Clear the absolute-value bars by splitting the equation into its two cases, one for the Positive case and the other for the Negative case.

The Absolute Value term is |x-3|

For the Negative case we'll use -(x-3)  

For the Positive case we'll use (x-3)  

Step  3  :

Solve the Negative Case

     -(x-3) = 12  

    Multiply

     -x+3 = 12  

    Rearrange and Add up

     -x = 9  

    Multiply both sides by (-1)  

     x = -9  

    Which is the solution for the Negative Case

Step  4  :

Solve the Positive Case

     (x-3) = 12  

    Rearrange and Add up

     x = 15  

    Which is the solution for the Positive Case

Step  5  :

Wrap up the solution

x=-9

x=15

Answer:

x = 4; x = -4

Step-by-step explanation:

|3x| = 12

3x = 12

3x/3 = 12/3

x = 4

3x = -12

3x/3 = -12/3

x = -4

erica [24]

Answer:

8%

Step-by-step explanation:

The maximum change happens when all 500 people moves form outer surface to the station center. When all of them are at the surface, the total moment of inertia is:

I = I_s + 500I_p = 3*10^9 + 500m_pr_p^2=3*10^9 + 500*70*82.5^2=3.24*10^9

When they are at the axis, the total moment of inertia is only the station's, which is 3*10^9

By the law of angular momentum conservation:

I_1\omega_1 = I_2\omega_2

\omega_2/\omega_1 = I_1/I_2 = \frac{3.24*10^9}{3*10^9} = 1.08

So the angular speed changes by 0.08 of itself, or 8%

M is directionly proptional to r squared
sergejj [24]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  A) 504

  B) 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement of proportionality can be written as the equation ...

  m = kr²

Then we can find k from ...

  k = m/r² = 14/2² = 7/2

That is, ...

  m = (7/2)r²

__

Using this relation, we can find m for r=12:

  m = (7/2)·12² = 7·72

  m = 504 . . . for r = 12

__

And, we can use the same equation to solve for r when m=224.

  224 = 7/2·r²

  r² = 64

  r = √64

  r = 8 . . . for m = 224
