Answer:

{x|x < -2 or x > 8}

Step-by-step explanation:

|2x - 6| > 10

We split the inequality into two functions, one positive and one negative. The negative one flips the inequality. since this is greater than, this is an or problem

2x-6 >10 or 2x-6 < -10

Add 6 to each side

2x-6+6 > 10+6 2x-6+6 < -10+6

2x > 16 2x < -4

Divide by 2

2x/2 > 16/2 2x/2 < -4/2

x >8 or x < -2

ANSWER

{x|x < -2 or x > 8}

EXPLANATION

The given absolute inequality is

$|2x - 6| \: > \: 10$

By the definition of absolute value,

$(2x - 6)\: > \: 10 \: or \: \: - (2x - 6)\: > \: 10$

Multiply through the second inequality by -1 and reverse the inequality sign

$2x - 6\: > \: 10 \: or \: \: 2x - 6\: < \: - 10$

$2x \: > \: 10 + 6\: or \: \: 2x \: < \: - 10 + 6$

Simplify

$2x \: > \: 16\: or \: \: 2x \: < \: -4$

Divide through by 2

$x \: > \: 8\: or \: \: x \: < \: -2$

8/5x = 1

1.6x = 1

Work:

Add 7/3x and 1/3x to make 8/3x. Equation: 8/3x = 1 + 5/3x

Divide 8/3x by 5/3x, looks like 8 over 3 times 3 over 5. 3s cancel each other out, leaving 8/5x. Equation: 8/5x = 1

If needed to be simplified, 8/5 = 1.6.

A student is given that point P(a, b) lies on the terminal ray of angle Theta, which is between StartFraction 3 pi Over 2 EndFra

Harman [31]

Answer:

A.

The student made an error in step 3 because a is positive in Quadrant IV; therefore,

$cos\theta = \frac{a\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}}{a^2 + b^2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$P\ (a,b)$

$r = \± \sqrt{(a)^2 + (b)^2}$

$cos\theta = \frac{-a}{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}} = -\frac{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}}{a^2 + b^2}$

Required

Where and which error did the student make

Given that the angle is in the 4th quadrant;

The value of r is positive, a is positive but b is negative;

Hence;

$r = \sqrt{(a)^2 + (b)^2}$

Since a belongs to the x axis and b belongs to the y axis;

$cos\theta$ is calculated as thus

$cos\theta = \frac{a}{r}$

Substitute $r = \sqrt{(a)^2 + (b)^2}$

$cos\theta = \frac{a}{\sqrt{(a)^2 + (b)^2}}$

$cos\theta = \frac{a}{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}}$

Rationalize the denominator

$cos\theta = \frac{a}{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}} * \frac{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}}{\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}}$

$cos\theta = \frac{a\sqrt{a^2 + b^2}}{a^2 + b^2}$

So, from the list of given options;

The student's mistake is that a is positive in quadrant iv and his error is in step 3

Please help!!!!!! find the area of the whole rectangle.

Olegator [25]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a rec tangle is A x W

but first you have to find the area of the triangle wich is going to be 127.5.

Then you have to multiply 127.5 times 15.

And that will give you 1,912.5.

I think this is correct, but im not sure.
