The value of x in the given expression can be either -41 or 45. The correct option is B.

<h3>What is Absolute Value?</h3>

An absolute value of |x| {modulus of x} is the value of a real number x, the value we get is always a non-negative number, for example, |-5| will give 5, and also, |5| will give 5 as well.

Given the modulus function (1/5)|x - 4| - 3 = 6. Now, there will be two cases of this because the value of x can be either negative, x<0 or it can positive, x>0. Therefore, the given modulus function can be solved as shown below.

  • When x>0,

(1/5)(x-4) - 3 = 6

(x/5) - (4/5) - 3 = 6

(x - 4 - 15)/5 = 6

x - 4 -15 = 30

x = 30 + 15 + 4

x = 45

  • When x<0

(1/5)(-x+4) - 3 = 6

(-x/5) + (4/5) - 3 = 6

(- x + 4 - 15)/5 = 6

- x + 4 -15 = 30

-x = 30 + 15 - 4

-x = 41

x = -41

Hence, the value of x in the given expression can be either -41 or 45.

What exponential function is the best fit for the data in the table?
gogolik [260]
Answer: fourth option

\frac{1}{4} 4^{x-1}-4

Explanation:

1) the pair x = 3 f(x) = 0, leads you to probe this:

f(3) = 0 = A [4 ^ (3 - 1) ] + C = 0

=> A [4^2] = - C

A[16] = - C

if A = 1/4

16 / 4 = 4 => C = - 4

That leads you to the function f(x) = [1/4] 4 ^( x - 1) - 4

2) Now you verify the images for that function for all the x-values of the table:

x = 2 => f(2) + [1/4] 4 ^ (2 - 1) - 4 = [1/4] 4 - 4 = 4 / 4 - 4 = 1 - 4 = - 3 => check

x = 3 => f(3) = [1/4] 4^ (3 - 1) - 4 = [1/4] 4^2 - 4 = 16 / 4 - 4 = 4 - 4 = 0 => check

x = 4 -> f(4) = [1/4] 4^ (4-1) - 4 = [1/4] 4^(3) - 4 = (4^3) / 4 - 4 = 4^2 - 4 = 16 - 4 = 12 => check.

Therefore, you have proved that the answer is the fourth option.

Common core question please help!!!
Maru [420]
She has 648 shirts.

Work:
Lisa has 42 pineapples. 4 + 2 = 6
Johnny has 6 marbles.
42 + 4 + 2 + 6 = 54
54 + 5 + 4 = 63
63 + 6 + 3 = 72
But 72 is a multiple of 6!
Let's go further:
72 * 6 = 432

Now let's look at the word 'shirt'.
The middle letter is I.
I is the 9th letter of the alphabet.
Remember the number 72?
72*9 = 648
