Question

I'll send a pic of the Homework

Answer 1

given the value of a and b in each set:

Set 1 :

`\begin{gathered} a=-(1)/(2),b=6 \\ \\ \end{gathered}`

We will find the value of the following :

`\begin{gathered} -a=-1\cdot-(1)/(2)=(1)/(2) \\ \\ -4b=-4\cdot6=-24 \\ \\ -a+b=(1)/(2)+6=6(1)/(2) \\ \\ a/-b=(1)/(2)/-6=(1)/(2)\cdot-(1)/(6)=-(1)/(12) \\ \\ a^2=(-(1)/(2))^2=(1)/(2)\cdot(1)/(2)=(1)/(4) \\ \\ b^3=6^3=216 \end{gathered}`

The expression with the largest value = b^3 = 216

The expression with the smallest value = -4b = -24

the expression which is closest to zero = a ÷ -b
