Carlos finds |-3.8| = 3.8. Then he finds the opposite, which is of -3.8. Jason finds the opposite of -3.8, which is of 3.8. Then he finds the absolute value, which is 3.8. Therefore, Jason has a greater final value.
<h3>Absolute value and opposite of a number</h3>
The absolute value and the opposite of a number are given as follows:
- Absolute value: number without the signal.
- Opposite: number with the signal exchanged.
Hence:
- The absolute value of -3.8 is of |-3.8| = 3.8.
- The opposite of 3.8 is -3.8. (Carlos number).
- The opposite of -3.8 is of 3.8.
- The absolute value of 3.8 is 3.8. (Jason number).
Hence Jason has the greater number.

#SPJ4
3 consecutive positive integers : x, x + 1, x + 2
x^2 = x + 2
x^2 - x - 2 = 0
(x + 1)(x - 2) = 0
x + 1 = 0
x = -1....this is an extraneous solution that does not work
x - 2 = 0
x = 2
check...
square of the first = third
x^2 = x + 2
2^2 = 2 + 2
4 = 4 (correct)
so ur 3 integers are 2,3, and 4
This is a number you will have memorized in grade school. If not, you can always perform long division of 2 by 3 to find it---or ask your calculator.
2/3 = 0.6666_6 . . . . . . repeating 6s indefinitely
____
Most folks get tired of writing 6s after a couple million of them, so they round it off to 0.67 or 0.667. These rounded values are NOT exactly 2/3.
Answer: The answer is 5
Step-by-step explanation: When using the pythagorean theorem, the 2 short sides are a and b, and the longest is c. Then you fill in the equation and solve.
Answer:
2.1n-2.1
Step-by-step explanation:
The increase is
1.10 (n-1)= 1.1n -1.1
Add this to the original amount
(n-1) + 1.1n - 1.1
2.1n-2.1
