Answer: Negative
If the same negative number is multiplied to each side of a true inequality, then the inequality sign flips to make the new inequality true as well
Example:
Take 1 < 5 and multiply both sides by -2 and we get -2 > -10. The "less than" sign flips to "greater than" since -2 < -10 is false. The value of -10 is further to the left of -2 so -10 is smaller in value. The negative basically takes the complete opposite which is why the flip must happen.
This sign flip rule does not happen if you multiply both sides by a positive number.
The answer is below what the dude said
Let's see.
We have function
. We have to determine if the function is even or odd or neither.
We can find this out in many ways but the assignment specifically asks to prove this algebraically.
Function is even if
, so,
Which is true since negative raised to an even power is positive to that same number.
Similarly, function is odd if
, that is,
.
So we have prooved that function
is an even function not an odd function and therefore also not neither.
Hope this helps.
35 - 10 = 25
60 - 25 = 35
She started her research at 6:35.
The correct answer is 14/7. We can find out which fraction is greater by simplifying them.
14/7 Given
2 14 divided by 7 is two
2/4 Given
1/2 Divide the numerator and denominator by 2
Since 2 is greater than 1/2, the correct answer is 14/7.
Thanks!
