Answer:

x = - \frac{2}{3} , x = \frac{34}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value function always gives a positive value, however, the expression inside can be positive or negative, that is

- 3x + 16 = 18 or -(- 3x + 16) = 18

Solving

- 3x + 16 = 18 ( subtract 16 from both sides )

- 3x = 2 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

x = - \frac{2}{3}

or

-(- 3x + 16) = 18

3x - 16 = 18 ( add 16 to both sides )

3x = 34 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = \frac{34}{4}

As a check

Substitute these values into the left side of the equation and if equal to the right side then they are the solutions.

| - 3(- \frac{2}{3} ) + 16 | = | 2 + 16 | = | 18 | = 18 ← True

| - 3(\frac{34}{3} ) + 16 | = | - 34 + 16 | = | - 18 | = 18 ← True

Thus x = - \frac{2}{3} and x = \frac{34}{3} are the solutions

<u>Given</u>:-

g(x)=18

<u>To find</u><em>:-</em>

x

<u>Solution</u>:-

g(x)=(-3x+16)

18=-3x+16

18-16=-3x

2=-3x

x=2/-3

4.5, 9, 13.5, 18...
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

a) Arithmetic

b) 22.5

c) 4.5

d) a_n = 4.5 + 4.5(n - 1)

e) a_15 = 67.5

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Subtract one term by the term right before it, and the difference will be the common difference.

9 - 4.5 = 4.5

13.5 - 9 = 4.5

18 - 13.5 = 4.5

Therefore, the common difference is 4.5.

b) Since the common difference is 4.5, add 4.5 to the 18 (which was the last value given). The result is 22.5.

c) We have already figured out that the common difference is 4.5.

d) The explicit formula would be a_n = a1 + d(n - 1). The first term is 4.5 and d is also 4.5, so the explicit formula is a_n = 4.5 + 4.5(n-1).

e) Plug 15 into our explicit formula for n. a_15 = 4.5 + 4.5(14). The result is 67.5.

15. Rewrite the given functions in
Lisa [10]

15. The vertex form of f(x) = x² + 8x - 10 is f(x) = (x + 4)² - 26

17. The standard form of g(x) = (x + 3)² - 4 is g(x) = x² + 6x + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Any quadratic function has:

1. A vertex form form f(x) = a(x - h)² + k, where (h , k) are the

   coordinates of its vertex point

2. A standard form g(x) = ax² + bx + c, where a , b , c are constant and

   a is the coefficient of x², b is the coefficient of x and c is the

    y-intercept

3. the x-coordinate of the vertex point h = \frac{-b}{2a} and

    k = f(h)

15.

∵ f(x) = x² + 8x - 10

∴ a = 1 and b = 8

∵ h = \frac{-b}{2a}

∴ h = \frac{-8}{2(1)}=-4

∴ h = -4

∵ k = f(h)

∴ k = f(-4)

- Substitute x by -4 in f(x)

∴ k = (-4)² + 8(-4) - 10

∴ k = 16 - 32 - 10

∴ k = -26

∴ f(x) = (x - -4)² + (-26)

∴ f(x) = (x + 4)² - 26

The vertex form of f(x) = x² + 8x - 10 is f(x) = (x + 4)² - 26

17.

∵ g(x) = (x + 3)² - 4

- Lets solve the power 2 of the bracket:

 (1st + 2nd)² = (1st)(1st) + 2(1st)(2nd) + (2nd)(2nd)

∵ (x + 3)² = (x)(x) + 2(x)(3) + (3)(3)

∴ (x + 3)² = x² + 6x + 9

∴ (x + 3)² - 4 = (x² + 6x + 9) - 4

∵ 9 - 4 = 5

∴ (x + 3)² - 4 = x² + 6x + 5

The standard form of g(x) = (x + 3)² - 4 is g(x) = x² + 6x + 5
