Question

Avni designs a game in which a player either wins or loses 4 points during each turn. Which equation represents all numbers of points, p, a player may have after his or her first turn of the game? A. p = 4 B. p = –4 C. |p| = 4 D. |p| = –4

Answer 1

C |p| = 4

Explanation:

If a player wins 4points during each turn, then, the total points will be +4points

If the player looses 4points, total points lost will be -4points

The total number of point p the player can have will be represented as;

|p| = 4 (since is both positive and negative 4 )

Note that the nodulus of a variable will return both positive and negative value of that variable
