|z - 1|  = 7z - 13
either:
z - 1 = 7z - 13
and in that case:
- 1 + 13 = 7z - z
12 = 6z
z = 12 \div 6 = 2
or:
z - 1 =  - 7z + 13
and in that case
z + 7z = 13 + 1
8z = 14
z = 14 \times 8 = 1.75
So; the answer is: either 2 or 1.75

Given:  |z-1| = 7z - 13

Due to the absolute value function, this equation yields two separate equations:

+(z-1) = 7z - 13, and

-(z-1) = 7z - 13.

Simplifying the first, we get z - 1 = 7z - 13, or

                                               -1 + 13 = 7z - z, or 12 = 6 z.  Then z = 2.

Doing the same to the 2nd equation:   -z + 1 = 7z - 13, or 14 = 8z, or z = 7/4.

We must check both results by subst. into  |z-1| = 7z - 13:

If z = 2, we get 2 - 1 = 14 - 13, or 1 = 1.  Thus, z = 2 is a solution.

If z = 7/4, we get 3/4 = 7(7/4) - 13, or   3/4 = 49/4 - 52.  This is clearly false.

The (single) solution is thus z = 2

Graph the system of equations. Then determine whether the system has no solution, one solution, or infinitely many solutions. If
natima [27]

Answer:

  d)  one solution; (4, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

It often works well to follow problem directions. A graph is attached, showing the one solution to be (4, 1).

_____

You know there will be one solution because the lines have different slopes. Each is in the form ...

  y = mx + b

where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

The first line has slope -1 and y-intercept +5; the second line has slope 1 and y-intercept -3. The slope is the number of units of "rise" for each unit of "run", so it can be convenient to graph these by starting at the y-intercept and plotting points with those rise and run from the point you know.

What is the factored form of this expression? 4t2 − 27t + 18
seraphim [82]

Answer:

(4t − 3) (t − 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Using AC method:

Given a quadratic ax² + bx + c, find factors of ac that add up to b.  Divide those factors by a and reduce.  The denominators become the coefficients and the numerators become the constants.

Here, a = 4, b = -27, and c = 18.

ac = 4 × 18 = 72

Factors of 72 that add up to -27: -3 and -24

Divide factors by a: -3/4 and -24/4

Reduce: -3/4 and -6/1

So the factored expression is:

(4t − 3) (t − 6)
