That is just absolute value, basically what it means is take off whatever sign there was attached to it (such as a negative sign)
Answer:
10 and 12
Step-by-step explanation:
let the consecutive even integers be n and n + 2 , then
n² - 64 = 3(n + 2) ← distribute parenthesis
n² - 64 = 3n + 6 ( subtract 3n + 6 from both sides )
n² - 3n - 70 = 0 ← in standard form
(n - 10)(n + 7) = 0 ← in factored form
Equate each factor to zero and solve for n
n - 10 = 0 ⇒ n = 10
n + 7 = 0 ⇒ n = - 7
Since n must be a positive even integer then n = 10 and n + 2 = 10 + 2 = 12
The 2 numbers are 10 and 12
Answer:
A person can select 3 coins from a box containing 6 different coins in 120 different ways.
Step-by-step explanation:
Total choices = n = 6
no. of selections to be made = r = 3
The order of selection of coins matter so we will use permutation here.
Using the formula of Permutation:
nPr = 
We can find all possible ways arranging 'r' number of objects from a given 'n' number of choices.
Order of coin is important means that if we select 3 coins in these two orders:
--> nickel - dime - quarter
--> dime - quarter - nickel
They will count as two different cases.
Calculating the no. of ways 3 coins can be selected from 6 coins.
nPr =
= 
nPr = 120
