The absolute value function is written f(x) = |x|. It is composed of the lines y = x and y = -x. Its domain is the real numbers

and its range is the set of real numbers: [0, ∞). Its graph is:
1. The absolute value function is y = |x|. Is it possible for the absolute value function to ever have a negative y value? Here is a hint...I’m looking for the actual definition of the absolute value in terms of distance with a detailed example to support your response. Is there a way to transform an absolute value function to have negative outputs?
2. Define the absolute value function, y = |x|, as a piecewise function. Please include complete sentences and examples to justify your answer to receive credit.

no, there will never be a negative y-value.  <span>y= |x| will always be nonnegative. |x| can be distance x is from 0 and a distance can never be negative.

</span>2.
you can define it as
y = |x| = x if x ≥ 0, -x if x < 0

absolute value can be interpreted as a function that does not allow negative real numbers, forcing them to be positive (leaving 0 alone). if the input x is more than or equal 0, then x stays positive so there is no need to do anything: "x if x ≥ 0".
if the input is less than 0, then it is an negative number and needs a negative coefficient to negate the negative: "-x if x < 0"

example: if x = -3, then it will take the "-x if x < 0" piece resulting in y = -(-3) = 3, which is what |-3| does

if x = 1, it will take the "x if x ≥ 0" piece and just have y = 1 which is what |1| does.

for x = 0, it will take the "x if x ≥ 0" and just have y = 0 which is what |0| does

The football team has 2 large water containers. Each container holds 345π in3 of water. Each player is given a cylindrical water
raketka [301]

Answer:

They'll be able to get 34 bottles from the containers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the bottles are cylindrical we can calculate their volume by using the following formula:

V = base_area*h

V = \pi*(r^2)*h

r = d/2 = 4/2 = 2 inches

V = 3.14*(2^2)*5 = 3.14*4*5

V = 3.14*20 = 62.8 inches^3

In order to know how many full bottles the players will get we need to divide the total volume of the containers, which is given by the sum of the volume of each container, and divide it by the volume of each bottle. We have:

bottles = (345*pi + 345*pi)/62.8 = 690*pi/62.8 = 2,166.6/62.8 = 34.5

Since the problem wants the amount of full bottles we only take the integer part, so they will be able to get 34 bottles from the containers.

Point B has coordinates ​(3​,2​). The​ x-coordinate of point A is −6. The distance between point A and point B is 15 units. What
xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

Distance between two points= √(x2-x1)²+(y2-y1)²

D= 15units

Let "k" be the y-coordinate of A

A(-6,k)

B(3,2)

15= √(3--6)²+(2-k)²

Taking square of both sides to eliminate the square root.

15²=(9)²+(2-k)²

225=81+4-4k+k²

k²-4k - 140=0

Using Quadratic Formula to evaluate

k= 14 or k=-10

The Possible coordinates of A are

(-6,14) or (-6,-10)
