Both claims are false. In fact, 
and 
are one the multiplicative inverse of the other. This means, by definition of multiplicative inverse, that
So, it doesn't matter if is positive or negative: the multiplication of one number and its inverse will always be 1: for example,
Similarly, when you multiply two number, the sign of the product depends on the sign of the factors as follows:
So, the multiplication of two negative numbers is a positive number.
Answer:
y=770-55x --- given
y - 770 = 770 - 55x - 770 ----subtraction property of equality
y = -55x + 770 ---Simplification
y-770/-55 = -55x/-55 --- Division property of equality
-y-770/55=x---Simplification
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: according to spark notes: There can be 0, 1, or 2 solutions to a quadratic equation, depending on whether the expression inside the square root sign, (b2 - 4ac), is positive, negative, or zero. This expression has a special name: the discriminant.
In this case it is 0, not 2, which was my first and wrong answer
