General Formulas and Concepts:
<u>Pre-Algebra</u>
- Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
<u>Algebra I</u>
Equality Properties
Slope Formula:
Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b
- m - slope
- b - y-intercept
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Step 1: Define</u>
Point (-4, 47)
Point (2, -16)
<u>Step 2: Find slope </u><em><u>m</u></em>
- Substitute:
- Subtract/Add:
- Simplify:
<u>Step 3: Find y-intercept </u><em><u>b</u></em>
- Define: y = 21/2x + b
- Substitute: -16 = 21/2(2) + b
- Multiply: -16 = 21 + b
- Isolate <em>b</em>: -37 = b
- Rewrite: b = -37
<u>Step 4: Write linear equation</u>
<em>Combine all parts.</em>
y = 21/2x - 37
y = 10.5x - 37
And we have our final answer!
Answer:
Part A) The number line in the attached figure
Part B) The absolute value equation is
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A) Represent these two distances on a number line
we know that
The minimum distance between two fence posts is 4 feet, and the maximum distance is 10 feet
Let
x ----> the distance between the two fence post
so
The interval is -------> [4,10]
using a graphing tool
see the attached figure
In a number line the solution is the shaded area at right of x=4 (close circle) and at the left of x=10 (close circle)
Part B) Write an absolute value equation that represents the minimum and maximum distances
Find the midpoint of the interval [4,10]
substitute the values
The distance from the midpoint to the endpoints of the interval is 3 feet
so
The absolute value equation is
<em>Verify</em>
<u>Solve the absolute value</u>
case 1) positive value
Solve for x
----> maximum distance
case 2) negative value
Solve for x
----> minimum distance
