 16

George is solving the equation below by finding successive approximations. He started from a graph where he found the solution t

skelet666 [1.2K]

The mistake made by George is; D:George should have averaged the two differences instead of the two bounds.

<h3>How to Solve Successive Approximations?</h3>

In Mathematics, successive approximation can be defined as a classical method that is used in Calculus for solving integral equations or initial value problems.

In this question, George started the first iteration of successive approximation by using the lower and upper bounds of the graph. However, we can deduce that George made a mistake instep 5 because he should have used x = 3/2 as the new upper bound.

Leah claims that these figures are not similar. When she compared the heights, she wrote 27. Then she compared the bases and got

Flauer [41]

Answer:

<h2>Leah is actually wrong, because those rectangles are similar.</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that similarity is about having proportional sides and congruent angles. When we have congruent sides, then those rectangles are congruent not similar.

In this case, to find the similarity, Leah should compare bases and heights thorugh division, because the ratio between heights and the ratio between bases must be equal. So, let's divide.

$\frac{21}{6}=3.5$

$\frac{7}{2}=3.5$

As you can observe, both ratios are equal.

Therefore, those rectangles are congruent.

Determine the number of outcomes in the event. Decide whether the event is a simple event or not. A computer is used to select r

Oliga [24]

The probability of selecting a number greater than 8 will be $p=\dfrac{1}{9}$ .

<h3>What is probability?</h3>

Probability is defined as the ratio of the number of favourable outcomes to the total number of outcomes in other words the probability is the number that shows the happening of the event.

The number of outcomes = { 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 } = Counts = 9

Favourable outcomes = { 9 } = counts = 1

The probability will be given as:-

$P = \dfrac{1}{9}$

Therefore the probability of selecting a number greater than 8 will be $p=\dfrac{1}{9}$ .
