Explain why the absolute value of a number will never be negative

Answers

Answer 1
It won't be negative, it will always be positive.
For example, you can't be -6 away from zero, but you can be 6 away from zero. It wouldn't really make sense if you said "my number is -6 away from zero."
Answer 2

Answer:

The absolute value of a number is the distance the number is from 0 on a number line. Since distance is never negative, absolute value is never negative.Step-by-step explanation:

the price of 9-volt batteries is increasing according to the function below, where t is years after January 1, 1980. During what year will the price reach $4? use formula P(t)=1.1*e^0.047t A.)2007 B.)2005 C.)2003 D.)2009

Answers

4=1.1e^(0.047t)  divide both sides by 1.1

40/11=e^(0.047t)  take the natural log of both sides

ln(40/11)=0.047t  divide both sides by 0.047

t=ln(40/11)/0.047

t≈24.5

1980+24.5

2007.5

So during 2007 the price will reach $4.

Answer:

The option A.) 2007 is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula which is to be used is given :

[tex]P(t) = 1.1\cdot e^{0.047t}[/tex]

where P(t) is the function of time t and t is the time in years after January 1 , 1980

Now, we need to find the year when the price will reach $4

So, substituting P(t) = 4 and finding the value of t from the given equation.

[tex]\implies 4=1.1\cdot e^{0.047t}\\\\\implies 3.64=e^{0.047t}\\\\\text{Taking natural log ln on both the sides}\\\\\implies \ln 3.64=\ln e^{0.047t}\\\\\implies 1.29=0.047\cdot t\\\\\implies t = 27.49[/tex]

So, t = 27.49 which is approximately equals to 27.5 years

So, 27.5 years after January 1, 1980 is the year 2007

Hence, The price will reach $4 in the year 2007

Therefore, The option A.) 2007 is correct

Answers

This is substitution, it's very simple once you get the hang of it! 

okay, what you want to do is plug in the numbers you already have, to get the number you don't have(r).

First, you plug in the numbers.

1.  P= $2000  
    A=$2543
    t= 4(years)
    r=? 

2543=2000^r(4) 

Secondly, you want to solve the equation.


Answer:

Rate of interest = 6%

Step-by-step explanation:

Alexis put $2000 in a savings account. After 4 years, she had $2543 in the account.

Use the formula,

[tex]A=Pe^{rt}[/tex]

[tex]P\rightarrow \$2000[/tex]

[tex]r\rightarrow ?[/tex]

[tex]A\rightarrow \$2543[/tex]

[tex]t\rightarrow 4\text{ years}[/tex]

Substitute the value into formula and solve r

[tex]2543=2000e^{4r}[/tex]

[tex]e^{4r}=1.2715[/tex]

Apply ln both sides

[tex]4r\ln(e)=\ln(1.2715)[/tex]

[tex]r=0.06[/tex]

Rate of interest = 6%

Hence, The rate of interest is 6%

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that for x-intercept the graph crosses x-axis i.e the value of y = 0.

As in the table, the value of y is changing from negative to positive, so it will obtain the value y = 0 for some vale of x.

Therefore, this function will have only one x-intercept.

A stick 42 inches long is broken into two pieces, so that one piece is twice as long as the other one. How long are the two pieces ?

Answers

Total length of stick = 42 inches.

Let the shorter piece be x inches.

Thus, the longer piece is 2x.

2x + x = 42

3x = 42

x = 14

Therefore, the length of the two pieces are 14 inches and 28 inches.

The answer is 14 inches and 28 inches:

Total length of stick = 42 inches.

Let the shorter piece be x inches.

Thus, the longer piece is 2x.

2x + x = 42

3x = 42

x = 14

Therefore, the length of the two pieces are 14 inches and 28 inches.

One ordered pair $(a,b)$ satisfies the two equations $ab^4 = 12$ and $a^5 b^5 = 7776$. what is the value of $a$ in this ordered pair?

Answers

Final answer:

To find the value of a in the ordered pair (a,b), we can solve the given equations. Substituting ab^4 with 12 in the second equation, we get a^5 (12)^5 = 7776. Solving for a gives a = 0.03125^(1/5) = 0.5.

Explanation:

To find the value of a in the ordered pair (a,b), we can solve the given equations.

