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

(2,-4) and (6,2).<br> Find the mid point
Olin [163]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>( 4 , - 1)</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint M of two endpoints of a line segment can be found by using the formula

M = (  \frac{x1 + x2}{2} , \:  \frac{y1 + y2}{2} )

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

(2,-4) and (6,2)

The midpoint is

M = ( \frac{2 + 6}{ 2}  , \:  \frac{ - 4 + 2}{2} ) \\  = ( \frac{8}{2}  \: , \:  -  \frac{2}{2} )

We have the final answer as

<h3>( 4 , - 1)</h3>

Hope this helps you

Which functions are symmetric with respect to the y-axis? Check all that apply.
xenn [34]

Answer:

f(x) = |x|, f(x) = [x] + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Almost all of these are absolute values equations, which means the y doesn't change if x is positive or negative. The first one is the parent form, which is the simplest equation of the absolute equation, so it's symmetric with respect to the y-axis. The second equation is translated 3 units to the left, and the third is translated 31 to the left. The forth is translated 6 up, so it's still symmetric with respect to the y-axis. The fifth is translated 61 units left, and the last one is simply a line, which isn't symmetric.

Find the product using the distributive property 2oo × 42.3
Greeley [361]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

200 * 42.3 = 200 * (40 + 2.3)

                   = 200*40  + 200*2.3

                   = 8000 + 460.0

                   =8460

Can someone help me with this
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

D. \frac{{7}^{11} }{ {4}^{11} }

Step-by-step explanation:

( \frac{7}{4}) {}^{11} = \frac{7 {}^{11} }{4 {}^{11} }

Since we are multiplying an exponential number to a fraction the answer is going to be

\frac{7 {}^{11} }{4 {}^{11} }

Hope this helps ❤❤❤ ;)
