Answer:

|x - 1| = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

After step 2, we have that:

(x - 1)^2 = 36

and after step 4, we have the results:

x = -5 or x = 7

After step 2, what we can do in step 3 is: use square root in both sides of the equation:

|x - 1| = 6

This equation can be split in two:

x - 1 = 6 -> x = 7

x - 1 = -6 -> x = -5

So Seth could write this equation in step 3:

|x - 1| = 6

Answer:

(a) -- the correct choice is highlighted

Step-by-step explanation:

The units of specific heat tell you what quantities make up the ratio.

$\dfrac{390\text{ J}}{1\text{ kg$\cdot^\circ$C}}=\dfrac{-12.0\text{ J}}{0.012\text{ kg}\cdot\Delta T}\\\\\Delta T=\dfrac{-12.0}{0.012\cdot390}\ ^\circ\text{C}\approx-2.56\text{ $^\circ$C}$

The temperature will decrease by 2.56 C.

Which variable is most important to the following problem? At 9:00 a.m., a wind speed of 20 miles per hour was recorded. After t

slavikrds [6]

Answer:

option-C

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given

At 9:00 a.m., a wind speed of 20 miles per hour was recorded

So, initial wind speed =20 miles per hour

Each measurement showed an increase in wind speed of 3 miles per hour

The strongest wind was recorded at 4:00 p.m

so,

top wind speed = initial wind speed + ( total number of hours between 9:00 am and 4:00 pm)*(change in wind speed)

top wind speed = 20 mph+(16-9)*3

$=20+7\times 3$

$=41$ miles per hour

Since, change in wind speed and initial wind speed are constant

but the number of hours it took for the wind speed to reach its minimum for the day can be changed

so, most important variables is

the number of hours it took for the wind speed to reach its minimum for the day can be changed

The function y= 19,800/x is a rational function. Use this function to answer each question. What are the asymptotes of the funct

Ilya [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function y = 19800/x

Vertical asymptote occurs at when f(x) = 0 where;

f(x) is the denominator of the given function.

From the expression given: f(x) = x

Since f(x) => 0, hence x = 0

To get the horizontal asymptote, we will look at the degree of the numerator and denominator. If the degree of numerator is less than the denominator, the horizontal asymptote will be zero. From the function, we can see that the degree of the numerator is zero (being a constant) and that of the denominator is 1.

Since 0<1, hence the horizontal asymptote is 0

x = 0, y = 0
