How do you decide which of the two numbers is greater if one number is positive and one number is negative

Whatever number has more amount, if it was -2 plus 4 it would end up being positive 2 because the four that is positive is bigger so it takes the property of the bigger number.

Step-by-step explanation:

The positive number is always greater because it is bigger than 0. The negative number is always less than 0 which means that it is the smaller of the two numbers.

Now, if you are working with two negative numbers, it would be the smaller negative one because the smaller one would be closer to 0 than the other one.

When working with two positive numbers, it is always the greater number (This one should be pretty simple)

When working with decimals, it is always the smaller decimal because it is closer to 0 than the larger one.

Hope this helps!!!

Find the 100th term in the arithmetic sequence 0,5,10,15

Viktor [21]

Answer:

easy peasy,

the 'n' th term of any arithmetic sequence can be found with the following formula

=> a + ( n-1) d, [where 'a' if the first term of the sequence, 'n' the number of term we need to find, and 'd' being the common difference between each two consecutive term of the sequence)

all in this case would be,

a = 0

n = 100

d = +5

hence the 100th term would be,

=> 0 + (100 - 1) 5

=> 99 x 5

=> 495

Evaluate.

snow_lady [41]

Replace a and b with their given values:

(2(3/5) -1/3) / -6.75/15

2 x 3/5 = 6/5

6/5 - 1/3 = 18/15 - 5/15 = 13/15

13/15 / -6.75/15 = 13/15 x 15/-6.75 = (13 x 15) / (15 x -6.75) = 195/-101.25 = -1 25/27

Answer: -1 and 25/27

Let's call the distance from the beach to the playground x.
Let's call the distance from the stand to the parking lot z.
Let's call the base of the biggest triangle in the picture (from the parking lot to the left) y.

Recall the pythagorean theorem: the sum of the squares of the legs of a right triangle is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

There are three right triangles we can work with.

Triangle with sides 48, x and z. Here z is the hypotenuse so we get the equation $x^{2} + 48^{2} = z^{2}$

Triangle with sides 27, x and y. Here y is the hypotenuse so we get $27^{2} + x^{2} = y^{2}$

Triangle with sides z, y and (48+27). Here (48+27) is the hypotenuse so we get $y^{2} + z^{2} = (27+48)^{2}$ . That is, $y^{2} + z^{2} = 5625$

We have 3 equations and 3 unknowns (x, y and z). So let's take the last equation: $y^{2} + z^{2} = 5625$ and replace $z^{2}$ and $y^{2}$ using expressions that contain an expression in terms of x from the first two equations we came up with.

That gives us: $48^{2} + x^{2} + x^{2} + 27^{2} =5625$ which we solve for x as follows:

$2 x^{2} + 3033 =5625
2x^{2} =2592
 x^{2} =1296
x=36$

Now that we know x we can substitute 36 for x into the equation $48^{2} + x^{2} = z^{2}$ and solve for z as follows:
$48^{2} + 36^{2} = z^{2} 
2304+1296=z^{2} 
3600=z^{2} 
z=60$

This means that the distance from the beach to the parking lot is 36 m and the distance from the stand to the parking lot is 60 m.
