The answer is C.
You want:
10 < a < 14 (greater or equal)
The difference between 10 and 12 is 2.
The difference between 12 and 14 is 2.
Therefore the absolute value allows you to express that the difference between a and 12 cannot be greater than 2 (either going up to a max of 14 or going down to a minimum of 10).
Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
In one month, 6 fish
If it doubles every month, then in the 2nd month, there will be 12 fish
You find this value by factoring. Factoring finds the zeros of the function. When the ball hits the ground, it has 0 height. Therefore, when the function goes through the x axis, it has a y value of 0. That means that when y = 0, the ball has hit the ground. Use the quadratic formula to factor

. Notice I rearranged the terms. When you factor that you get zeros of -3.19 and 2.19. The two things in math that will never EVER be negative are time and distance/length. Therefore, that tells us that the ball hits the ground 2.19 seconds after it was thrown.
