No, because u add 9 to both sides to leave what's in the absolute value brackets alone so u get l3x+8l=4.Since the sum is positive then it has a solution.

No, ur friend is not correct

| 3x + 8 | - 9 = -5....u have to get the absolute value (and everything in it) on one side of the equal sign, and everything else on the other side. So we have to get that -9 across the equal sign by adding 9 to both sides
| 3x + 8 } = -5 + 9
| 3x + 8 | = 4...so that number is not negative anymore
now u can set up ur 2 equations and solve for x...ur 2 equations would be: 
3x + 8 = 4 and 3x + 8 = -4...so there will be 2 solutions

** if that -9 would not have been there, then ur friend would have been correct

What is the range of the function on the graph?
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

the answer is D. all real numbers greater than or equal to 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

looking at the graph, half of a parabola is curved upwards, and will never stop going up. looking at (1, 2), the dot (instead of circle) indicates the range is greater than or equal to itself, which is 2.
