Answer:

False.

Step-by-step explanation:

Integers are numbers in this set:

{...,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,...}

The opposite of a number is you just changing the sign of that number. Unless you are asking for the opposite of 0 which is just 0.

Example: The opposite of 5 is -5.

Example: The opposite of -5 is 5.

So the opposite of an integer does not always mean the result will be negative. As you seen above, it could be 0, positive, or negative.

Liula [17]

Answer:

24.59 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the distance between Sam and the bird.

We have been given that am the owl is looking down at a 24° angle from the top of a tree that is 10 ft tall, when he spots a bird on the ground. We are asked to find the distance between Sam and the bird.

We can see from our attachment that Sam, the bird and angle of depression forms a right triangle with respect to ground. We can see that side 10 ft is opposite side and and side x is hypotenuse for the 24 degree angle.

$\text{sin}=\frac{\text{Opposite}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}$

$\text{sin}(24^{\circ})=\frac{10}{x}$

$x=\frac{10}{\text{sin}(24^{\circ})}$

$x=\frac{10}{0.406736643076}$

$x=24.5859333557$

$x\approx 24.59$

Therefore, the bird is approximately 24.59 feet away from Sam.

A container of beads contains: 8 red beads, 6 yellow beads, and 6 green beads. A bead will be drawn from the basket and replaced

77julia77 [94]

Answer:

Because of probability, a green or red bead would be drawn 14/20 times because there are 20 total beads and adding together the numbers for green and red. From this, if you multiply by 3/3 you can see that 42/60 times it will be a green bead. A reasonable prediction for green beads would then be 42 times. Hope it helps :D

Find a quadratic polynomial whose sum and and product is -7 and -2

vampirchik [111]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The general form of a quadratic equation with roots a and b is expressed as shown;

x²-(sum of root) x + (product of roots) = 0

x² - (a+b)x + ab = 0 ... 1

Given the sum of roots a+b = -7

Product of roots ab = -2

Substituting this values in equation 1 above wil give;

x²-(-7)x+(-2) = 0

x²+7x-2 = 0

The resulting quadratic polynomial is x²+7x-2 = 0
