Answer:

The sign is negative

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Expression = 3xy

x > 0

y

Required

Determine the sign

The expression can be split into 3 factors

(3) (x) (y)

If x > 0 then x is positive and If y < 0 then y is negative

So, the expression becomes:

(+3) (+x) (-y)

<em />

Leave only signs

(+) (+) (-)

+ * + = -

So, we have:

(+*+) (-)

(+) (-)

+ * - = -

So, we have:

(+) (-) = -

<em>Hence, the sign of the expression is negative</em>

<em></em>

Take for instance;

x = 2

y = -4

The expression would be:

3 *2 * - 4 =-24 -- negative

Three stamps can be attached to each other in various ways.how many ways might three stamps be attached?
ivanzaharov [21]
Let's call the stamps A, B, and C. They can each be used only once. I assume all 3 must be used in each possible arrangement.
There are two ways to solve this. We can list each possible arrangement of stamps, or we can plug in the numbers to a formula. 
Let's find all possible arrangements first. We can easily start spouting out possible arrangements of the 3 stamps, but to make sure we find them all, let's go in alphabetical order. First, let's look at the arrangements that start with A:
ABC
ACB
There are no other ways to arrange 3 stamps with the first stamp being A. Let's look at the ways to arrange them starting with B:
BAC
BCA
Try finding the arrangements that start with C:
C_ _
C_ _
Or we can try a little formula; y×(y-1)×(y-2)×(y-3)...until the (y-x) = 1 where y=the number of items.
In this case there are 3 stamps, so y=3, and the formula looks like this: 3×(3-1)×(3-2).
Confused? Let me explain why it works.
There are 3 possibilities for the first stamp: A, B, or C. 
There are 2 possibilities for the second space: The two stamps that are not in the first space.
There is 1 possibility for the third space: the stamp not used in the first or second space. 
So the number of possibilities, in this case, is 3×2×1.
We can see that the number of ways that 3 stamps can be attached is the same regardless of method used.

You roll five number cubes and the numbers rolled are 1,2, 3, 4, and 5. Are the events independent? Explain.
trasher [3.6K]
Answer: B

Explanation

When rolling a dice, no matter how many times you get an outcome, it can never determine the exact outcome of the next roll, hence it is termed an independent event.

Hope this helps :)
