The value of negative integers decreases the further we get from the 0 point on the number line.
Therefore, if we arrange the numbers in ascending order ignoring the negative sign, the numbers will be in descending order when the negative sign is included.
By the definition above, we can say that the smallest number of the lot is -78 and the largest one is -41.
The numbers can be ordered from least to greatest as shown below:
OPTION D is the correct answer.
Answer:
(You only need to give one solution)
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the following equation
First, we need to foil out the parenthesis
Now we can combine the like terms
Now, we need to factor this equation.
To factor this, we need to find a set of numbers that add together to get -3 and multiply to give us -4.
The pair of numbers that would do this would be 1 and -4.
This means that our factored form would be
As the first binomial is a difference of squares, it can be factored futher into
Now, we can get our solutions.
The first binomial will produce two complex (Not real) solutions.
So our solutions to this equation are
