The absolute value function |<em>x</em>| always returns a non-negative number. It takes any number <em>x</em> and returns <em>x</em> if it's already non-negative, or -<em>x</em> if it is negative in order to make it positive.
For the equation
-3 + 4 |2<em>x</em> - 5| = 14
rearrange terms to get
|2<em>x</em> - 5| = 17/4
Now,
• if 2<em>x</em> - 5 ≥ 0, then |2<em>x</em> - 5| = 2<em>x</em> - 5. Then
2<em>x</em> - 5 = 17/4
• and if instead 2<em>x</em> - 5 < 0, then |2<em>x</em> - 5| = -(2<em>x</em> - 5), so that
-(2<em>x</em> - 5) = 17/4, or
2<em>x</em> - 5 = -17/4
In the first case,
2<em>x</em> - 5 = 17/4
2<em>x</em> = 17/4 + 5 = 37/4
<em>x</em> = 37/8
In the second case,
2<em>x</em> - 5 = -17/4
2<em>x</em> = -17/4 + 5 = 3/4
<em>x</em> = 3/8
1. set up the equation which makes these shapes equal, 1/2(2(x+1)) = 1x
2. solve, x+1=x, 1=0
3. since this is impossible, there is no solution and zero answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Coordinates of points</u>
i) lies on x- axis with abscissa - 3
- If it lies on x- axis, it has zero y-coordinate
- It is (-3, 0)
ii) lies on y-axis with ordinate 5
- It lies on y-axis, it has zero x-coordinate
- It is (0, 5)
