Answer:

-15

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Definition of absolute value: </u>

<em>Distance from zero on a number line. </em>

<em />

Imagine a number line with 0 in the middle of it. Now mark the number 3 on it. Also mark the <em>opposite </em>of 3, which is -3. What is the <u>distance</u> 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 <em><u>simplifies</u></em> 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!!!!!!!

The corresponding line segment is B. because the slope does not change. A dilation will always have the effect of shrinking or even stretching the line segment by the factor of n. That is why the length will nx and the slope is m.

Dina planted a six-foot tree in her backyard which she expects to grow at the rate of 4 feet per year. Find the equation of the
Scrat [10]

Answer:

y = 6 + 4x

After 4 years, the tree would be 22 ft tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Let x = the number of years that pass

Let y = the height of the tree (ft)

We're given that the 6-foot tree grows at a rate of 4 ft per year. This means that the height of the tree will be equal to 6 ft, the original height, plus another 4 ft every year that passes.

Height of tree = 6 feet + 4 feet × number of years that pass

y = 6 + 4x

To solve for how tall the tree would be 4 years after Dina plants it, replace x with 4, since 4 years have passed:

y = 6 + 4(4)

y = 6 + 16

y = 22

Therefore, the tree would be 22 ft tall.

I hope this helps!

Xelga [282]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Complete Question:

Chapter 6, Section 1-D, Exercise 009 Is a Normal Distribution Appropriate? In each case below, is the sample size large enough so that the sample proportions follow a normal distribution?

a) n=600 p=0.2

b) n=20, p=0.4

if np=10 and npq=10 then  the data follows normal distribution

a) np= 120,

q= 1-0.2= 0.8

npq= 600 ×0.2×0.4 = 48

Normal distribution is appropriate and sample size is large enough

b) np= 8

q= 1-0.4= 0.6

npq= 20 × 0.4×0.6= 4.8

sample size is not large enough so normal distribution is not appropriate.
