A. When you add to negative numbers, it is always negative. A positive + a positive is positive. In D, the answer is always 0. 1 + -1 is 0. In C, it varies. The bigger number not including the negative sign is the sign the number has. For example, -6 + 5 = -1. 6 is bigger than 5. You subtract the smaller number from the bigger number and that is the answer. You would then tack on the negative sign because it is -6, and 6 is bigger than 5.
Answer:
1. 43/36
2. 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 7/9 + 5/12
= LCM of 9 and 12 is 36
= 28/36 + 15/12
= (28 + 15) / 36
= 43/36
2. 21/24 - 3/8
= LCM of 24 and 8 is 24
= 21/24 - 9/24
= (21 - 9) / 24
= 12/24
= 1/2
Answer with explanation:
Let us assume that the 2 functions are:
1) f(x)
2) g(x)
Now by definition of concave function we have the first derivative of the function should be strictly decreasing thus for the above 2 function we conclude that

Now the sum of the 2 functions is shown below

Diffrentiating both sides with respect to 'x' we get

Since each term in the right of the above equation is negative thus we conclude that their sum is also negative thus

Thus the sum of the 2 functions is also a concave function.
Part 2)
The product of the 2 functions is shown below

Diffrentiating both sides with respect to 'x' we get

Now we can see the sign of the terms on the right hand side depend on the signs of the function's themselves hence we remain inconclusive about the sign of the product as a whole. Thus the product can be concave or convex.
1.924 and 5.77
step 1: find the mean by adding up all the numbers and divide the sum by the number of numbers.
step 2: find the difference between each number and the mean, square the difference
step 3: add up all the results of step 2, divide the sum by (n-1), n is the number of numbers.
step 4: square root the result of step 3.
it is a long process.
Jar 1 : 16 red, 4 blue....total = 20
P(blue) = 4/20 reduces to 1/5
jar 2 : 75 white,25 blue...total = 100
P(blue) = 25/100 reduces to 1/4
P(blue,blue) = 1/5 * 1/4 = 1/20 or 0.05 or 5%
