74 False Two numbers with different signs will always
have a product less than zero
75 The product of two negative numbers is positive
76 (a) Because the price can only be a positive rational
number with at most two decimal places, the description matches graph (ii)
(b) Because the distance is a positive real number, the description matches graph (i)
A range of prices can only include zero and positive numbers with at most two decimal places So, a range of prices can be represented by whole numbers and some noninteger positive fractions
A range of lengths can only include positive numbers So, a range of lengths can be represented
by positive real numbers

112. (a) The formula for volume of the glass cube is
V = Length × Width × Height
The volume of water in the cube is the length × width × height of the water
So, the volume is x x⋅ ⋅(x −3) = x x2( − 3)(b) Given the equation x x2( −3) = 320 The dimensions of the glass cube can be found by solving for x Then, substitute that value into the

(e) Answers will vary
97 False, you would have to use the Midpoint Formula
100. True Depending upon the center and radius, the graph of
a circle could intersect one, both, or neither axis
101. Answers will vary Sample answer: When the x-values are much larger or smaller than the y-values, different
scales for the coordinate axes should be used
102 The y-coordinate of a point on the x-axis is 0 The
x-coordinates of a point on the y-axis is 0
103 Use the Midpoint Formula to prove the diagonals of the
parallelogram bisect each other
104 (a) Because (x y lies in Quadrant II, 0, 0) (x0,−y0)must
lie in Quadrant III Matches (ii)
(b) Because (x y lies in Quadrant II, 0, 0) (−2 ,x y0 0)must lie in Quadrant I Matches (iii)
