how do you determine if the answer to a problem is negative or positive in division multiplication addition and subtraction

2 answers:

7 0

In multiplication, a negative times a positive has a negative answer. if both are positive or both are negative, the answer is positive.
5 * -5 = -25
-5* -5 = 25

in divisions say you have
-5/5 = -1
-5/-5= 1
5/-5= -1

in addition and subtraction, subtracting a negative means to add the two numbers. adding a negative means to subtract the second number.

5+ (-5) = 0
5- (-5) = 10

I think the rules the same: n+n=n p+p=p and if its a n+p, the bigger one gets the sign. for example, if its -3+5, it's 2. basically, the negative 3 is another word for subtracting 3 from the 5. so, 3-5=2. another example is if its 3+(-5). this is the trick i made up to do these problems: so, 3-3=0. how much is left from the 5? 2. but its negative, so -2. this took like, 5 minutes to write, so...hope i helped! ;)

Following is a portion of the regression output for an application relating maintenance expense (dollars per month) to usage (ho

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

Explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ANOVA and Regression output for an application relating maintenance expense (dollars per month) to usage (hours per week) for a particular brand of computer terminal is provided.

(A)

The estimated regression equation equation is:

$y=6.1092+0.8931x$

Here,

y = maintenance expense (dollars per month)

x = usage (hours per week) for a particular brand of computer terminal

(B)

Consider the Regression output.

The hypothesis to test whether monthly maintenance expense is related to usage is:

H₀: The monthly maintenance expense is not related to usage, i.e. β = 0.

Hₐ: The monthly maintenance expense is related to usage, i.e. β ≠ 0.

Compute the test statistic as follows:

$t=\frac{b}{S.E._{b}}=\frac{0.8931}{0.149}=5.99$

Compute the p-value as follows:

$p-value=2\times P (t_{8}$

The null hypothesis will be rejected if the p-value is less than the significance level.

p-value = 0.00033 < α = 0.05

Reject the null hypothesis.

(C)

Monthly maintenance expense is related to usage.

(D)

Yes, the estimated regression equation provide a good fit.

Since the regression coefficient is significant it can be concluded that the regression equation estimated is a good fit.

Find what h equals please help ASAP THANK YOU! 4h-1=3h+2

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

H = 3.

FIRST STEP:
Add 1 to both sides to get rid of the -1 on the left side.
4h-1 = 3h+2
4h-1 (+1) = 3h+2 (+1)
4h = 3h+3

SECOND (FINAL) STEP:
Subtract 3h from both sides to get rid of the 3h on the right side.
4h(-3h) = 3h+3 (-3h)
h = 3
Hope this helps, sorry if it's hard to understand :)
