Explain the difference in meaning between 1-3 and -3

Mathematics
1 answer:
sveticcg [70]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The difference in meaning is that

-3 is a signed value. It lies to the left of zero

+3 is also a signed value, and since it is positive, it lies to the right of zero

|-3| is just the physical distance (left or right) of -3 from zero. Since we live in a physical world, all distances are positive, so its signed value is 3.

Since +3 is also 3 units from zero, |+3| = 3

|-3| = |+3| = 3 since both are three units away from zero.

So, when using absolute values as numbers, rather than distances,

|x| = x if x is not negative

|x| = -x if x is negative

Answer:

\frac{2(x-6)(x-10)}{(x-4)(x-5)}

Step-by-step explanation:

In essence, one needs to work their way backwards to solve this problem. Use the information to construct the function.

The function has verticle asymptotes at (x = 4) and (x = 5). This means that the denominator must have (x - 4) and (x - 5) in it. This is because a verticle asymptote indicates that the function cannot have a value at these points, the function jumps at these points. This is because the denominator of a fraction cannot be (0), the values (x - 4) and (x - 5) ensure this. Since if (x) equals (4) or (5) in this situation, the denominator would be (0) because of the zero product property (this states that any number times zero equals zero). So far we have assembled the function as the following:

\frac{()}{(x-4)(x-5)}

The function has x-intercepts at (6, 0), and (0, 10). This means that the numerator must equal (0) when (x) is (6) or (10). Using similar logic that was applied to find the denominator, one can conclude that the numerator must be ((x - 6)(x-10)). Now one has this much of the function assembled

\frac{(x-6)(x-10)}{(x-4)(x-5)}

Finally one has to include the y-intercept of (0, 120). Currently, the y-intercept is (60). This is found by multiplying the constants together. (6 * 10) equals (60). One has to multiply this by (2) to get (120). Therefore, one must multiply the numerator by (2) in order to make the y-intercept (120). Thus the final function is the following:

\frac{2(x-6)(x-10)}{(x-4)(x-5)}

Check the picture below.

well, since the triangle is an isosceles, with twin sides and twin angles at the "base", let's check what the angle at R is, 15(7) - 31 = 74, and her twin sister at T is also 74, that means that the angle at S is 180 - 74 - 74 = 32.
