Answer:

In math students think that the function just removes negative signs, and actually that is basically what happens...

BUT !!! the definition that you want is that absolute value is a measure of how far (distance) you are from ZERO.... and note that distances are not negative...

If you run out of gas one mile in front of behind a gas station, you have to travel "one mile" you don't walk "negative one mile"...

forward one mile or backward one mile are both "one mile" just in different directions

The mistake Shawna made was in her answer the 54 repeats so the bar should be over the .54 not the .545

a wire of length 200 cm is cut into two parts and each part is bent to form a square.If the area of the larger square is 9 times

diamong [38]

Answer:

The perimeter of the larger square is $150cm.$

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, let one part of it be " $x$ "

and the other part of it " $200-x$ "

Now to solve this :

The area of the square = $L^2$

The area of one part of the square = $x^2$

The area of the other part of the square = $(200-x)^2$

$9x^2= (200-x)^2\\9x^2=40000-400x+x^2$

Now, add, $-4x^2$ to both the sides :

$9x^2-9x^2=40000-400x+x^2-9x^2\\-1(8x^2+400x-40000)=0$

Now, take out the "8" which is common :

$-8(x^2+50x-5000)=0$

Now, divide it by $-8$ :

$x^2+100x-50x-5000=0\\x(x+100)-50(x+100)=0\\(x+100)(x-50)=0\\$

$x=-100$ or $50$

So, now we know that :

One of the part is = $50cm$

And the other part is = $150cm$

Thus the perimeter of the larger square is = $150cm$

Which of the following is the conjugate of a complex number with −1 as the real part and 3i as the imaginary part? (6 points) –1

dmitriy555 [2]

Complex numbers have the form a + ib. Given a + ib, the complex conjugatet is a - ib.

Therefore, the complex conjugate of -1 + 3i is -1 - 3i.
