Answer:

-15

Step-by-step explanation:

Definition of absolute value:

Distance from zero on a number line.

Imagine a number line with 0 in the middle of it. Now mark the number 3 on it. Also mark the opposite of 3, which is -3. What is the distance from zero to those 2 points? it's 3.

This is exactly like saying |3| = 3 and |-3| = 3

Even if the number inside absolute value is negative, it simplifies to the positive of the same number.

_______________________________

So let's talk about your problem.

-|-15|

> the absolute value simplifies to 15

-|-15| = - 15

So that ends up being your answer.

$-15$

Hope this helps!!!!!!!

Polygon Y is a scaled copy of Polygon X using a scale factor of \dfrac13 3 1 start fraction, 1, divided by, 3, end fraction. P

emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

Polygon Y's area is one ninth (1/9) of Polygon X's area

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its areas is equal to the scale factor squared

In this problem

Let

z-----> the scale factor

a-----> Polygon Y's area

b----> Polygon X's area

$z^{2}=\frac{a}{b}$

we have

$z=\frac{1}{3}$

substitute

$(\frac{1}{3})^{2}=\frac{a}{b}$

$\frac{1}{9}=\frac{a}{b}$

$a=\frac{1}{9}b$

therefore

Polygon Y's area is one ninth (1/9) of Polygon X's area

Answer:

SAA

Step-by-step explanation:

we know two pairs of congruent angles and one pair of congruent sides

the order depends on if the side or angle is between the two sides or angles or if it is outside them

in this case the side is outside of the two angles so its SAA

The number of defective components produced by a certain process in one day has a Poisson distribution with a mean of 20. Each d

liberstina [14]

Answer: 0.0516

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The number of defective components produced by a certain process in one day has a Poisson distribution with a mean of $\lambda=20$ .

The probability mass function for Poisson distribution:- $P(X=x)=\dfrac{e^{-\lambda}\lambda^x}{x!}$

For x= 15 and $\lambda=20$ , we have

$P(X=x)=\dfrac{e^{-20}(20)^{15}}{15!}=0.0516488535318\approx0.0516$

Hence, the probability that exactly 15 defective components are produced in a particular day = 0.0516

13) -4= -b -1/3b and -23/3= 1/2a + 5/3a

Sergeeva-Olga [200]

-4=-1b-(1/3)b

-4=-(4/3)b

-4/-(4/3)=b

b=3

-------------------------------

(1/2)3+(5/3)2

3/6+10/6=13/6

-23/3=13/6a

(-23/3)/(13/6)=a

a=-46/13
