9.5 inches per month
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the information about the depth of the pond:
Month 1: 93 in
Month 2: 98 in
Month 3: 112 in
From month 1 to month 3, the average rate of change of the depth of the pond, in inches per month can be calculated using formula

Hence, from month 1 to month 3, what is the average rate of change of the depth of the pond, in inches per month is

Answer:
|-3| = 3 and -|-4| = -4
Step-by-step explanation:
The absolute value function changes the sign to positive, if it isn't already. The usual rules of arithmetic and logic apply to these statements.
|-3| = 3 (true) and -|-4| = -4 (true) ⇒ this statement is true
|-3| = 3 (true) and |-4| = -4 (false) ⇒ this statement is false
-|3| = 3 (false) and |4| = 4 (true) ⇒ this statement is false
|-3| = 3 (true) and -|4| = 4 (false) ⇒ this statement is false
