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

Mathematics
1 answer:
sveticcg [70]2 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

Dave wants to buy a new collar for each of his 3 dogs. The collars come in a choice of 6 different colors. 1. How many selection
damaskus [11]

Answer:

1: 216 selections

2: 120 selections

Step-by-step explanation:

1:

we have 6 different colors and we can choose the same color repeatedly, so for each of the 3 dogs, we have 6 possibilities, so the number of combinations is 6*6*6 = 216 selections.

2:

we have 6 different colors and we can't repeat a color, so the first collar has 6 possibilities, the second has 5 possibilities (one color was already chosen), and the third collar has 4 possibilities (two already chosen), so the number of selections is 6*5*4 = 120.

The local grocery store has sorted apples by size. The distribution is approximately normal. The large apples have a mean diamet
NikAS [45]

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

Approximately 0.2% of the apples will be more than three standard deviations above the mean size. In a bin of 100 apples, 0.2% of 100=0.2% apples, this rounds down to zero apples that size or larger. (In a bin of 500 apples, there could be one apple of that size.)

Hey there!!

The given set is a function

( x , y ) - this is the form in which we write co-ordinates

In order to be a function , at least x values shall repeat.

Noted down all the x values

2 , -1, 4 , -2

None of the values is repeating.

Hence, the given data is a function

Hope my answer helps!
