If you multiply four negative numbers, what is the sign of the product?

If you multiply five negative numbers, what is the sign of the product?

Based on the answers to these questions and the product rules, write a general rule for the sign of the product based on the number of
negative numbers in the expression.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

positive

Step-by-step explanation:

(-a) (-a) (-a) (-a) = a

(-a)(-a) = a

a (-a) = -a

-a (-a) = a --> positive sign

Answer 2

If you multiply four negative numbers, what is the sign of the product?

You can test this with numbers, the easiest with -1:

(-1)(-1)(-1)(-1) = (1)(-1)(-1) = (-1)(-1) =  1

General:

(-a)(-b)(-c)(-d) = abcd

The sign of the product of four negative numbers is positive.

If you multiply five negative numbers, what is the sign of the product?

Testing with -1:

(-1)(-1)(-1)(-1)(-1) = (1)(-1)(-1)(-1) = (-1)(-1)(-1) = (1)(-1) -1

General:

(-a)(-b)(-c)(-d)(-e) = -abcde

The sign of the product of five negative numbers is negative.

General rule: The product of an even number of negative numbers is positive. The product of an odd number of negative numbers is negative.

The range of the exponential function will be y ≥ 250,0003. Then the correct option is B.

What are domain and range?

The domain means all the possible values of x and the range means all the possible values of y.

The Population Of Center City Is Modeled By Exponential Function F, Where X Is The Number Of Years After The Year 2015.

The graph is given below.

We know that the exponential function is given as

y = abˣ

For x = 0, y will be 250,000

250,000 = a

For x = 40, y will be 400,000

400,000 = 250,000b⁴⁰

           b = 1.0118

Then we have

y = 250,000 (1.0118)ˣ

Then the range of the exponential function will be y ≥ 250,0003.

The correct answer is option D which is both Jason’s sample and Yolanda’s sample can be used to make inferences about the population

The complete question is given below:-

Jason and Yolanda both drew a simple random sample from a non-normally distributed population of 25,000. Jason’s sample consisted of 0.24% of the population, while Yolanda’s sample consisted of 0.32% of the population. Whose sample can be used to make inferences about the population?

neither Jason’s sample nor Yolanda’s sample

only Jason’s sample

only Yolanda’s sample

both Jason’s sample and Yolanda’s sample

What is probability?

Probability is defined as the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes in other words the probability is the number that shows the happening of the event.

Since we have given that

Total number of population = 25000

Percent of a sample of Jason = 0.24%

Percent of a sample of Yolanda's = 0.32%

So, the number of the population according to Jason's sample is given by

= ( 0.24 / 100 ) x 25000

= 60

The number of the population according to Yolanda's sample is given by

= ( 0.32 / 100 ) x 25000

= 80

Both the sample can be used to make inferences about the population

Each card in a standard deck of 52 playing cards is unique and belongs to 111 of 444 suits:
13 cards are clubs
13 cards are diamonds
13 cards are hearts
13 cards are spades
Suppose that Luisa randomly draws 4 cards without replacement.
What is the probability that Luisa gets 2 diamonds and 2 hearts (in any order)?

Answers

The probability that Luisa gets 2 diamonds and 2 hearts (in any order) is:

P = 0.022

How to get the probability?

The probability of getting a particular type of card, is given by the quotient between the number of cards of that type and the total number of cards.

Here, let's assume that the 4 draws are:

diamond-diamond-heart-heart.

In that order.

First, the probability of drawing a diamond card is equal to:

p₁ = 13/52

Because there are 13 diamond cards and 52 cards in total.

Bt after that draw, there will be 12 diamond cards and 51 cards in total, so the probability of getting the second diamond card is:

p₂ = 12/51.

Now, there are 13 heart cards and 50 cards in the deck, so the probability of getting the first heart card is:

p₃ = 13/50

And the probability of getting the second one is:

p₄ = 12/49.

The joint probability will be the product of the 4 individual probabilities, but we also need to take in account the possible permutations, these are:

(using D for diamond and H for heart).

