For example, the absolute value of 2 is 2, and the absolute value of −2 is also 2. The absolute value of a number may be thought of as its distance from zero along real number line.

Thus, it doesn't matter if the number is positive or negative. As it only counts its distance from 0, on the number line.

I hope it helps.

Which graph represents y=1/2x+2 please help!!

wel

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let’s first look at the y-intercept. Since the equation is in y = mx + b form, we know that m is the slope and b is the y-intercept, so the slope is 1/2 and the y-intercept is 2, or (0,2). We can narrow down our search by noticing that C and D don’t intersect (0,2). That leaves A and B.

The slope is calculated by (y_1 - y_2)/(x_1 - x_2) given points (x_1, y_1) and (x_2, y_2). The slope for A is (4-0)/(2-(-2)) = 4/4 = 1 and the slope for B is (2-0)/(0-(-4)) = 2/4 = 1/2. The slope of B matches the slope that we are looking for. So, the answer is B.

In this fulcrum, for the weights to be balance, what do the distances d1 and d2 have to be if the overall length is 12 feet?

mel-nik [20]

For the fulcrum to balance, the product of weight and distance on both sides of the fulcrum must be the same.

Let d1= x. since total distance is 12, we can write d2 = 12 - x

for the fulcrum to balance:

60x = 50(12 - x)

60x = 600 - 50x

110x = 600

x = 5.45

Thus, d1= 5.45
and
d2= 12 - d1 = 12 - 5.45 = 6.55

d1 = 5.45
d2 = 6.55
