Simplify the expression |ab| if a<0 and b>0

Mathematics
1 answer:
AlladinOne [14]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

|ab|=-ab\\|2b|=-2b\\|c|=-c

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The expressions to simplify are:

1. |ab|\ if\ a0

We know that, product of a negative number and a positive number is always negative.

Here, 'a' is less than 0 or a negative number. 'b' is greater than 0 or a positive number. The product of 'a' and 'b' is a number less than 0 or a negative number. Now, we need to find the absolute value of their product. The absolute value is never negative. So, in order to make the product positive, we multiply the product by -1 as product of two negative numbers is always positive.

Therefore, |ab|=-1\times ab=-ab

2. |2b|\ if\ b

Here, also, 'b' is less than 0 or a negative number. Therefore, the number '2b' is a negative number So, in order to write this without the absolute value sign, we have to multiply '2b' by -1 to make the product always positive.

Therefore, |2b|=-1\times b = -2b

3. |c|\ if\ c

This is also similar to the one above. Since 'c' is a negative number, we need to multiply it by -1 when we remove the absolute value sign.

Thus, |c|=-1\times c=-c

What is the value if x ?
dexar [7]

Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to use the fact that all angles of a triangle add up to 180 and two supplementary angles add up to 180.

First,QRS forms a line, so angle QRT and angle TRS add up to 180 or, if we call angle TRS y for the sake of having it as a variable, 45x+y=180 or y=180-45x

Now we have all three angles of the triangle, and we know all three add up to 180, so startign with our newly found angle, (180-45x)+(25x)+(57+x)=180

180-45x+25x+57+x=180

237 - 19x = 180

57 = 19x

x=3

Let me know if you need any further explanation.
