Let x = 1 and y= -2, which expression has a negative value?

Mathematics

Nonamiya [84]3 years ago

Answer:

The following expressions become negative:

  • 1) x+y = 1+(-2) = -1
  • 3) x times y = xy = (1)(-2) = -2
  • 4) x divided by y = x/y = 1/-2 = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

  • x = 1
  • y = -2

Computing by substituting x = 1, and y = -2

1) x+y = 1+(-2) = -1

2) x - y = 1 - (-2) = 1+2 = 3

3) x times y = xy = (1)(-2) = -2

4) x divided by y = x/y = 1/-2 = -2

It is clear from the above calculations that when we put x = 1, and y=-2 then the expressions (x+y), (x times y), and (x divided by y) become negative.

Therefore, the following expressions become negative:

  • 1) x+y = 1+(-2) = -1
  • 3) x times y = xy = (1)(-2) = -2
  • 4) x divided by y = x/y = 1/-2 = -2

A certain plant grows 134 inches every week. How long will it take the plant to grow 714 inches?
Bond [772]

The information we know:

1 week = 134 inches

x = 714

What I did was, I divided 714 by 134 to find the amount of weeks:

714/134 = 5.3

So, from the equation, basically, in 6 weeks (actually 5.3 weeks) the plant will grow 714 inches long

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

89

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, there to find the mean

you need add the numbers and count how many numbers are there and divide

In this case 98+78+84+96= 356

Now we will count

there are 4 numbers

\frac{356}{4}= 89

Your mean will be 89

If you ever have trouble with mean remember this

Mean\frac{SumofDataPoints}{NumberofDataPoints }

well it is supposed to be:

Sum of Data Points/Number of Data Points
