What is the solution set for [-x]=10

1 answer:

6 0

X = -10

Because it is the "absolute value" of "10"

Here's why

-X - 10 = 0, right ?

So, now we have to add a positive 10 to each of our sides to get one step closer to our answer

-X + 10 = 0 ⬅️cancel this
0 + 10 = 10 ⬅️keep this

We can multiply by a negative 1 (-1 )

10(-1) = -10
0(-1) = -0

So that's how we found out that X = -10

Y = x² - 4x + 4
y = 2x - 4

Find intersection of L and C:
x² - 4x + 4 = 2x - 4
x² - 6x + 8 = 0
 (x - 2)(x - 4) = 0
x = 2 or x = 4

When x = 2 , y = 2(2) - 4 = 0
When x = 4, y = 2(4) - 4 = 4

Points of intersection = A(2, 0) and B(4, 4)

Find the length of AB:

 $
\text {Length of AB}= \sqrt{(4-0)^2 + (4-2)^2} = \sqrt{16 + 4} = \sqrt{20} = 4.47 \text{ units}$

Answer: 4.47 units

jason runs 440 yards in 75 seconds.At this rate how many minutes does it take him to run a mile? (1 mile = 1,760 yards)

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer: 5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 1760 yards are in a mile. We can convert the given info into a proportion. 440/75 = 1760/x, where x is the number of seconds it takes to run a mile. Cross-multiply to get 440x = 75*1760. Divide both sides by 440 to get x = 75*4 = 300 seconds. The problem asks for how many minutes so you have to convert 300 seconds to minutes. To do this, we have to divide 300 by 60 to get 5 minutes.
