|2x-5|=9 what is the positive and negative answer

Mathematics
1 answer:
irinina [24]4 years ago
6 0
  • Answer:

x = 7 or x = -2

  • Explanation:

|2x − 5| = 9 and |2x − 5| = -9

  • |2x − 5| = 9

Add 5 to both sides

2x - 5 + 5 = 9 + 5

Simplify

2x = 14

Divide both sides by 2

2x / 2 = 14 / 2

<u>x = 7</u>

  • |2x − 5| = -9

Add 5 to both sides

2x - 5 + 5 = -9 + 5

Simplify

2x = -4

Divide both sides by 2

2x / 2 = -4 / 2

<u>x = -2</u>

Is 0.069 less than 0.07
Nuetrik [128]
Yes, 0.069 is less than 0.07~

First, we compare the "one" place: 0 = 0.

Second, we compare the "tenth" place: 0 = 0.

Next, we compare the "hundredth" place: 6 < 7.

Because 6 < 7, 0.069 < 0.07 as a result~

A helicopter is flying above a town. the local high school is directly to the east of the helicopter at a 20° angle of depressio
guapka [62]
Answer: 4.5 miles

Explanation:

When you draw the situation you find two triangles.

1) Triangle to the east of the helicopter

a) elevation angle from the high school to the helicopter = depression angle from the helicopter to the high school = 20°

b) hypotensue = distance between the high school and the helicopter

c) opposite-leg to angle 20° = heigth of the helicopter

d) adyacent leg to the angle 20° = horizontal distance between the high school and the helicopter = x

2) triangle to the west of the helicopter

a) elevation angle from elementary school to the helicopter = depression angle from helicopter to the elementary school = 62°

b)  distance between the helicopter and the elementary school = hypotenuse

c) opposite-leg to angle 62° = height of the helicopter

d) adyacent-leg to angle 62° = horizontal distance between the elementary school and the helicopter = 5 - x

3) tangent ratios

a) triangle with the helicpoter and the high school

tan 20° = Height / x ⇒ height = x tan 20°

b) triangle with the helicopter and the elementary school

tan 62° = Height / (5 - x) ⇒ height = (5 - x) tan 62°

c) equal the height from both triangles:

x tan 20° = (5 - x) tan 62°

x tan 20° = 5 tan 62° - x tan 62°

x tan 20° + x tan 62° = 5 tan 62°

x  (tan 20° + tan 62°) = 5 tan 62°

⇒ x = 5 tant 62° / ( tan 20° + tan 62°)

⇒ x = 4,19 miles

=> height = x tan 20° = 4,19 tan 20° = 1,525 miles

4) Calculate the hypotenuse of this triangle:

hipotenuese ² = x² + height ² = (4.19)² + (1.525)² = 19.88 miles²

hipotenuse = 4.46 miles

Rounded to the nearest tenth = 4.5 miles

That is the distance between the helicopter and the high school.

What the domain and range is for the function f(x) = x2 + 4x - 21.
prisoha [69]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Please use " ^ " to denote exponentiation:  f(x) = x^2 + 4x - 21.

This function has a graph which is a parabola that opens up.

Its vertex is found by completing the square:

x² + 4x + 4 - 4 - 21, or

 (x + 2)² - 25

Comparing this to the standard equation

 (x - h)² + k, we see that h = -2 and k = -25.

Thus, the vertex (and the minimum of this function) is (-2, -25).

Thus, the range is [-25, ∞ ).  This being a polynomial function, it has no restrictions on the domain:  the domain is (-∞, ∞ )
