answer: positive
for example: -2 x -2 x -2 x-2
=4 x -2 x -2
=-8 x -2
=positive 16
Consider the contrapositive of the statement you want to prove.
The contrapositive of the logical statement
<em>p</em> ⇒ <em>q</em>
is
¬<em>q</em> ⇒ ¬<em>p</em>
In this case, the contrapositive claims that
"If there are no scalars <em>α</em> and <em>β</em> such that <em>c</em> = <em>α</em><em>a</em> + <em>β</em><em>b</em>, then <em>a₁b₂</em> - <em>a₂b₁</em> = 0."
The first equation is captured by a system of linear equations,

or in matrix form,

If this system has no solution, then the coefficient matrix on the right side must be singular and its determinant would be

and this is what we wanted to prove. QED

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A circle is 360 degrees. What we are asked in words is, "How many degrees is 40% of 360?" Let x be "how many degrees"; the word "is" means =; 40% as a decimal is .4; the word of in this context means to multiply; and 360 is just 360. Putting all that together into an equation we can solve for x:
x = .4(360) so
x = 144
Adventure movies covers 144 degrees of that circle.
the answer is C.DAB and BCD
