We start with
We can factor x at the numerator:
So, assuming 
(otherwise the expression would make no sense) we can simplify it:
This equation has no roots, so we can't simplify it any further.
Answer:
b(-10) = 6
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Define
b(x) = |x + 4|
b(-10) is x = -10
Step 2: Substitute and Evaluate
b(-10) = |-10 + 4|
b(-10) = |-6|
b(-10) = 6
It would take the tortoise 1 minutes and 15 seconds
Answer:
Function:
c = f(w) = 0.49, 0 < w ≤ 1
= 0.70, 1 < w ≤ 2
= 0.91, 2 < w ≤ 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Yes, the relation described can be interpreted as a function.
Here, c is the cost of a mail letter. c depends upon w, which is the weights of the mail letter.
As described in the question, the relation can be expressed as a function.
c can be expressed as a function of w in the following manner:
c(cost of mail) = f(w), where w is the independent variable and c is the dependent variable
c = f(w) = 0.49, 0 < w ≤ 1
= 0.70, 1 < w ≤ 2
= 0.91, 2 < w ≤ 3
where, c is in dollars and w is in ounces.
