Answer:

x ≥12

Step-by-step explanation:

-3x ≤ -36

Divide each side by -3, remembering to flip the inequality

-3x/-3 ≥ -36/-3

x ≥12

if mary earns $247.25 for gardening. if she worked 21.5 hours this month, then how much did she earn per hour?

N76 [4]

She earned 11.5 per hour! And we know this because 247.25 divided by 21.5 = $11.5 per hour ( hope this helps:)

Solve the equation. Show your work, or explain your reasoning.<br><br> -3x - 5 = 16

Pani-rosa [81]

First add 5 to 16, so -3x=21
then divide by -3, so the answer is
x= -7

Angelique says that finding the absolute value of a number is the same as finding the opposite of the number. For example |-5|=5

If u r trying 2 find the absolute value of a positive number, the absolute value of it will not be a negative, it will always be a positive.

Find a function where f(0)=2 and f(1)=2

xenn [34]

Answer:

Do you want to be extremely boring?

Since the value is 2 at both 0 and 1, why not make it so the value is 2 everywhere else?

$f(x) = 2$ is a valid solution.

Want something more fun? Why not a parabola? $f(x)= ax^2+bx+c$ .

At this point you have three parameters to play with, and from the fact that $f(0)=2$ we can already fix one of them, in particular $c=2$ . At this point I would recommend picking an easy value for one of the two, let's say $a= 1$ (or even $a=-1$ , it will just flip everything upside down) and find out b accordingly: $f(1)=2 \rightarrow 1^2+b+2=2 \rightarrow b=-1$

Our function becomes

$f(x) = x^2-x+2$

Notice that it works even by switching sign in the first two terms: $f(x) = -x^2+x+2$

Want something even more creative? Try playing with a cosine tweaking it's amplitude and frequency so that it's period goes to 1 and it's amplitude gets to 2: $f(x) = A cos (kx)$

Since cosine is bound between -1 and 1, in order to reach the maximum at 2 we need $A= 2$ , and at that point the first condition is guaranteed; using the second to find k we get $2= 2 cos (k1) = cos k = 1 \rightarrow k = 2\pi$
