a) –a + b is negative
b) a – b is positive
c) b-a is negative
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Suppose a and b are real numbers where a > 0 and b < 0.
a. Is –a + b positive or negative. Explain how you know.
We know a > 0 and b < 0. so, let a =6 and b = -5
Putting values:
–a + b
= -(6)+(-5) = -6-5 = -11
So, –a + b is negative
b. Is a – b positive or negative? Explain how you know.
We know a > 0 and b < 0. so, let a =6 and b = -5
Putting values:
a - b
=6-(-5) = 6+5 = 11
So, a – b is positive
c. Is b – a positive or negative. Explain how you know
We know a > 0 and b < 0. so, let a =6 and b = -5
Putting values:
b-a
=(-5)-(6)
= -5-6
= -11
So, b-a is negative

Subtract to find the amount of tax paid:
1890 - 1800 = 90
Divide the amount of tax by the price of the computer:
90 / 1800 = 0.05
Multiply the decimal by 100:
0.05 x 100 = 5%
The tax rate is 5%
Answer:
17 + 2i
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
(2 - 3i) + 5i(1 - 3i) ← distribute both parenthesis
= 2 - 3i + 5i - 15i² [ i² = - 1 ]
= 2 + 2i + 15
= 17 + 2i ← in standard form
