Is -3.8 bigger less than or equal to -4 1 / 2

Bigger

Step-by-step explanation:

-3.8 is bigger because negative numbers closer to 0 are actually bigger than negative numbers farther away.

If is broken down into simpler form it becomes -9/2 which reduces to -4.5 in decimal form. -4.5 is farther away from 0 on a number line thus it is smaller. Thus -3.8 > -4.5

answer: 25.4 units

step-by-step explanation: radius = 12.7 units

diameter = twice the radius

diameter = 12.7 x 2

= 25.4

x = ±sqrt(10)

step-by-step explanation:

5 - 2x² = -15

subtract 5 from each side

5-5 - 2x² = -15-5

-2x^2   = -20

divide by -2 on each side

-2x^2   /-2= -20/-2

x^2 =10

take the square root on each side

sqrt(x^2 )=±sqrt(10)

x = ±sqrt(10)

check:

5 - 2x² = -15

+sqrt(10)

5 - 2(sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15

-sqrt(10)

5 - 2(-sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15
