Answer:

{-2, 4}

Step-by-step explanation:

|x - 1| = 3

There are two cases, one positive and one negative

x - 1 = 3  and  x-1 = -3

Add 1 to each side

x-1+1 = 3+1    x-1+1 = -3+1

x =4                 x = -2

Answer:  The correct option is

(A) {-2, 7}.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the solution set of the following :

|x-1|=3~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)

We will be using the following property of modulus :

|y|=b~~\Rightarrow y=b~or~y=-b.

So, from (i), we get

|x-1|=3\\\\\Rightarrow x-1=3~~or~~x-1=-3\\\\\Rightarrow x=3+1~~~~\Rightarrow x=-3+1\\\\\Rightarrow x=4,-2.

Thus, the required solution set is {-2, 4}.

Option (A) is CORRECT.

2(-3)² => 2(-3)(-3) => 2*9 = > 18


27+18-11 => 27 + 7 = > 34.


16)


\bf p(x)=\cfrac{x^2-4}{2x+1}\implies p(-8)=\cfrac{(-8)^2-4}{2(-8)+1}\implies p(-8)=\cfrac{64-4}{-16+1} \\\\\\ p(-8)=\cfrac{60}{-15}\implies p(-8)=-4


17)


\bf h(x)=3\cdot 9^x\implies h(-2)=3\cdot 9^{-2}\implies h(-2)=3\cdot \cfrac{1}{9^2} \\\\\\ h(-2)=\cfrac{3}{9^2}\implies h(-2)=\cfrac{3}{81}\implies h(-2)=\cfrac{1}{27}
