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

3 - 7 = -4

Why?

7 is a bigger number than 3 which makes the answer a negative number.

-9 -8 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

that is a number line and if you start from 3 and go back 7 spaces it would be -4.

In conclusion,

-4 is the absolute value of 3 - 7.

A certain bacteria culture grows at a rate of 18% everyday. There are currently 420 bacteria. How many bacteria will there be on

spayn [35]

In this question, it is given that

A certain bacteria culture grows at a rate of 18% everyday. There are currently 420 bacteria.

And we have to find number of bacterias on day *.

For that we use the following formula

$N(t) =N_{0} (1 +r)^t$

$N(0)= 420, r = 0.18 , and \ t = 8days$

Substituting these values in the formula, we will get

$N(8)= 420(1+0.18)^8
\\
N(8)=1579$

THerefore on day 8, number of bacterias are 1579.
