In your own words, explain to me what is absolute value? Make sure to talk about the definition of it, how you find it, and how

it's different from just plotting an integer on a number line. You must provide 3 sentences or more.

Answer:

It's a function that associates a real number x with a positive real number using the flowing definition: If the number is not negative (so either positive or 0) the absolute value is x. If x is negative, the absolute value is -x.

This means that to find the absolute value of x you must first determine if x is negative or not, and if it is, multiply it by -1. If it isn't, leave it as it is.

Since the absolute value is a function (of a given number), you can't just plot that number in the number line but the function (so in this case absolute value must be taken first.

The absolute value of x is never negative, so given the absolute value of x we can't determinate if x was positive or negative (if x =/ 0) before the absolute value was taken.

Hi can someone help me out with this problem.

Answer:

third side = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity on the right triangle.

The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides.

let the third side be x, then

x² + 40² = 41², that is

x² + 1600 = 1681 ( subtract 1600 from both sides )

x² = 81 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = \sqrt{81} = 9

The third side is 9

Okay so there are 100 white balloons, 200 pink balloons, and we are specified that the ratio of pink to yellow is 10:1 soo we can plug 200:20 which can be simplified to 100:10 which can then be simplified to 10:1 there is our ratio. So there are 29 yellow balloons. Therefore there are only 80 balloons left which would mean there are 80 blue balloons!:)

Hi there! The answer is $98
