What is the largest possible value of y, if y = - | 3 - x | + 5

1 answer:

7 0

Given any expression A, absolute value of A, that is |A|, is always positive or 0.

So |3-x| is always positive or 0, thus -|3-x| is always negative or 0.

Since we want the largest value of - | 3 - x | + 5, we must keep - | 3 - x | as large as possible, that is, we must keep | 3 - x | as small as possible.

The smallest possible value of | 3 - x | is 0. This happens for x=3.

The largest possible value of <span>y = - | 3 - x | + 5 = 0+5 =5

Answer: 5</span>

Z=4x+2y subtract 4x from both sides

z-4x=2y divide both sides by 2

y=(z-4x)/2 or as they expressed it:

y = z/2 - 2x

Suppose that the functions u and w are defined as follows.

jasenka [17]

Answer(there are assumptions for this answer that you need to confirm and look at):

Assumptions: $u(x)=x^2+3$ and $w(x)=\sqrt{x+2}$

Answer if the operation is multiplication:

If you meant a closed dot which is the symbol for multiplication.

$(u \cdot w)(2)=14$

$(w \cdot u)(2)=14$

Answer if the operation is composition:

If you meant an open dot which is the symbol for composition.

$(u \circ w)(2)=7$

$(w \circ u)(2)=3$

Note: I don't know if you actually meant $w(x)=\sqrt{x+2}$ or if $w(x)=\sqrt{x}+2$ . Please let me know one way or the other.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we assume the functions are:

$u(x)=x^2+3$

$w(x)=\sqrt{x+2}$

$u \cdot w=w \cdot u$ since multiplication is commutative.

$u(2)=2^2+3$

$u(2)=4+3$

$u(2)=7$

$w(2)=\sqrt{2+2}$

$w(2)=\sqrt{4}$

$w(2)=2$

We are asked to find $(u \cdot w)(2)$ and $(w \cdot u)(2)$ .

The order doesn't matter in multiplication.

$(u \cdot w)(2)$

$u(2) \cdot w(2)$

$7 \cdot 2$

$14$

$(w \cdot u)(2)$

$w(2) \cdot u(2)$

$2 \cdot 7$

$14$

Now you might have meant composition which symbolized with an open circle, not a closed one.

$(u \circ w)(2)$

$u(w(2))$

$u(2)$ since $w(2)=2$

$2^2+3$

$4+3$

$7$

$(w \circ u)(2)$

$w(u(2))$

$w(7)$ since $u(2)=7$

$\sqrt{7+2}$

$\sqrt{9}$

$3$

Is one side of a rectangular fish tank best represented by a point, line, plane, or ray?

Inessa05 [86]

<span>One side of a rectangular fish tank can be best represented by a plane because it is two dimensional.Whereas,point,line or a ray are all one dimensional and hence they cannot represent a rectangle as it has two dimensions.</span>

Ratio equivalents to 1:2

nata0808 [166]

2:4 3:6 4:8

Any ratio equals 1:2 as long as you can divide the first number by itself to get 1 and the second number with the 1st number.
Example
2:4
Divide the first number by 2 and you get 1
Divide the second number by 2 and you get 2
So the ratio equals 1:2

Which of the following properties completes the proof?

Tresset [83]

The subtraction property of inequality can be used to proof that x = 7 from x + 8 = 15

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more variables and numbers.

Given that x + 8 = 15

Hence:

x + 8 - 8 = 15 - 8 (subtraction property of inequality)

x = 7

The subtraction property of inequality can be used to proof that x = 7 from x + 8 = 15
