Simplify without the absolute value |x+3| ; if x>2
inna [77]

Answer:

x+3 if x>2

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall some following basic ideas about absolute value:

|0|=0 or I guess -(0)=0

|3|=3

|-3|=-(-3) or just 3 but there is a reason why I wrote it the way I did.

You see that the absolute value returned the same value if the value was positive.

You see that the absolute value returned the opposite value if the value was negative.

You can include 0 in either.

Let's look at |x+3| alone for a second.

*|x+3|=x+3 if x+3 is positive or zero.

When is x+3 positive or zero? [greater than or equal to 0]

x+3\ge 0

Subtract 3 on both sides

x\ge -3

*|x+3|=-(x+3) if x+3 is negative or zero.

When is x+3 negative or zero? [less or equal to 0]

x+3\le 0

Subtract 3 on both sides

x\le -3

So looking at the bullet points (the *), x>2 fits into the first inequality.

Therefore, |x+3|=x+3.

What is the volume of a certain cube? (1) The sum of the lengths of the edges of the cube is 36. (2) The surface area of the cub
german

Answer:

(1) The sum of the lengths of the edges of the cube is 36.

A cube has 12 equal edges. Sum = 36. Length of each edge = 36/12 = 3

Volume = 3*3*3 = 27

(2) The surface area of the cube is 54.

A cube has 6 identical faces. Area of each face = s^2 (s is the length of the side)

6s^2 = 54

s = 3

Volume = 3*3*3 = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

All you need to uniquely define a cube is any one measurement - length of a side/edge, area of a surface, volume etc. If you have any one of them, you can uniquely determine the others. So each statement alone is sufficient here.

To show how,

(1) The sum of the lengths of the edges of the cube is 36.

A cube has 12 equal edges. Sum = 36. Length of each edge = 36/12 = 3

Volume = 3*3*3 = 27

(2) The surface area of the cube is 54.

A cube has 6 identical faces. Area of each face = s^2 (s is the length of the side)

6s^2 = 54

s = 3

Volume = 3*3*3 = 27

John, Joe, and James go fishing. At the end of the day, John comes to collect his third of the fish. However, there is one too m
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

The minimum possible initial amount of fish:52

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's start by saying that

x = is the initial number of fishes

John:

When John arrives:

  • he throws away one fish from the bunch

x-1

  • divides the remaining fish into three.

\dfrac{x-1}{3} + \dfrac{x-1}{3} + \dfrac{x-1}{3}

  • takes a third for himself.

\dfrac{x-1}{3} + \dfrac{x-1}{3}

the remaining fish are expressed by the above expression. Let's call it John

\text{John}=\dfrac{x-1}{3} + \dfrac{x-1}{3}

and simplify it!

\text{John}=\dfrac{2x}{3} - \dfrac{2}{3}

When Joe arrives:

  • he throws away one fish from the remaining bunch

\text{John} -1

  • divides the remaining fish into three

\dfrac{\text{John} -1}{3} + \dfrac{\text{John} -1}{3} + \dfrac{\text{John} -1}{3}

  • takes a third for himself.

\dfrac{\text{John} -1}{3}+ \dfrac{\text{John} -1}{3}

the remaining fish are expressed by the above expression. Let's call it Joe

\text{Joe}=\dfrac{\text{John} -1}{3}+ \dfrac{\text{John} -1}{3}

and simiplify it

\text{Joe}=\dfrac{2}{3}(\text{John}-1)

since we've already expressed John in terms of x, we express the above expression in terms of x as well.

\text{Joe}=\dfrac{2}{3}\left(\dfrac{2x}{3} - \dfrac{2}{3}-1\right)

\text{Joe}=\dfrac{4x}{9} - \dfrac{10}{9}

When James arrives:

We're gonna do this one quickly, since its the same process all over again

\text{James}=\dfrac{\text{Joe} -1}{3}+ \dfrac{\text{Joe} -1}{3}

\text{James}=\dfrac{2}{3}\left(\dfrac{4x}{9} - \dfrac{10}{9}-1\right)

\text{James}=\dfrac{8x}{27} - \dfrac{38}{27}

This is the last remaining pile of fish.

We know that no fish was divided, so the remaining number cannot be a decimal number. <u>We also know that this last pile was a multiple of 3 before a third was taken away by James</u>.

Whatever the last remaining pile was (let's say n), a third is taken away by James. the remaining bunch would be \frac{n}{3}+\frac{n}{3}

hence we've expressed the last pile in terms of n as well.  Since the above 'James' equation and this 'n' equation represent the same thing, we can equate them:

\dfrac{n}{3}+\dfrac{n}{3}=\dfrac{8x}{27} - \dfrac{38}{27}

\dfrac{2n}{3}=\dfrac{8x}{27} - \dfrac{38}{27}

L.H.S must be a Whole Number value and this can be found through trial and error. (Just check at which value of n does 2n/3 give a non-decimal value) (We've also established from before that n is a multiple a of 3, so only use values that are in the table of 3, e.g 3,6,9,12,..

at n = 21, we'll see that 2n/3 is a whole number = 14. (and since this is the value of n to give a whole number answer of 2n/3 we can safely say this is the least possible amount remaining in the pile)

14=\dfrac{8x}{27} - \dfrac{38}{27}

by solving this equation we'll have the value of x, which as we established at the start is the number of initial amount of fish!

14=\dfrac{8x}{27} - \dfrac{38}{27}

x=52

This is minimum possible amount of fish before John threw out the first fish
