Solve the following absolute value equation. −8 − 2 |5X – 17| = −14

Mathematics

Levart [38]2 years ago
4 0

If 5x - 17 ≥ 0, then |5x - 17| = 5x - 17 and the equation reduces to

-8 - 2 (5x - 17) = -14

-8 - 10x + 34 = -14

-10x = -40

x = 4

If 5x - 17 < 0, then |5x - 17| = -(5x - 17) = -5x + 17 and we have

-8 - 2 (-5x + 17) = -14

-8 + 10x - 34 = -14

10x = 28

x = 2.8

The expressions formed are,

  1. 12f -5
  2. (k+6)/2
  3. x²-x+5
  4. ab+3c
  5. 24xy+g

Formation of expressions in 1, 2 and 3:

In 1, twelve times f is, 12f

Taking away 5, it becomes (12f-5)

In 2, sum of k and 6 is, (k+6)

One-half of the above quantity is, (k+6)/2

In 3, sum of 5 with x is, (x+5)

Now, x squared minus the above expression indicates (x²-x+5)

Formation of expressions in 4 and 5:

In 4, product of a and b, is ab and 3 times c is 3c

Sum of the expressions evaluated in the previous statement = ab+3c

In 5, 24 times the product of x and y is, 24xy

Adding, g in the above computed expression, we get, 24xy+g

what is a more accurate method for approximating the volume of the spherical slab other than using just cylindrical slabs.
jasenka [17]

A more accurate method for approximating the volume of the spherical slab other than using just cylindrical slabs is the; use the cross sections of the actual sphere, and to not use the cylindrical slabs.

<h3>What is a Cylinder?</h3>

A Cylinder is a surface created by projecting a closed two-dimensional curve along an axis intersecting the plane of the curve.

Sphere

This is a regular three-dimensional object in which every cross-section is a circle; the figure described by the revolution of a circle about it's diameter.

Therefore, the use of cross sections of the actual sphere is a more accurate method for approximating the volume of the spherical slab.
