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>

In a Gallup poll of randomly selected adults, 66% said that they worry about identity theft. For a group of 1013 adults, the mea
Kazeer [188]

Answer:

Mean = 344

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Population =  1013

Let p represents the proportion of those who worry about identity theft;

p = 66\%

Required

Mean of those who do not worry about identity theft

First, the proportion of those who do not worry, has to be calculated;

Represent this with q

In probability;

p + q = 1

Make q the subject of formula

q = 1 - p

Substitute p = 66\%

q = 1 - 66\%

Convert percentage to fraction

q = 1 - 0.66

q = 0.34

Now, the mean can be calculated using:

Mean = nq

Where n represents the population

Mean = 1013 * 0.34

Mean = 344.42

Mean = 344 (Approximated)

Translate (3, – 4) down 3 units.<br> Then reflect the result over the y-axis.
Greeley [361]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Best advice: make a sketch (which I can't do here).

When you reflect in the x axis, only the y value changes...so (3, -4) reflects to (3,4).

Translating down (i.e. in the negative direction) again means the x value (the abscissa) doesn't change, only the y value (the ordinate)...so the final value of the point is (3,1).

What is the solution to the equation -4(2x + 3) = 2x + 6 - (8x + 2)?
MrRa [10]

Answer:

B. x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

-4(2x + 3) = 2x + 6 - (8x + 2)

-8x -12 = 2x + 6 - 8x -2

(now, "-8" in both terms is cancelled):

-12 = 2x + 6 - 2

(leave 2x alone in second term):

-12 -6 +2 = 2x

-16 = 2x

-16/2 = x

-8 = x

Answer:

2yz^2-3z^2-5y+7

Step-by-step explanation:

you find the polynomial difference between the two (remember to distribute the negative sign when opening up the parenthesis of the second polynomial. combine like terms and your left with your answer.
