Answer:
x ≥ 7
Step-by-step explanation:
|x - 7| = x - 7
A. For each absolute, find the intervals
x - 7 ≥ 0 x - 7 < 0
x ≥ 7 x < 7
If x ≥ 7, |x - 7| = x - 7 > 0.
If x < 7, |x - 7| = x - 7 < 0. No solution.
B. Solve for x < 7
Rewrite |x - 7| = x - 7 as
+(x - 7) = x - 7
x - 7 = x - 7
-x + 14 = x
14 = 2x
x = 7
7 ≮7. No solution
C. Solve for x ≥ 7
Rewrite |x - 7| = x - 7 as
+(x - 7) = x - 7
x - 7 = x - 7
True for all x.
D. Merge overlapping intervals
No solution or x ≥ 7
⇒ x ≥ 7
The diagram below shows that the graphs of y = |x - 7| (blue) and of y = x - 7 (dashed red) coincide only when x ≥ 7.
Answer to the 1st question: 8 years
Answer to the 2nd question: The year 2022
=======================================================
Further explanation:
x = number of years after 2008
y = average price of a new car
The prices are going up by $1250 per year on average. This is the slope because the slope is the rate of change. So m = 1250.
The y intercept is b = 30100 as this is the price in 2008.
This leads us to go from y = mx+b to y = 1250x+30100
Plug in x = 0 and you should get y = 30100.
Also, plugging x = 6 into the equation leads to y = 37600 to help confirm things.
-----------------
Next, we plug in y = 47600 and solve for x.
y = 1250x+30100
47600 = 1250x+30100
47600-30100 = 1250x
17500 = 1250x
1250x = 17500
x = 17500/1250
x = 14
This means 14 years after the year 2008 is when the average new car price will be $47,600.
2008+14 = 2022
2022-2014 = 8
Therefore, <u>8 years</u> after 2014 (aka the <u>the year 2022</u>) is when the new car average price will be $47,600.
Answer:
y = 0.5x + 4, or y = 1/2x + 4 (if you prefer fractions)
Step-by-step explanation:
y = mx + b (slope intercept form / standard form) ; m = 0.5 or 1/2, b = 4.
m = linear coefficient/slope(denoted by <u>a</u> in a 1 degree binomial)
b = constant coefficient / y-intercept (denoted by <u>b</u> in a 1 degree binomial)
to convert this equation into a standard form equation. You need to isolate y and leave the coefficients on the other side.
0.5x = y - 4
0.5x (+4) = y - 4 (+4)
0.5x + 4 = y
y = 0.5x + 4
