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.

$-15$

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer: There are 8 snake and 3 elephants.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x= Number of snakes

y= Number of elephants

We know that , snake has no legs elephant has 4 legs.

Then, Total animals = x+y=11 (i)

Total legs = 4y = 12

⇒ y=3 .. (ii)[divide both sides by 4]

Substitute value of y from (ii) in (i) , we get

$x+3=11\Rightarrow\ x=8$

Hence, there are 8 snake and 3 elephants.

Population Growth Using 20th-century U.S. census data,

asambeis [7]

The population of Ohio will be 10 million in the year 1970

The population growth of Ohio is represented by the function:

$P(t)=\frac{12.79}{1+2.402e^{-}0.0309t}$

P is the population in millions

t is the number of years since 1900

To find the year that the population of Ohio will be 10 million, substitute P = 10 into the function P(t) and solve for t

$10=\frac{12.79}{1+2.402e^{-}0.0309t}\\\\10(1+2.402e^{-}0.0309t)=12.79\\\\1+2.402e^{-}0.0309t=\frac{12.79}{10} \\\\1+2.402e^{-}0.0309t=1.279\\\\2.402e^{-}0.0309t=1.279-1\\\\2.402e^{-}0.0309t = 0.279\\\\e^{-}0.0309t =\frac{0.279}{2.402} \\\\e^{-}0.0309t =0.116\\\\-0.0309t=ln0.116\\\\-0.0309t=-2.154\\\\t=\frac{-2.154}{-0.0309} \\\\t=69.7$

t = 70 years (to the nearest whole number)

70 years after 1900 will be 1970

Therefore, the population of Ohio will be 10 million in the year 1970

A toy plane moves at a constant speed of 2m/s. How long will it travel a distance of 42 meters?

Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

option A. 21 sec

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed = the distance over the time

Given:

Speed = 2 m/s and distance = 42 m and time = t

So,

2 = 42/t

Solve for t

t = 42/2 = 21 sec.

The answer is option A. 21 sec

If someone understands this please help

katrin [286]

Answer:

A= 4

B= 4

C= -1

D= 4

E= -1

F= 4

G= -1

Step-by-step explanation:

The expected value equation is the probability of something happening multiplied by the amount of times it happens. In this case you have four equal sized sections, so you have a one in four chance to land in any of these sections. A, B, D, and F represent the four for this one in four chance. C, E, and G represent the amount of points you get when you land on those sections, in this case -1
