Javier writes an integer on a piece of paper. The absolute value of his number is less than 4. Which is true of the possible val

mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer:

3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the inequality expression |x| < 4 where x is unknown. To her the possible values of x, we must undeterstand that the absolute value of a number returns both positive and negative value.

Hence |x| can either return +x or -x

If x is positive, the inequality expression will be x<4.

If the value of x is negative, then -x<4

From -x<4

Multiply both sides by minus sign will change the sense of the inequality sign.

-(-x) > -4

x>-4

If x is greater than -4, then -4<x.

Combining both inequality will give;

-4 < x and x<4

-4<x<4

Hence the possible values of Javier's number are integers between -4 and 4.

The values are -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3.

Isaac keeps track of the miles per gallon his car gets per week. He has accumulated the following data:

ipn [44]

we know that

A <u>geometric sequence</u> is a sequence of numbers in which the ratio between consecutive terms is constant

Let

$a1=24 \ a2=24.48\ a3=24.97\ a4=25.47$

$\frac{a2}{a1} = \frac{24.48}{24}= 1.02$

$a2=a1*1.02$

$\frac{a3}{a2} = \frac{24.97}{24.48}= 1.02$

$a3=a2*1.02$

$\frac{a4}{a3} = \frac{25.47}{24.97}= 1.02$

$a4=a3*1.02$

therefore

The common ratio is equal to $1.02$

<u>the answer is</u>

The common ratio is 1.02

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

When an expression contains more than one sign, the rule of BODMAS is applied. Bracket of Division Multiplication Addition and Subtraction. And the signs will be solved in that order.

6[4x(72-63) divided by 3]

We solve the bracket first

(72-63)

The next is multiplication, inside the bigger bracket.

6[4x9 divided by 3]

Then division

6(36 divided by 3)

6(12)
