Answer: a. Positive, because the products (3)(-3) and (-2)(4) are negative, and the product of two negative numbers is positive
Step-by-step explanation: It is also possible to rearrange the factors.
(3)(4) = 12 a positive number.
(-3)(-2) = 6, a positive number. Again "a negative times a negative is a positive" --Jaime Escalante, <em>Stand and Deliver</em>
Now you have two positive numbers: 12×6 = 72
The product is positive either way.
In 18 minutes its 120 because you find the unit
Find the velocity first, the "slope".
m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)
m=(95.5-53)/(4-2)
m=21.25 ? Your equations are wrong, I'll double check with another set of points...
m=(350.5-308)/(16-14)
m=21.25 LOL, yep none of your lines has the correct slope.
Anyway...
y=21.25x+b, using any point we can solve for the y-intercept, or "b", (2, 53)
53=21.25(2)+b
53=42.5+b
10.5=b so the distance to the lighthouse as a function of time is:
y=21.25x+10.5
So essentially, you should fire your teacher or burn that book you are using :)
R=x(A+B)
divide both sides by x
R/x=A+B
minus B both sides
(R/x)-B=A
A=(R/x)-B
Answer:
lesser x = -4.73205, so -4.73
greater x = -1.26795, so -1.27
