|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

Which is the graph of f(x) = x2 – 2x + 3?
icang [17]
To find the graph of f(x) = x^2 - 2x + 3, you can either plug in values into where the x variable stands and solve for their corresponding y-values or you can also use your graphing calculator or even Desmos works!
