It depends on which number has the greatest absolute value.

Think about it as money

If you owe me $10, this is shown as -10

Now  if I give you back 2 dollars  (+2), How much money do I still owe you.

The equation is -10+2

I still owe you 8 dollars which is portrayed as -8

Hope this helps :)

Write the equation of the line that passes through (-1,8) and is parallel to the graph of y = 4x - 2
NikAS [45]

Answer:

When a line is parallel to another line, they have the same slope. So far the equation would be, y=4x+b. To find the value of b, substitute the given point into the equation.

8=4(-1)+b

8=-4+b

b=12

So, the equation of the line is y=4x+12.

Find the sum of a finite geometric sequence from n = 1 to n = 8, using the expression −2(3)^n − 1.
Kazeer [188]
The sum if the geometric sequence given by:
an=-2(3)^(n-1)
will be:
when:
n=1
an=-2
when n=2
a2=-6
when n=3
a3=-18

when n=4
a4=-54

when n=5
a5=-162

when n=6
a6=-486

when n=7
a7=-1458

when n=8
a8=-4374

thus the summation of the term will be:
Sn=(-4374+-1458+-486+-162+-54+-18+-6+-2)
Sn=-6560
the answer is -6560

The answer to this Question is A

What is Absolute Value Function or so called Modulus Function or Mod function?

It is a function that takes all real values as input and returns same values but +ve in nature eg if you give input as 2, output will be 2 and if you give input as -2, you will get output 2 again

Solution:

We have expression Ix-5I + 2

we know that I anything I , called as mod of anything, is always greater than or equal to zero so if we take its minimum value as 0 and we get 0 + 2 = 2

means this expression cant be less than 2 hence it will be greater than or equal to 2

because minimum value of mod is 0 and we are adding 2 to it hence overall the expression will be greater than 2 only
