Explain what needs to happen to the inequality sign when dividing or multiplying by a negative number

When you multiply or divide by a negative, the sign of the inequality flips. For example we have this inequality:

-3x ≥ 6

We would isolate x by diving by -3

6/-3 = -2

Since we divided by a negative "-3", the sign flips from ≥ to ≤

So it would be x ≤ -2 .

Hope the example helped to understand! :)

The inequality itself needs to turn into a negative. This is because if the number is a positive, and there is only one negative involved in the problem, then the whole thing is a negative. However, when there are two positive numbers or two negative numbers involved, then the in-equation will always come out a positive.

Angle in a semi circle is 90°
<a = 180-90-<b = 90-28 = 62°

opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral sums up to 180°
<b + <a = 180
<b = 180-62
<b = 118°

Someone help me ASAP!!!! I need this ASAP!!!!

So to solve it the equation is a squared plus b squared = c squared. So you square a and b. Then do the square root of that and should get c. C is always the largest side. C is opposite from a 90 degree angle . Hope this helps you answer your question.

Transportation mode

Air transportation means the business of transporting natural persons, property, cargo and mail by aircraft. ... Air transportation means the operation of a transportation system by aircraft for the carriage of persons, property and mail, including activities reasonably necessary to such operation.

Transport on roads can be roughly grouped into the transportation of goods and transportation of people. In many countries licensing requirements and safety regulations ensure a separation of the two industries

3)Rail transportation:Rail transport is a means of transferring passengers and goods on wheeled vehicles running on rails, which are located on tracks. In contrast to road transport, where the vehicles run on a prepared flat surface, rail vehicles are directionally guided by the tracks on which they run.

4)Water transportation:Water transportation is the intentional movement of water over large distances. Methods of transportation fall into three categories: Aqueducts, which include pipelines, canals, tunnels and bridges. ... Towing, where a tugboat is used to pull an iceberg or a large water bag along behind it.