D - D - H - H

D - H - D - H

D - H - H - D

H - D - D - H

H - D - H - D

H - H - D - D

So there are 6 permutations, this means that the probability is:

P = 6*p₁*p₂*p₃*p₄ = 6*(13/52)*(12/51)*(13/50)*(12/49) = 0.022

Answer:

  B.  180° about the origin

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given a figure and its image, and asked to determine the angle of rotation. All of the answer choices indicate the center of rotation is the origin.

__

You have two clues that the rotation is 180° about the origin:

The original figure is in the 2nd quadrant, and the image is in the 4th quadrant, directly opposite the origin.Line ST is directed to the northeast; line S'T' is directed to the southwest, in exactly the opposite direction.

__

To find the angle of rotation, you can look at the angle formed by a point, the center of rotation, and the image of the original point. Here, the angle UOU' is a straight angle, so the angle of rotation about O is 180°--the measure of that angle. (It can be convenient to use points close to the center of rotation, but any corresponding points on preimage and image will do.)

Answers

Beth's description of the transformation is incorrect

Complete question

Beth says that the graph of g(x)=x-5+1 is a translation of 5 units to the left and 1 unit up of f(x) = x. She continues to explain that the point (0,0) on the square root function would be translated to the point (-5,1) on the graph of g(x). Is Beth's description of the transformation correct? Explain

How to determine the true statement?

The functions are given as:

g(x) = x - 5 + 1

f(x) = x

When the function f(x) is translated 5 units left, we have:

f(x + 5) = x + 5

When the above function is translated 1 unit up, we have:

f(x + 5) + 1 = x + 5 + 1

This means that the actual equation of g(x) should be

g(x) = x + 5 + 1

And not g(x) = x - 5 + 1

By comparison;

g(x) = x - 5 + 1 and g(x) = x + 5 + 1  are not the same

Hence, Beth's description of the transformation is incorrect

The expected number of $20 gift certificates drawn is 2.083

How to find the Probability?

This is a question of picking objects from a mixture without replacement. The modelling distribution is the hypergeometric distribution, given by the formula:

P(a) = C(A,a) * C(B,b)/C(A+B,a+b)

Where;

a = number of good objects picked

b = number of bad objects picked.

A = number of good objects in the given batch.

B = number of bad objects in the given batch.

a + b = total number of objects picked without replacement.

A + B = total number of objects in the batch.

A) In this question;

A = 4 ($10, good)

B = 3 + 5 = 8 ($20, $50, "bad")

a = 0, b = 5

a + b = 5

Thus;

P(a = 0) = C(4, 0) × C(8, 5)/C(12, 5)

P(a = 0) = 1 × 56/792

P(a = 0) = 7/99

B) $20 is the "good" prize.

Thus;

A = 5

B = 3 + 4 = 7

a + b = 5 (total number of prizes drawn)

Thus;

E[$20] = (5/(5 + 3 + 4)*5)

E[$20] = (5/12)*5

E[$20] = 25/12

E[$20] = 2.083

Find all angles, 0≤θ<360, that satisfy the equation below, to the nearest 10th of a degree.

Answers

Since cosine is negative in the second and 3rd quadrant, the required angles are 120 and 240 degrees

Trigonometry identity

Trigonometry identities are expressed as a function of cosine, sine and tangent.

Given the trigonometry expression shown

4cos2θ+9=−14cosθ

Equate to zero

4cos2θ+9 + 14cosθ = 0

According to trig identity

cos2θ = 2cos²θ - 1

Substitute to have:

4(2cos²θ - 1)+9 + 14cosθ = 0

Expand

8cos²θ - 4 + 9 + 14cosθ = 0

8cos²θ+ 14cosθ + 5 = 0

let P = cosθ to have;

8P² + 14P + 5 = 0

Factorize the result

8P² + 10P + 4P + 5 = 0

2P(4P+5)+1(4P+5)=0
(2P+1) = 0 and 4P+5 = 0
2P = -1 and P = -5/4

P = -1/2 and -5/4

Recall that P = cosθ

If P = -1/2
