If 5x - 17 ≥ 0, then |5x - 17| = 5x - 17 and the equation reduces to
-8 - 2 (5x - 17) = -14
-8 - 10x + 34 = -14
-10x = -40
x = 4
If 5x - 17 < 0, then |5x - 17| = -(5x - 17) = -5x + 17 and we have
-8 - 2 (-5x + 17) = -14
-8 + 10x - 34 = -14
10x = 28
x = 2.8
Step-by-step explanation:
Initially, there's only 1 letter.
Tania sends the letter to 4 friends.
Each friend sends a letter to 4 more friends (4 × 4 = 16).
Each of those friends sends to 4 more friends (16 × 4 = 64).
The pattern is 1, 4, 16, 64, etc.
This is a geometric sequence. The first term is 1 and each term is 4 times the previous term.
a₁ = 1
aₙ = 4 aₙ₋₁
The explicit formula is:
aₙ = 1 (4)ⁿ⁻¹
Answer:
the larger of two printers being used to print the payroll for a major corporation requres 40 min. to print the payroll.So the smaller printer's payroll printing rate is
1 payroll per x min or or
>>...After both printers have been operating for 10 min, the larger printer malfunctions...<<
So the fraction of the payroll that the larger printer did in the 10 minutes
is = payroll.
Step-by-step explanation:
Not sure of my answer but, velocity=delta d/delta t. t=delta d/ velocity
—> t=(13-3)/15=>10/15=2/3s
