Hey there! I'm happy to help!
This symbol is an <u>absolute value</u> symbol. It means that we are looking for that number's distance from 0. There is no such thing as a negative distance; the distances are all positive, so both ∣9∣ and ∣-9∣ have a value of 9.
Have a wonderful day and keep on learning! :D
Answer: 120 ways
Step-by-step explanation: In this problem, we're asked how many ways can 5 people be arranged in a line.
Let's start by drawing 5 blanks to represent the 5 different positions in the line.
Now, we know that 5 different people can fill the spot in the first position. However, once the first position is filled, only 4 people can fill the second spot and once the second spot is filled, only 3 people can fill the third spot and so on. So we have <u>5</u> <u>4</u> <u>3</u> <u>2</u> <u>1</u>.
Now, based on the counting principle, there are 5 x 4 x 3 x 2 x 1 ways for all 5 spots to be filled.
5 x 4 is 20, 20 x 3 is 60, 60 x 2 is 120, and 120 x 1 is 120.
So there are 120 ways for all 5 spots to be filled which means that there are 120 ways that 5 people can be arranged in a line.

i need help on this
What are some other things that have been engineered to help people deal with the effects of gravity?
use long division or synthetic division
I will use long
y-3 times y=y^3-3y
subtract that from y^2-y-11
we are left with
2y-11
multiply y-3 by 2 and get 2y-6
subtract that from 2y-11
get 5 as a remainder
answer is y+2+5/(y-3)
