There are two cases to consider.
A) The removed square is in an odd-numbered column (and row). In this case, the board is divided by that column and row into parts with an even number of columns, which can always be tiled by dominos, and the column the square is in, which has an even number of remaining squares that can also be tiled by dominos.
B) The removed square is in an even-numbered column (and row). In this case, the top row to the left of that column (including that column) can be tiled by dominos, as can the bottom row to the right of that column (including that column). The remaining untiled sections of the board have even numbers of rows, so can be tiled by dominos.
_____
Perhaps the shorter answer is that in an odd-sized board, the corner squares are the ones that there is one of in excess. Cutting out one that is of that color leaves an even number of squares, and equal numbers of each color. Such a board seems like it <em>ought</em> to be able to be tiled by dominos, but the above shows there is actually an algorithm for doing so.
He has a total of $58.19.
1 day = $2.74
58.19/2.74
21.24
You can't have 21.2 days, so you need to round down to 21.
Jim can buy lunch for 21 days before he runs out of money on his account.
Answer:
C. 726
Step-by-step explanation:
9196-1936=7260 and take away the 0 so your answer will be 726
Absolute Value
Absolute Value
means ...
... only how far a number is from zero:
<span>
<span><span>
</span>
<span>
<span>
"6" is 6 away from zero,
and "−6" is also 6 away from zero.
So the absolute value of 6 is 6,
and the absolute value of −6 is also 6 </span>
</span>
</span></span>
More Examples:
<span><span>The absolute value of −9 is 9</span><span>The absolute value of 3 is 3</span><span>The absolute value of 0 is 0</span><span>The absolute value of −156 is 156</span></span>
No Negatives!
So in practice "absolute value" means to remove any negative
sign in front of a number, and to think of all numbers as positive (or
zero).
Absolute Value Symbol
To show that we want the absolute value of something, we put
"|" marks either side (they are called "bars" and are found on the right
side of a keyboard), like these examples:
<span>
<span><span>
|−5| = 5
|7| = 7
</span>
</span></span>
Sometimes absolute value is also written as "abs()", so abs(−1) = 1 is the same as <span>|−1| = 1</span>
