Answer: positive
The absolute value of every nonzero integer is a positive integer.
Examples are
|-2| = 2
|7| = 7
The absolute value represents distance which can never be negative. Negative distance does not make sense.
Answer:
Height: 3/2 inches
Length: 12 inches
Width: 4 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x is the side length of the square
The height of the box by cutting squares off :x
- The new length of the cardboard = 15 -2x (because we cut from 4 corners)
- The new width of the cardboard = 7 -2x (because we cut from 4 corners)
The new volume of it is:
V = (15 -2x) (7 -2x) x
<=> V =
To maximum volume, we use the first derivative of the volume
<=> 
<=> 
<=> 2x -3 = 0 or 6x -35 = 0
<=> x = 3/2 or x = 35/6
To determine which value of x gives a maximum, we evaluate
= 24x -88
= 24(3/2) -88 = -52
= 24(35/6) -88 = 52
We choose x = 3/2 to have the maximum volume because the value of x that gives a negative value is maximum.
So the dimensions (in inches) of the box is:
Height: 3/2 inches
Length: 15-2(3/2) = 12 inches
Width: 7 - 2(3/2) = 4 inches
Answer:
the answer is -31/20
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
3^2 = 9 - 1 = 8
D is the right answer because g is midpoint of ah and e is midpoint of ab and eg is parallel to bh so eg equals half bh
