A) The given equation has no solution. The absolute value cannot be negative, but must be -9 in order for the equation to be satisfied.
b) |x -7| = 2 . . . . . . . the equation
Solution 1:
-2 = x -7
5 = x . . . . . . add 7
Solution 2
x -7 = 2
x = 9 . . . . . . add 7
The two numbers are {5, 9}
3. The leading coefficient of the function f(x)= 3x⁵+6x⁴-x-3 is 3.
For the function f(x)= 3x⁵+6x⁴-x-3 , the highest power of x is 5, so the degree is 5. The leading term is the term containing that degree, 3x⁵. The leading coefficient is the coefficient of that term, 3.
Answer:
The value of a is 101°, b is 79°, c is 83° and d is 97°
The function that is growing at the fastest rate is p(x) = 12x^3 + 9.
This is a cubic function, meaning that x is raised to the third power. This is the only function that is raised to the third power, so it will increase the fastest.
