Since y+8 is positive, you don't have to find the absolute value since the absolute value is y+8. all you have to do is find a number that makes the statement true for y. the symbol between next to the 3 asks for a number that is greater or equal to 3. So your answer would be
≥-5
Answer:
x = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
I don't know what you mean by sketch pad but here is the working out
4x + 4 = 20
-4 -4
4x = 16
÷4 ÷4
x = 4
Hope this helps :)
Your answer would be (b.) because -2+-3=-5
Actually,
I think the question should be, "In what range(s) of x-values must
there be a root of the POLYNOMIAL?"
Unless you are working with some real strange maths, polynomials are
smooth and continuous. If you drew a smooth and continuous line through
the points in the graph, where would the line have to cross the x-axis?
