Part A

The reason why the (√(-x)) is not necessarily undefined, is because x is a placeholder, such that x can take on a negative value for which  (-x) is a positive number, therefore, √(-x) = √(+ve number) is a defined real number.

Part B

The domain is x ≤ 0

The range is f(x) ≥ 0

<h3>What is Real Number?</h3>

A real number is a value of a continuous quantity that can represent a distance along a line.

Here, The given and required information:

Given that √(-144) = Undefined, why is √(-x) not necessarily undefined

The given function, f(x) = √(-x)

Part A

The square root of a real number with a negative value is an imaginary number

The square root of a real number with a positive value or zero, is a real number

√(144) = ±12

A variable, x, is an input value of a function that is a quantity place holder in the function which is a function argument

The given function is f(x) = √(-x)

Where;

x = An argument of the function

When x ≤ 0, such that x is a negative real number or zero, we have;

x = R⁻ or 0

Therefore;

-x= -R⁻ or 0 = R⁺ or 0

-x = R⁺

From which we get;

f(-x)= √(-x) = √(R⁺) = Defined

f(-x) = √(R⁺) ≥ 0 The range of the function is f(x) ≥ 0

An example, when x = -16, we have;

-x = -(-16) = 16

√(-x) √(16) = 4 (Defined)

Part B;

Thee domain where the function is defined is where x = -R⁻,  x ≤ 0

The output of the function f(x) is defined which is the range = f(x) ≥ 0

Thus, the reason why the √(-x) is not  necessarily undefined, is because the value of x can represent a negative real number or zero.

I’ll give brainliest
Alex

Answer:

84

Step-by-step explanation:

x = number of girls

The total for boys is 2x * 81 and for girls it would be 90x

Therefore, the equation goes like this:

2x * 81 + 90x

Then simplify, and set to equal 3x...

3x = 252

Which is the same as

x = 84

Thank me later :)

A circular mirror is surrounded by a square metal frame. The radius of the mirror is 2x. The side length of the metal frame is 8
Schach [20]

Answer:

183.43x2

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the entire frame = (14x)2 = 196x2

Area of the mirror = pi(2x)2 = 4x2(pi)

Area of the frame surrounding the mirror = (196 - 4pi)x2 = 183.43x2
