a) –a + b is negative
b) a – b is positive
c) b-a is negative
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Suppose a and b are real numbers where a > 0 and b < 0.
a. Is –a + b positive or negative. Explain how you know.
We know a > 0 and b < 0. so, let a =6 and b = -5
Putting values:
–a + b
= -(6)+(-5) = -6-5 = -11
So, –a + b is negative
b. Is a – b positive or negative? Explain how you know.
We know a > 0 and b < 0. so, let a =6 and b = -5
Putting values:
a - b
=6-(-5) = 6+5 = 11
So, a – b is positive
c. Is b – a positive or negative. Explain how you know
We know a > 0 and b < 0. so, let a =6 and b = -5
Putting values:
b-a
=(-5)-(6)
= -5-6
= -11
So, b-a is negative

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
0.25 x 0.044 = 0.011
a. Changing 0.25 to 25 moves the decimal 2 places to the right, and changing 0.044 to 44 moves the decimal 3 places to the right, so once we solve 25 x 44, we have to move the decimal a total of 5 places to the left.
25 x 44 = 1100, then move the decimal 5 places to the left to get 0.01100...but we don't add the zeros at the end.
b. multiplying 1/4 times 0.044 = 0.044/4 = 0.011
Hope this helps.
<span>16=4²
25=5²
</span>So that means the square root of 22 is between 4 and 5.
Square 4.5
4.5² = 20.25
<span>4.5 < √22 < 5
So the nearest whole number would be 5.
