What is the value of h(-7)<br><br> h(x) =|3x| -1

Art [367]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

h(-7) just means that inside the x value, you replace the x with a -7.

h(-7) = |3x| - 1

h(-7) = | 3(-7)| - 1

h(-7) = | -21 | - 1

NOTE: -21 is inside |x|, those straight lines mean absolute value. No matter what, any negative number would turn into a positive one. And if it’s posititve, then it stays positive.

h(-7) = 21 - 1

h(-7) = 20

Write a quadratic equation in standard form with the given roots

stich3 [128]

${x}^{2} - \frac{15x}{2} + \frac{7}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

So we go backwards, since we have x= 1/2 , 7

$(x - \frac{1}{2} )(x - 7)$

Now we have to foil to get the quadratic

${x}^{2} - 7x - \frac{1}{2} x + \frac{7}{2}$

We must simplify the terms

${x}^{2} - \frac{14x}{2} - \frac{x}{2} + \frac{7}{2}$

Our final result comes out to be

${x}^{2} - \frac{15x}{2} + \frac{7}{2}$

If 3a-2b= 8 and a+3b=7 what is the value of 4a+b?

Fittoniya [83]

Step 1: Find the value of one variable in terms of the other.

$a+3b=7\\a=7-3b$

Step 2: Substitute the value you just found for this variable in the other equation.

$3a-2b=8\\3(7-3b)-2b=8\\21-9b-2b=8\\21-11b=8\\21=8+11b\\13=11b\\\frac{13}{11}=b\\ b=1\frac{2}{11}$

Step 3: Use your new value for the second variable to find the first.

$a+3b=7\\a+3(1\frac{2}{11})=7\\a+3\frac{6}{11}=7\\\\a=3\frac{5}{11}$

Now that we know the values for a and b we can find the value of 4a+b.

$4a+b\\4(3\frac{5}{11})+1\frac{2}{11}\\12+\frac{20}{11}+1\frac{2}{11}\\\\12+1\frac{9}{11}+1\frac{2}{11}\\\\\boxed{15}$
