For what values of a the following expressions are true: |a|=−a

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Any negative number and 0 works for the expression.

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at this type of equation, we know that either EVERY negative number and 0 or EVERY positive number and 0 will work for this equation, since nothing is being added and we're just working with absolutes/negatives.

Let's try a random positive number in the expression

[tex]|6| = -(6)\\6 \neq -6[/tex]

So this positive number doesn't work, let's just test with another one.

[tex]|9| = -(9)\\9 \neq -9[/tex]

So we know that positive numbers won't work with this expression.

Let's test 0 quickly, just to make sure.

[tex]|0| = -0\\0 = 0[/tex]

So 0 works.

Let's try a few negative numbers now.

[tex]|-5| = -(-5)\\5 = 5[/tex]

So yes, this does work. Let's try one more negative number.

[tex]|-120| = -(-120)\\120 = 120[/tex]

This works. So, every negative number and 0 work with this equation.

Hope this helped!

Answer 2

Answer:

|a|=−a is true only if a is negative or zero

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that absolute values are always 0 or positive.  

|a|=−a is true only if a is negative or zero.

Rotation and Reflection
Reflection and Translation
Reflection and Dilation
Translation and Rotation

Answers

Answer: C) reflection and dilation

Explanation:

The transformations of translation, reflection and rotation are considered rigid motions. They keep the figure the same size just it has been shifted around in some way. In contrast, a dilation will alter the size to make it larger or smaller depending on what the scale factor is.

Only choice C has "dilation" as part of the answer, so it must be the answer. The other choices are purely rigid motions that will keep the triangle the same size and shape. In other words, the preimage and image are congruent for choices A,B, and D.

3,600 square millimeters
4.800 square millimeters
5,400 square millimeters
6,000 square millimeters

Answers

Answer:

6000 square millimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

Side length of the slanting side can be calculated using the Pythagorean theorem,

L = sqrt(30^2+40^2) = 50

sufrace area of a triangular prism

= surface area of the end sections + the surface area of the three side faces

= 2*(30*40/2) + 40*(30+40+50)

= 1200 + 4800

= 6000 mm^2

Answer:

D) 6,000 square mm

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the surface area of the triangular prism, find the are of each face.

40 × 30 ÷ 2 = 600 × 2 sides = 120040 × 50 = 200040 × 30 = 120040 × 40 = 1600

f(X) x-2/5 g(X) x-5 find f inverse g inverse= 7 and solve it​

Answers

Answer: 62/5

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given the following functions:

F(X) = x-2/5

g(X) = x-5

First find the inverse of the two functions.

To find inverse, first make f(x) and g(x) equal to y, interchange x and y and make y the subject of formula

F(x) = x - 2/5

Y = x - 2/5

Interchange y and x

X = y - 2/5

Make y the subject of formula

Y = x + 2/5

Therefore, f^-1(x) = x + 2/5 ..... (1)

Also,

g(x) = x - 5

Y = x - 5

X = y - 5

Make y the subject of formula

Y = x + 5

g^-1(x) = x + 5

To find g inverse of 7, substitute 7 for x in the above formula

g^-1(7) = 7 + 5 = 12

f inverse g inverse = 7 will be achieved by substitute 12 for x in the equation (1)

F^-1(12) = 12 + 2/5 = 62/5

The ball will reach the ground when h=0.

Set the equation equal to 0.

[tex]0=-8(2 t-4)(t+1)[/tex]

[tex]t=-1,2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The height of a golf ball after it has been hit from the top of a hill can be modeled by the equation

[tex]h=-8(2 t-4)(t+1)[/tex],

where h is the height in feet and t is time in seconds.  

When ball will reach the ground the distance between ball and ground is 0. So, the ball will reach the ground when h=0.

To find the time it takes for the ball to reach the ground,  set the equation equal to 0 and use the Zero Product Property to solve for $t$.

[tex]h=-8(2 t-4)(t+1)[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow 0=-8(2 t-4)(t+1)[/tex]

Solve the equation using the Zero Product Property.

