Do you compare a negative decimal to a positive decimal?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Anika [276]3 years ago

Answer:

Positive: Decimals are a part of a whole just like fractions are a part of a whole. Therefore, a positive decimal is always greater than a negative decimal.

Negative: When you have two negative decimals, the one closer to zero is always greater. The farther a negative decimal is from zero, the smaller its value.

All of it put together (same text as above):

Decimals are a part of a whole just like fractions are a part of a whole. Therefore, a positive decimal is ALWAYS greater than a negative decimal. When you have two negative decimals, the one closer to zero is always greater. The farther a negative decimal is from zero, the smaller its value.

If A and B are two angles in standard position in Quadrant I, find cos( A + B) for the given function values.
Naddik [55]
You have to find the cos of angle A, so use the Pythagorean equation and trig laws to find the other side of the triangle created by angle A. 3^2 + x^2 = 5^2. x=4. This means cos(A) = 4/5). Make both cos (A) and cos (B) have equal denominators, and add. 148/185 + 60/185 = 208/185. This answer is correct, though it doesn’t appear to be any of the answers you wrote, so either those answers are wrong or you wrote something incorrectly in the problem.

2(5 - 8x) -13 = 9(1 - x) -12 ​
Ugo [173]

2 (5 - 8x) - 13 = 9 (1 - x) - 12

10 - 16x - 13 = 9 - 9x - 12

10 - 13 - 16x = 9 - 12 - 9x

- 3 - 16x = - 3 - 9x

- 3 + 3 = - 9x + 16x

0 = 7x

0/7 = x

0 = x

yawa3891 [41]
Multiply 44580 by .47
that gives you 20952.6 which equals 47% of the water
take the 44580, and subtract the 20952.6
giving you the remainder as your answer
