The answer for this answer would be B. X is less than -10 so B would be the answer.
Since the left side of the equation says f(5), then plug in 5 for x.
So, it is:
-4|5| + 3
= -20 + 3
= 23
If you subtract Betty's time for the swim, 27.948 seconds, from Nancy's time, 28.004 seconds, you will find that Betty was faster than Nancy by 0.056 seconds. She would be considered the winner of the 50-meter freestyle swim.
ANSWER
EXPLANATION
The quadratic equation is:
Group variable terms:
Add the square of half, the coefficient of y to both sides.
The LHS us now a perfect square trinomial:
Take square root:
The first choice is correct.
You can't tell. The volume doesn't tell you the dimensions. It only tells you
what the product of the three dimensions is, but not what anyone of them is.
There are an infinite number of different possibilities.
Example: Volume = 8 cubic feet
The dimensions of the box could be
Length = 2-ft, Width = 2-ft, Height = 2-ft
or
1 x 1 x 8
or
1 x 2 x 4
or
1 x 3 x 2-2/3
or
1 x 5 x 1.6
or
1 x 6 x 1-1/3
or
1 x 7 x 1-1/7
or
2 x 3 x 1-1/3
or
2 x 5 x 0.8
or
2 x 6 x 2/3
or
2 x 7 x 4/7
or
2 x 8 x 1/2

etc.
