The vertex of the graph of f(x) = |x - 3| +6 is located at Done Intro

Igoryamba

Answer:

The vertex of the graph is located at the point (3,6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to know where the vertex of the equation if plotted will be

To get this, what we have to do is to equate the expression that we have in the absolute value to zero

After this, we then proceed to solve for the value of x

We have this as;

x -3 = 0

hence;

x = 0 + 3

x = 3

to get the y-value of the vertex, we look at the value at the side of the absolute value

This value is 6 and thus, the y-value of the vertex point is 6

So the coordinates of the vertex is (3,6)

7 times what equals 1?

Arturiano [62]

For this case, the first thing we must do is define a variable.
We have then:
x: unknown number
Doing the multiplication we have:
$(7) (x) = 1
$
From here, we clear the value of x.
We have then:
$x = \frac{1}{7} 
$
Therefore, we have:
$(7) ( \frac{1}{7} ) = 1
$
Answer:
7 times 1/7 equals 1

The value V of a Porsche 718 Cayman that is t years old can be modeled by V(t) = 420,000(0.965)t (a) What would be worth the car

nordsb [41]

Answer:

A. V (2) = $ 391,114.50

B. t = 7.2 years (rounding to the next tenth) or approximately 7 years, 2 months and 12 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Given formula:

V(t) = 420,000 * (0.965)^t

A. What would be worth the car′s worth in 2 years?

V(t) = 420,000 * (0.965)^t

We replace t by 2, as follows:

V(2) = 420,000 * (0.965)²

V(2) = 420,000 * 0.931225

V (2) = $ 391,114.50

B. In how many years will the car be worth $325,000?

V(t) = 420,000 * (0.965)^t

We replace V(t) by 325,000, as follows:

325,000 = 420,000 * (0.965)^t

325,000/420,000 = (0.965)^t

0.77381 = (0.965)^t

t = log 0.965(0.7738)

t = log 0.7738/log 0.965

t = 7.2 years (rounding to the next tenth) or approximately 7 years, 2 months and 12 days

0.2 years = 0.2 * 12 = 2.4 months

0.4 months = 0.4 * 30 = 12 days

I neep helpppppppppp

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$x = 5 - 2y \\ y = 3(5 - 2y) - 8 \\ y = 15 - 6y - 8 \\ y = 7 - 6y \\ 7y = 7 \\ y = 1$

$x = 5 - 2y \\ x = 5 - 2 = 3 \\$
