The values of x are 4, -4, and -2.

We can solve this by simply factorising the (x² - 16) bracket into a difference of two squares, to give us (x + 4)(x - 4), and then setting each bracket equal to 0.

When x + 2 = 0, x = -2

When x + 4 = 0, x = -4

When x - 4 = 0, x = 4

I hope this helps!

Answer: $4.76

To find the answer you need to find out the total before the 20% tips to find this you need to subtract 14.40 and 20% which = $11.52.If the coffee was $2 you also need to subtract that so the equation would be (11.52-2.00=9.52).Lastly the question is asking you for the price of one serving of pancakes but we have the answer for 2 which is $9.52.To find the price of of 1 serving you need to divide $9.52 by 2 = $4.76.So your answer is $4.76 for 1 serving of pancakes.

What is the range of the function below in set builder notation? y=|x-3|

Kisachek [45]

Answer: $\{y | \ y \in \mathbb{R}, \ y \ge 0\}$

This translates to "y is any real number such that it is 0 or larger".

The reasoning is that the result of any absolute value function is either 0 or positive. In other words, we'll never get a negative result of an absolute value function. This is due to how absolute value represents distance. Negative distance does not make sense.

So if y = |x-3| then y = 0 is the smallest output possible. We could have any positive output we want.

In terms of a graph (see below), the V shape is at the lowest point (3,0). The y coordinate is all we care about in terms of finding the range. So we see the lowest y value is y = 0.
