Question: -|a-b| where a = 7, b = -3

Steps:

1. Plug it in:

-|7-(-3)|

2. Simplify:

-|7+3|

= -|10|

But since its |10| = -10

-(-10) = +10

So, the answer to this is 10.


Hope this helped!!!

Help, don’t understand this problem.
Mila [183]

Answer:

(2, 3 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

3x - 5y = - 9 → (1)

x + 2y = 8 → (2)

Multiplying (2) by - 3 and adding to (1) will eliminate the x- term, that is

- 3x - 6y = - 24 → (3)

Add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate x

(3x - 3x) + (- 5y - 6y) = (- 9 - 24), that is

- 11y = - 33 ( divide both sides by - 11 )

y = 3

Substitute y = 3 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x

Substituting in (2)

x + 2(3) = 8

x + 6 = 8 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

x = 2

Solution is (2, 3 )

Help with A and B plzzzz
Digiron [165]

a.) The height of the closet is 96 inches, and you want to have 4 rows, so you divide the total height 96 by 4

96 ÷ 4 = 24

So each cube organizer can be a height of 24 inches since it divides out evenly


b.) Each shoe box is 4 1/2 inches, because there are 3 boxes that are stacked on top of each other, you can multiply 4 1/2 by 3, or you can do 4 1/2 + 4 1/2 + 4 1/2.

4 1/2 + 4 1/2 + 4 1/2 = 12 3/2 = 13 1/2

The total height of the 3 boxes is 13 1/2

How do you do series with an n
SOVA2 [1]
The problem can be solved step by step, if we know certain basic rules of summation.  Following rules assume summation limits are identical.
\sum{a+b}=\sum{a}+\sum{b}
\sum{kx}=k\sum{x}
\sum_{r=1}^n{1}=n
\sum_{r=1}^n{r}=n(n+1)/2

Armed with the above rules, we can split up the summation into simple terms:
\sum_{r=1}^n{40r-21n+8}=n
=40\sum_{r=1}^n{r}-21n\sum_{r=1}^n{1}+8\sum_{r=1}^n{1}
=40\frac{n(n+1)}{2}-21n^2+8n
=20n(n+1)-21n^2+8n
=28n-n^2

=> (a) f(x)=28n-n^2
=> f'(x)=28-2n 
=> at f'(x)=0 => x=14
Since f''(x)=-2 <0  therefore f(14) is a maximum
(b) f(x) is a maximum when n=14

(c) the maximum value of f(x) is f(14)=196

Find the range of the following piecewise function.
Anna11 [10]

Given:

The piecewise function is

f(x)=\begin{cases}x+4 & \text{ if } -4\leq x

To find:

The range of given piecewise function.

Solution:

Range is the set of output values.

Both functions f(x)=x+4 and f(x)=2x-1 as linear functions.

Starting value of f(x)=x+4 is at x=-4 and end value is at x=3.

Starting value: f(-4)=-4+4=0

End value: f(3)=3+4=7

Starting value of f(x)=2x-1 is at x=3 and end value is at x=6.

Starting value: f(3)=2(3)-1=5

End value: f(6)=2(6)-1=11

Least range value is 0 at x=-4 and 0 is included in the range because -4 is included in the domain.

Largest range value is 11 at x=6 and 11 is not included in the range because 6 is not included in the domain.

So, the range of the given piecewise function is [0,11).

Therefore, the correct option is A.

Which equation represents a line that has a slope of 1/3 and passes through point (–2, 1)?
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

The equation would be y - 1 = 1/3(x + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find this, we simply plug the values we have into point slope form.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 1 = 1/3(x - -2)

y - 1 = 1/3(x + 2)
