Sagot :
Archimedes (287-212 B.C) --> - 287 birth year
Pythagoras (569-500 BC) ---> - 569 birth year
569 - 287 = 282 as years apart of their birth years
Pythagoras (569-500 BC) ---> - 569 birth year
569 - 287 = 282 as years apart of their birth years
The years apart that they were born is 282
How to express their years as a negative number?
Archimedes' birth year
We have the year range to be:
(287-212 B.C)
In the above years, the year of birth is:
287
As a negative number, we have;
-(-287)
Hence, Archimedes'birth as a negative number is -(-287)
Pythagoras' birth year
We have the year range to be:
(569-500 BC).
In the above years, the year of birth is:
569
As a negative number, we have;
-(-569)
Hence, Pythagoras 'birth as a negative number is -(-287)
The years apart that they were born
This is the difference between their birth years.
So, we have:
Years = -(-569) - -(-287)
Evaluate
Years = 282
Hence, the years apart that they were born is 282
