when does it make sense to compare the absolute values of numbers rather than the numbers themselves? Please respond

Answer:

When we are considering distance in relation to a fixed point

Step-by-step explanation:

When we consider , the distance of an object relative to a fixed point, it will make sense to compare the absolute values of numbers rather than the numbers themselves.

For instance, the depth of an object below see level is -32.

And also, the height of an object above see level 12.

This time it wouldn't make sense to to compare the numbers themselves to see which is farther from sea level but rather their absolute value.

Find the indicated sum of each sequence S8 of -2,-13,-24,-35
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

The sum of the arithmetic sequence is S_{8}=-324.

Step-by-step explanation:

A sequence is a set of numbers that are in order.

In an arithmetic sequence the difference between one term and the next is a constant.  In other words, we just add the same value each time infinitely.

If the first term of an arithmetic sequence is a_1 and the common difference is d, then the nth term of the sequence is given by:

                                                  a_{n}=a_{1}+(n-1)d

For the sequence

                                                -2,-13,-24,-35,...

The pattern is continued by adding -11 to the last number each time.

An arithmetic series is the sum of an arithmetic sequence.  We find the sum by adding the first, a_1 and last term, a_n, divide by 2 in order to get the mean of the two values and then multiply by the number of values, <em>n</em>

<em>                                                     </em>S_{n}=\frac{n}{2}(a_{1}+a_{n})<em />

The sum of the arithmetic sequence is

a_{8}=-2+(8-1)(-11)=-2-77=-79

S_{8}=\frac{8}{2}(-2-79})=4\left(-2-79\right)=4\left(-81\right)=-324

Using Euclid's division algorithm prove that : 847,2160 are co-primes
AysviL [449]
Definition of eo-primes or relatively primes: Two numbers are said to be co-prime or relatively prime If their HCF IS 1 Hence to prove 847 and 2160 as co-prime numbers we will find their HCF and which should be 1

New steps to find HCF will be as under

2160 = 847 x 2+ 466
847 = 466 ×1 +381
466 = 381 x 1 + 85
381 =85 x 4+ 41
85 =41 x 2+3
41 =3 x 13+ 2
3 =2 x 1+1
2 =1 x 2+0

Therefore, the HCF=1 Hence, the numbers are co-primes (relatively prime).

Azul bought 10 reams of paper at the tore for a total cost of 84$ the tax on the purpose was 4$ what equation could be used to r
tankabanditka [31]

Answer:

The equation 10x+4=84  could be used to represent this situation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Azul bought 10 reams of paper at the store for a total cost of $84 the tax on the purpose was $4.

Now, to find the equation that could be used to represent this situation.

Let the cost of a ream of paper be x.

Total reams of paper = 10.

The tax on the purpose = $4.

The total cost = $84.

Now, to write an equation to represent this situation:

10\times x+4=84

10x+4=84

Therefore, the equation 10x+4=84  could be used to represent this situation.
