Mathematics

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

An absolute value is the distance a number is from 0 on the number line. So, regardless if it is a negative or a positive number, the distance from that number to 0 will always be positive. For example, -5 is 5 units away from 0, and 5 is also 5 units from zero. They have the same absolute value, even though one is negative and the other is positive.

Answer:

You can describe absolute value as a number's (Negative or positive) distance from zero.

Step-by-step explanation:

Say you have 4 and -4. 4's absolute value is four because it is four number units away from zero. -4 is a negative number but its absolute value would still be positive four because it is still four number units away from zero even though those number units are negative.

Answer: D

Step-by-step explanation: slope = "rise over run" = 1.5/18 = 3/36 = 1/12 for the 1st section to the landing

slope is the change in height, the vertical change, divided by the change in horizontal distance

2nd section has slope 1/18 and covers 9 feet. That means it rises 1/2 foot

slope = 1/18 = (1/2)/9  

the door is 2 feet higher than the ground level,  1.5 + .5 = 2 feet change vertically

The number of frogs on the pond is Proportional to the number of salamanders placed in the pond. Suppose there are 10 Frog’s for
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

Y=10x

(multiply 10 times the salamanders)

Step-by-step explanation:

a formula that can be used for this circumstance is a linear y=mx+b problem. for 1 salamander there are 10 frogs. so with this we can state that y=10x. whatever you plug into the x for the number of salamanders will give you the answer of how many frogs are in the pond. for example.

Y=10x

Y=10(3)

Y=30

30 frogs.

also because 10 is a nice number you can just multiply the number of salamanders times 10. 3*10=30

Find the missing values assuming continuously compounded interest. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)
alexdok [17]

Answer:

<h2>$3448.81</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the compound interest formula to calculate the amount compounded after 10years.

A = P(1+r)^{nt}

P = principal  = $2000

r = rate (in %) = 5.6%

t = time (in years) = 10years

n = 1year = time used in compounding

A = 2000(1+0.056)^{10} \\A = 2000(1.056)^{10}\\A = 2000*1.7244046\\A = 3448.81 (to\  2dp)

Amount compounded after 10 years is $3448.81

Solve these two equations using the Addition Method (also known as the elimination method).
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

(-2, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

5/2(3/4x + 1/3y = -1/2)

1/2x - 5/6y = -7/2

15/8x + 5/6y = -5/4

19/8x = -19/4

x = -2

1/2(-2) - 5/6y = -7/2

-1 -5/6y = -7/2

-5/6y = -5/2

y = 3