From the first equation, ab^4 = 12, we can substitute ab^4 with 12 in the second equation:
a^5 b^5 = 7776

This gives us:
a^5 (12)^5 = 7776
12^5 = 12 * 12 * 12 * 12 * 12 = 248,832

Dividing both sides of the equation by (12^5) gives:
a^5 = 7776 / (12^5) = 7776 / 248,832 = 0.03125

Taking the fifth root of both sides gives:
a = 0.03125^(1/5) = 0.5

Aiden calculated the area of triangle QRS below by finding half the product of 1.5 and 1.1.

Answers

His error is the second choice.
Aiden should have calculated
area = (1.1 * 5.4) / 2
because triangle area = half the base times the altitude.


Answer: The correct option is

(B) Aiden should have found half the product of 1.1 and 5.4 because the 1.5 line is not perpendicular to 1.1 line.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that Aiden calculated the area of triangle QRS by finding half the product of 1.5 and 1.1.

We are to select the correct option which states the error made by Aiden.

The AREA of a triangle is given by

[tex]A=\dfrac{1}{2}\times \textup{base}\times \textup{altitude},[/tex]

where the altitude is perpendicular to the base.

In ΔQRS, the length of the base is given by

b = QS = 0.9 + 4.5 = 5.4 units

and

the length of the altitude is given by

h = 1.1 units.

So, the area of the triangle QRS will be

[tex]A=\dfrac{1}{2}\times b\times h=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 5.4\times 1.1[/tex]

Therefore, the area of ΔQRS will be calculated by finding half the product of 1.1 and 5.4.

So, Aiden made the error by finding half the product of 1.5 and 1.1, because 1.5 line is not perpendicular to 1.1 line.

Thus, Aiden should have found half the product of 1.1 and 5.4 because the 1.5 line is not perpendicular to 1.1 line.

Option (B) is correct.

Slope (12,-18),(11,12)

Answers

If you are trying to find the slope using only these two points then you should first take note of what your X and Y values are. For instance, 12 & 11 are your X values and -18 & 12 are your Y values. Knowing this you can now find your slope by doing y2-y1/
x2-x1. You will get the fraction -30/1 or -30 which is your slope. Hope that made sense!
Final answer:

The slope of the line passing through the points (12, -18) and (11, 12) is calculated using the formula for slope (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). The result is -30.

Explanation:

The subject of this question is Mathematics, more specifically the topic of 'Slope of a Line'. The grade level appears to be High School.

To answer the question 'Find the slope for the given coordinates (12,-18) and (11,12)', we use the formula to calculate the slope between two points which is (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1). Let's take (12, -18) as (x1, y1) and (11, 12) as (x2, y2). Now we just input the values into the formula:

Slope (m) = (12 - (-18)) / (11 - 12).

This simplifies to Slope (m) = 30 / -1 = -30.

So, the slope of the line passing through the points (12, -18) and (11, 12) is -30.

In Pilgrim's Progress the Man with the Muck-rake is set forth as the example of him whose vision is fixed on carnal instead of on spiritual things. Yet he also typifies the man who in this life consistently refuses to see aught that is lofty, and fixes his eyes with solemn intentness only on that which is vile and debasing. Now, it is very necessary that we should not flinch from seeing what is vile and debasing. There is filth on the floor and it must be scraped up with the muck-rake; and there are times and places where this service is the most needed of all the services that can be performed. But the man who never does anything else, who never thinks or speaks or writes, save of his feats with the muck-rake, speedily becomes, not a help to society, not an incitement to good, but one of the most potent forces for evil. There are, in the body politic, economic and social, many and grave evils, and there is urgent necessity for the sternest war upon them. There should be relentless exposure of and attack upon every evil man whether politician or business man, every evil practice, whether in politics, in business, or in social life. I hail as a benefactor every writer or speaker, every man who, on the platform, or in book, magazine, or newspaper, with merciless severity makes such attack, provided always that he in his turn remembers that the attack is of use only if it is absolutely truthful. . . To assail the great and admitted evils of our political and industrial life with such crude and sweeping generalizations as to include decent men in the general condemnation means the searing of the public conscience. There results a general attitude either of cynical belief in and indifference to public corruption or else of a distrustful inability to discriminate between the good and the bad. Either attitude is fraught with untold damage to the country as a whole. The fool who has not sense to discriminate between what is good and what is bad is well-nigh as dangerous as the man who does discriminate and yet chooses the bad.
