Explain why the square root of a number or variable can be either positive or negative.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Well, the answer is: it depends on what was printed in the problem. The principal square root symbol never has a negative output, so if the test maker printed that symbol, it’s restrictions have to be respected: all square roots then are positive.

Step-by-step explanation:

a number y whose square (the result of multiplying the number by itself, or y ⋅ y) is x. For example, 4 and −4 are square roots of 16, because 4² = (−4)² = 16. Every nonnegative real number x has a unique nonnegative square root, called the principal square root, which is denoted by √(x), where the symbol √( ) is called the radical sign or radix.

Answer 2

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

The square root could be positive or negative because multiplying two negative numbers gives a positive number. The principal square root is the nonnegative number that when multiplied by itself equals a. The square root obtained using a calculator is the principal square root.

2 1/4 divided by 3/4 i need it fast tho-

Answers

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to divide 2 1/4 by 3/4

First convert 2 1/4 to an improper fraction

2 1/4 = (2*4 + 1)/4 = 9/4

Divide 9/4 by 3/4

(9/4)/(3/4)

The denominator of both the numerator and denominator are the same and can be canceled. This gives 9/3

Now cancel the common factor 3, which gives 3

The required value of 2 1/4 divided by 3/4 is 3

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Use KCF method

Keep the first

Change division to multiplication

Flip the second

[tex]2\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{9}{4}\\\\\[/tex]

9/4 ÷ 3/4

[tex]= \dfrac{9}{4}*\dfrac{4}{3}\\\\= 3[/tex]

solving systems of equations in three variables

Answers

Answer:

A: (x = 34, y = -27, z = -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug the variables in. It might be tedious, but it guarantees you get it right.

Let's try A first. 2(34) + 2(-27) + 6(-1) = 8. Is this correct? Yes. However, you gotta plug it in for the other three equations. 5(34) + 6(-27) + 5(-1) = 3. Is this correct? Yes again. One last equation. 5(34) + 6(-27) + 3(-1) = 5. That's correct as well. The answer is A.

In case you still weren't sure if the answer was A or not;

B: 2(33) + 2(-26) + 6(0) = 14. Right away we can see that B will be incorrect.

C: 2(35) + 2(-28) + 6(-2) = 2. Again, incorrect.

D: 2(36) + 2(-29) + 6(1) = 20. Incorrect!

A is the correct answer.

Need help me​

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

a. 17 + 6/10 = (17 x 10) / (1 x 10) + 6/10 = 170/10 + 6/10 = 176/10 = 17,6

b. 45 + 6/100 = (45 x 100) / (1 x 100) + 6/100 = 4 500/100 + 6/100 = 4 506/100 = 45,06

c. 3 + 5/10 + 2/100

= (3 x 100) / (1 x 100) + (5 x 10) / (10 x 10) + 2/100

= 300/100 + 50/100 + 2/100

= 352/100 = 3,52

d. 6 + 7/10 + 8/100 + 9/1 000

= (6 x 1 000) / (1 x 1 000) + (7 x 100) / (10 x 100) + (8 x 10) / (100 x 10) + 9/1 000

= 6 000/1 000 + 700/1 000 + 80/1 000 + 9/1 000

= 6 789/1 000 = 6,789

e. 11 + 6/10 + 8/1 000

= (11 x 1 000) / (1 x 1 000) + (6 x 100) / (10 x 100) + 8/1 000

= 11 000/1 000 + 600/1 000 + 8/1 000

= 11 608/1 000 = 11,608

f. 84 + 1/100 + 3/10

= (84 x 100) / (1 x 100) + 1/100 + (3 x 10) / (10 x 10)

= 8 400/100 + 1/100 + 30/100

= 8 431/100 = 84,31.
