Solve for all values of y in simplest form. ∣y−12∣=16

Mathematics
1 answer:
Reil [10]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

y=-4; y=28

Step-by-step explanation:

The way I like to think about it, with absolute value meaning the distance is

"find which number are 16 apart from 12". Which means 28 (to the right) or -4 (to the left).

More formally, applying the definition of absolute value,

|y-12|=16 \leftrightarrow y-12=\pm16\\y-12=-16 \rightarrow y=-4\\y-12=+16 \rightarrow y=28

Find the inner product for (5,-1)*(-3,6) and state whether the vectors are perpendicular. a. 21; no c. -21; no b. 21; yes d. -21
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

c

Step-by-step explanation:

If the dot product of the vectors is zero then they are perpendicular

(5, - 1) • (- 3, 6)

= (5 × - 3) + (- 1 × 6) = - 15 + (- 6) = - 15 - 6 = - 21 ≠ 0

Since product is not zero vectors are not perpendicular
