Given the equation |x-72.5|=4.

When x is maximum, we have

|x-72.5|= x-72.5. Hence x-72.5 =4\\x=76.5

The maximum temperature is 76.5\; ^oF

When x is minimum, we have

|x-72.5|=72.5-x. Hence 72.5-x =4\\x=68.5

The minimum temperature is 68.5\; ^oF

Answer:

Therefore the minimum and maximum temperature in the house are 68.5°F and 76.5°F respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation that relates the minimum and maximum temperature of heat of a house as;

|x – 72.5| = 4

Since the function at the left hand side is an absolute value, the equation can be expressed in two ways because the modulus function can either be a negative function (for minimum temperature) or positive function (maximum temperature).

The equation can be rewritten the following ways;

-(x-72.5) = 4 ...1 OR

x-72.5 = 4 ... 2

Solving equation 1 to get x;

-x+72.5 = 4

-x = 4-72.5

-x = -68.5

x = 68.5°F (minimum temperature)

Solving equation 2 for x;

x-72.5 = 4

x = 4+72.5

x = 76.5°F (maximum temperature)

Therefore the minimum and maximum temperature in the house are 68.5°F and 76.5°F respectively

Anyone know what this means?
fgiga [73]

Answer:

It's an angle bisector and it was found using a compass

Step-by-step explanation:

First you use the compass to make a marking in the angle

Then you move the compass to the D and make another marking after that you move the compass to E (Make sure to use the same compass setting) and make a marking that intersects with the marking of D which creates F. Last you use a straight edge to make the angle bisector of ABC. (Sorry if you don't understand this it was difficult for me to explain)

Find the perimeter of the polygon with the vertices g(2, 4), h(2,−3), j(−2,−3), g(2, 4), h(2,−3), j(−2,−3), and k(−2, 4)k(−2, 4)
Julli [10]
<span>The distance between g and h is sqrt[(2-2)^2+(4+3)^2]=7 The distance between h and j is sqrt[(2+2)^2+(-3+3)^2]=4 The distance between j and k is sqrt[(-2+2)^2+(-3-4)^2]=7 The distance between k and g is sqrt[(-2-2)^2+(4-4)^2]=4 The perimeter of the polygon is 7+4+7+4=22</span>

What's 57/100 + 3/10​
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

57/100 + 3/10

they need common denominators so a common denominator is 100

so 10x10=100 and 3x10= 30 so we now got

57/100 + 30/100 which is 87/100
