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

write the equation of a line in slope intercept form that passes through (2 -2) and is parallel to 2x+4y=8
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

y= -1/2x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

1) put the equation in y-intercept form to find the slope of the original line 2x+4y=8

y=8/4-2x/4

y=2-1/2x

slope of second line will be -1/2

2) put point into the point-slope form (2,-2)

y-(-2)= -1/2(x-2)  now simplify

y+2= -1/2x+2/2

y+2 = -1/2x + 1

y+2-2=-1/2x + 1 -2 ====>>>>  y= -1/2x-1

Find all values of x (if any) where the tangent line to the graph of the given equation is horizontal. HINT [The tangent line is
Nostrana [21]
By "y = −9x2 − 2x" I assume you meant  <span>y = −9x^2 − 2x (the "^" symbol represents exponentiation).

Let's find the first derivative of y with respect to x:  dy/dx = -18x - 2.  This is equivalent to the slope of the tangent line to the (parabolic) curve.  Now let this derivative (slope) = 0 and solve for the critical value:  -18x - 2 = 0, or
-18x = 2.  Solving for x,   x = -2/18,    or    x = -1/9.

When x = -1/9, y = -9(-1/9)^2 - 2(-1/9).  This simplifies to y = -9/9 + 2/9, or 
y = -7/9.

The only point at which the tangent to the curve is horiz. is (-1/9,-7/9).</span>
