Answer:

The product of two negative rational numbers can not be negative. Hence, the statement that 'the product will be negative' is FALSE.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that a rational number is a number that can be written in the form p/q, where p and q are integers.

A negative rational number is a number that can be represented as -p/q or

(-1) p/q, where p and q are whole numbers.

It must be not that the product of two negative rational numbers would always be positive.

For example, let suppose m = -5 and n = -7 are two negative rational numbers.

Taking the product of -5 and -7.

= (-5) × (-7)

= 35

Therefore, the product of two negative rational numbers can not be negative. Hence, the statement that 'the product will be negative' is FALSE.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Remark

If you started at W and went all the way around the circle until you wound up back at W, you will have gone 360 degrees. Since the angle measurement that prevents that is 85 degrees, the answer must be 360 - 85 = 275.

Write the equation of the following circle in general form and standard form. Show your work.

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Standard equation of a circle is given by,

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

Here, (h, k) is the center of the circle.

From the graph given in the picture,

Center of the circle → (-1, 1)

Radius of the circle = 3 units

Therefore, standard equation of the circle will be,

(x + 1)² + (y - 1)² = 3²

(x + 1)² + (y - 1)² = 9

General equation of the circle is the expanded form of the standard equation.

x² + 2x + 1 + y² + 1 - 2y = 9

x² + y² + 2x - 2y + 2 = 9

x² + y² + 2x - 2y - 7 = 0

Therefore, general equation of the given circle is,

x² + y² + 2x - 2y - 7 = 0

These are the steps:
1. Find the area of the trapezium {Whole figure).
2. FInd the area of the rectangle (unshaded).
3. Area of the shaded = Area of trapezium - Area of the rectangle.

Step 1: Find the area of the trapezium:

Formula : Area of trapezium = 1/2 (a + b)h

Area = 1/2 ( 25 + 15) (12) = 240 yd²

Step 2 : Find the area of the rectangle:

Formula : Area = Length x Width

Area = 12 x 3 = 36 yd²

Step 3: Find the shaded region:

240 - 36 = 204 yd²

Answer: 204 yd²
