    MHB What are the factors of -48 that result in a positive sum?

    ok I don't don't know de jure on this so ... is it just plug and play?? find factors of -48 $-1(48)=-48$ $-2(24)=-48$ $-3(16)=-48$ $-4(12)=-48$ $-6(8)=-48$ check sums for positive number $-1+48=47$ $-2+24=22$ $-3+16=13$ $-4+12=8$ $-6+8=2$it looks like c. 5

    MHB *gre.al.9 GRE Exam Inequality with modulus or absolute value

    given $|y+3|\le 4$ we don't know if y is plus or negative so $y+3\le 4 \Rightarrow y\le 1$ and $-(y+3)\le 4$ reverse the inequality $ y+3 \ge -4$ then isolate y $y \ge -7$ the interval is $-7 \le y \le 1$

    MHB 2.3.361 AP Calculus Exam of differentials of sin wave

    image due to graph, I tried to duplicate this sin wave on desmos but was not able to. so with sin and cos it just switches to back and forth for the derivatives so thot a this could be done just by observation but doesn't the graph move by the transformations well anyway?
