Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value of a number is the distance from 0. Distance is always positive, so the absolute value of a number is that number but positive. Thus, the absolute value of |2| is still 2. However, the opposite of a number is that number on the opposite side of 0. Therefore, the opposite of 2 is -2. To find the opposite of a number just flip the sign.

So, these are different because the absolute value is always positive while the opposite can be either sign.

Answer:

Elliot is incorrect

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's take an example: 2

Absolute value of 2 = |2| = 2

But the opposite of 2 = -(2) = -2

But 2 ≠ 2, so Elliott is incorrect.

The opposite of a number changes the sign from - to +, or + to -. Absolute value changes the sign of a number from - to + and keeps + as +.

Q6 Q15.) Which of the following four statements establishes the​ identity?
erastova [34]
A is incorrect. The identity is for the Sin( A - B). It is not for the Cos(A - B)

B is closer, but NOT the answer. The sign in the middle is incorrect, for one thing. For another Cos(pi/2) = 0,, so the answer would be cos(theta) using this formula.

C The sign is correct in C. The problem is that it is the wrong formula for Cos(theta - pi/2). C should go 
Cos(theta - pi/2) = cos(theta) cos(pi/2) + sin(theta)*sin(pi/2)

D. Looks like it's the correct answer. See the comment for C: The identity for C is actually correct for D.
Cos(theta)cos(pi/2) = 0 because cos(pi/2) =0
Sin(theta)*sin(pi/2) = Sin(theta) because Sin(pi/2) = 1

Answer D <<<<<< answer.

I have 84 tables clothes of which 29 are round and 55 are square. What percentage of tables clothes are square?
katrin2010 [14]
The answer would be about 65%. To find this you would take the number of square table cloths and divide it by the total. So you would do 55/84=0.654. I hope this helps :)
