How does knowing the absolute value of an integer help in determining the distance of two ordered pairs?

1 answer:

6 0

Hey there!

The absolute value helps because when you the absolute value is the the distance of a number away from 0. Meaning that if your finding distance it will never be negative.

Finding the distance between the two is subtracting one of the numbers from each ordered pair from each other. Whether the number is negative or positive, you always turn it, or leave it into a positive number because distance is always positive.

Hope this helps !

Iliana was part of a group that was working on changing 0.4 repeated to a fraction. Each member of the group had a different ans

amm1812

$\bf 0.444444444\overline{4}\impliedby \textit{and keeps on going}\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\textit{let's say }\boxed{x=0.444444444\overline{4}}\quad \textit{ thus }10\cdot x=4.44444444\overline{4}
\\\\\\
\textit{wait a minute! }4.44444444\overline{4}\textit{ is really just }4+0.444444444\overline{4}$

$\bf \textit{but we know }x=0.444444444\overline{4} \textit{ so then }4+0.444444444\overline{4}=\boxed{4+x}
\\\\\\
\textit{wait a second! }10\cdot x\implies 10x=4.444444444\overline{4}=4+x
\\\\\\
thus\qquad 10x=4+x\implies 10x-x=4\implies 9x=4\implies \boxed{x=\cfrac{4}{9}}$

you can check in your calculator.

anyhow, to get the "recurring decimal to fraction", you start by setting to some variable, "x" in this case, then move the repeating part to the left of the point by multiplying it by some power of 10, and then do the equating.

What is the average rate of change of f(x) = -x2 + 3x + 6 over the interval –3

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

$\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x} =\frac{f(x_2)-f(x_1)}{x_2-x_1} =\frac{6-(-12)}{3-(-3)} =\frac{18}{6}= 3$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the average rate of change of a function over a given interval, basically you need to find the slope. The mathematical definition of the slope is very similar to the one we use every day. In mathematics, the slope is the relationship between the vertical and horizontal changes between two points on a surface or a line. In this sense, the slope can be found using the following expression:

$Average\hspace{3}rate\hspace{3}of\hspace{3}change=Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} =\frac{f(x_2)-f(x_1)}{x_2-x_1}$
