Answer:
graph c
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
| - 2x | = 4
The absolute value function always gives a positive result, however, the expression inside can be positive or negative , that is
- 2x = 4 or - (- 2x) = 4
Solving both
- 2x = 4 ( divide both sides by - 2 )
x = - 2
or
- (- 2x) = 4
2x = 4 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 2
The third graph indicates x = - 2 and x = 2 on the number line
<span>To minimize the perimeter you should always have a square.
sqrt(289) = 17
The dimensions should be 17 X 17
To see , try starting at length 1, and gradually increase the length.
The height decreases at a faster rate than the length increases, up until you reach a square.
Or if you want to use algebra, Say the width is 17-x
Then the length is 289/(17-x)
Now, this is bigger than 17+x, as shown here:
289/(17-x) > 17+x
289 > 289 - x^2
which is true.
so the perimeter would be bigger than 2 * (17- x + 17 + x) = 2 * (2 * 17) = 4 * 17
Again, the dimensions should be a square. 17 X 17.</span>
