Why is the opposite of a number also called the additive inverse

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: This number is also known as the opposite (number), sign change, and negation. For a real number, it reverses its sign: the opposite to a positive number is negative, and the opposite to a negative number is positive. Zero is the additive inverse of itself.

Help 2,4+0,8=.......-0,06=........+1,21=.......+1,78=....-5,14=.

Answers

Lets write this out:-

2.4 + 0.8 =______ - 0.06 = _____+ 1.21=_____+1.78=_____- 5.14=___

So to solve d blanks we will do d following:-

2.4 + 0.8 = 3.2

Now lets write this out AGAIN.

2.4 + 0.8 = 3.2 - 0.06 = _____+ 1.21=_____+1.78=_____- 5.14=___

Now lets solve again:-

3.2 - 0.06 = 3.14 

Now lets write this out AGAIN.

2.4 + 0.8 = 3.2 - 0.06 = 3.14 + 1.21=_____+1.78=_____- 5.14=___

Now lets solve again:-

3.14 + 1.21= 4.25

Now lets write this out AGAIN.

2.4 + 0.8 = 3.2 - 0.06 = 3.14 + 1.21 = 4.25 +1.78=_____- 5.14=___

Now lets solve again:-

4.25 +1.78= 6.03

Now lets write this out AGAIN.

2.4 + 0.8 = 3.2 - 0.06 = 3.14 + 1.21 = 4.25 +1.78= 6.03 - 5.14=___

Now lets solve again:-

6.03 - 5.14 = 0.89

Now lets write this out AGAIN.

2.4 + 0.8 = 3.2 - 0.06 = 3.14 + 1.21 = 4.25 +1.78= 6.03 - 5.14= 0.89

So, 2.4 + 0.8 = 3.2 - 0.06 = 3.14 + 1.21 = 4.25 +1.78= 6.03 - 5.14= 0.89

Students sold 400 tickets to the spring band concert. The students sold adult and child (under 12 years old) tickets. Each adult ticket was $5.00 and each child ticket was $2.00. The total amount of money earned from the sale of tickets was $1475

Answers

You will have a system of equations.
Let's say that the number of adult tickets sold is x. The number of child ticket sold is y.
We know that they sold 400 tickets, so: x + y = 400
We also know that they earned $1475
An adult ticket is $5 and a child ticket is $2, so: x * 5 + y * 2 = 1475
Because x + y = 400, we know that y = 400 - x. We use this in the main equation instead of the variable y:
x * 5 + (400-x) * 2 = 1475
5x + 800 - 2x = 1475
3x + 800 = 1475
3x = 675
x = 225

Because x + y = 400, we can calculate that y = 175

They sold 225 adult tickets and 175 child tickets.

18 is 20℅ of what of number?

Answers

18 is 20% of 90 

Change the percentage into a decimal by dividing it over 100:
(20)/(100) = 0.2

Divide 18 by 0.2:
(18)/(0.2) = 90
18 is 20% of 90.
18/90= 0.2 OR 20%

Which of these pairs of points defines a line with a slope -4/3?A) (-1, 6) and (-4, 10)
B) (6, -1) and (-4, 10)
C) (-1, 6) and (10, -4)
D) (6, -1) and (10, -4

Answers

The point pair establishing a line with a slope of -4/3 is  (-1, 6) and (-4, 10). which is the correct answer would be an option (A).

What is the slope of the line?

The slope of a line is defined as the gradient of the line.

To determine the slope of a line, we can use the formula: slope m = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ -x₁ )

Using this formula, we can calculate the slope for each of the pairs of points given:

A) (-1, 6) and (-4, 10):

slope = (10 - 6)/(-4 - (-1)) = -4/3

B) (6, -1) and (-4, 10):

slope = (10 - (-1))/(-4 - 6) = -11/10

C) (-1, 6) and (10, -4):

slope = (-4 - 6)/(10 - (-1)) = -10/11

D) (6, -1) and (10, -4):

slope = (-4 - (-1))/(10 - 6) = -3/4

Therefore, the pair of points that defines a line with a slope of -4/3 is (-1, 6) and (-4, 10).

What are the amplitude, period, and midline of a function?

Answers

Answer:

Some functions repeat forever (sine and cosine) and those functions are known as periodic functions.

The period goes from from any point to the next matching point or one peak to the next peak.

The mid line or center line is a horizontal axis about which the graph of a periodic function oscillates.

The amplitude is the height from the mid line to the peak .