[tex]2t-4=0\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{4}{2}=2[/tex]

2. Give the data set.

3. Find the mean of the data.

4. If you remove the outlier, will the mean decrease, increase, or remain the same? Explain why.

5. Find the mean without the outlier to show that your response is correct.

Answer:

3. Mean ➡ 13.67 ( About )

4. The mean will decrease. The mean is the average difference between the values in a data set, and this outlier is much greater than the rest of the values. Therefore, in the absence of the outlier the mean will decrease.

5. Mean ➡ 7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

I do want to point out that there is no " correct " answer in this case, but if you are referring to accuracy in terms of the calculations ( mean ) in this set, then I can understand.

1 and 2. An outlier is a value that does not belong to the set of values, considering their is pattern among the numbers. In other words it can be a number of high value, or a number of low value with respect to the data set. This throws the pattern of the set off balance, and does result in drastic changes in the mean.

Let's say that this is the following set - { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 }. A very basic set, but as you can see contains only 14 elements. This last element here will be the outlier, 100 - { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 100 }.

3 and 4 and 5. Assuming that this outlier was not present, I can tell that the set would have a mean less than when it was present. The mean is the average difference in the data set, and this outlier is greater than the other elements - greatly increasing the mean. The mean of the data set with the outlier is 13.67, and the mean of the data set without the outlier would be 7.5.

A bowling ball is pushed with a force of 22.0 N and accelerates at 5.5 m/s2. What is the mass of the bowling ball? Ik the answer is 4.0, but I got it wrong for 4.00. I based the significant numbers off the 22.0 but apparently it's the 5.5. I always get it wrong when the question involves two numbers with different amounts of significant numbers (sometimes I use the smaller one but it wanted the bigger). How do I know when to use more or less significant numbers?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

You should always use the least number of significant figures.  The exception is exact numbers or constants.

For example, there are 60 minutes in an hour.  Even though this number has one significant figure, it is an exact number.  So 15 minutes converted to hours would be 0.25 hr.

A square playground has an area of 263 ft2. What is the approximate length of each side of the playground? Round your answer to the nearest foot. 17 ft 18 ft 131.5 ft 16 ft

Answers

Answer:

Approximately 16 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

If the playground has a square shape, then its area equals the square of the playground's side (S):

[tex]S^2=263 \,\,ft^2\\S = \sqrt{263} \,\,ft\\S\approx 16.217 \,\,ft \\S\approx 16\,\,ft[/tex]

Answer:

16 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a square can be found using the following formula.

[tex]A=s^2[/tex]

We know that the area of the playground is 263 ft^2. Therefore,

A=263 ft^2

[tex]263 ft^2= s^2[/tex]

We want to find out what s, the side length, is. s is being squared. The inverse of a square is a square root. Therefore, we must take the square root of both sides.

[tex]\sqrt{263 ft^2} =\sqrt{s^2}[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{263ft^2}=s[/tex]

[tex]16.2172747 ft=s[/tex]

Round to the nearest foot. The 2 in the tenth place tells us to leave 16 as is.

[tex]16 ft=s[/tex]

The approximate length of each side of the playground is 16 feet.

Let the equation of lines be:

[tex]a_1x+b_1y+ c_1=0[/tex] and  [tex]a_2x+b_2y+ c_2=0[/tex]

1. No solution:

There exists no solution if:

3. One solution:

There exists one solution if:

[tex]\dfrac{a_1}{a_2}\neq\dfrac{b_1}{b_2}[/tex]

Now, let us consider the given equations one by one.

1st system of equations:

The ratio is:

[tex]\dfrac{4}{-4} , \dfrac{2}{-2} , \dfrac{8}{3}\\-1 =-1\neq \dfrac{8}{3}[/tex]

So, no solution.

2nd system of equations:

The ratio:

[tex]\dfrac{-5}{5} , \dfrac{-1}{1} , \dfrac{6}{-6}\\-1 =-1=-1[/tex]

So, infinitely many solutions.

3rd system of equations:

[tex]\dfrac{3}{-3} , \dfrac{-4}{4} , \dfrac{0}{2}\\-1 =-1\ne0[/tex]

So, no solution.

4th system of equations:

[tex]\dfrac{2}{3} , \dfrac{4}{-4} , \dfrac{6}{9}\\\dfrac{2}{3} \ne-1[/tex]

Hence, only one solution.

So, the answer is:
