Step-by-step explanation:

Using absolute value to tell wether the sum of two integers is positive or negative.

Suppose we have a positive integer,

x and a negative interger, -x and we want to find their sum, we take the absolute values of each of the integers, that is |x| and |-x|. Then we subtract these values: |x| - |-x|. If the larger integer is positive, the result of the difference is positive, but if the larger number is negative, the result of the difference is negative.

For any integer x, x + (-x) = 0

Given the geometric sequence where a1 = 3 and r = √2 find a9

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

$a_9=48$

Step-by-step explanation:

we are given

sequence is geometric

so, we can use nth term formula

$a_n=a_1(r)^{n-1}$

we have

$a_1=3$

$r=\sqrt{2}$

we have to find a9

so, we can plug n=9

we get

$a_9=3(\sqrt{2})^{9-1}$

$a_9=2^4\cdot \:3$

$a_9=48$

If Triangle ABC is similar to triangle DEF, then ∠A is congruent to ∠D, ∠B is congruent to ∠E, and ∠C is congruent to ∠F.

If ∠E = 40°, then ∠B = 40°.

There are 180° in a triangle. If ∠A = 35° and ∠B = 40°, then ∠C = 180° - 35° - 40°.

180 - 35 - 40 = 105°
m∠C = 105°
