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

hope it helps you!

In a unit circle, ø = 2pi radians What is the terminal point?
BlackZzzverrR [31]

Answer:

The terminal point is (1, 0) ⇒ D

Step-by-step explanation:

In the unit circle, Ф is the angle between the terminal side and the positive part of the x-xis.

  • The terminal point on the positive part of the x-axis is (1, 0),which means Ф = 0° or 360° and cosФ = 1, sinФ = 0
  • The terminal point on the positive part of the y-axis is (0, 1),which means Ф = 90° and cosФ = 0, sinФ = 1
  • The terminal point on the negative part of the x-axis is (-1, 0),which means Ф = 180° and cosФ = -1, sinФ = 0
  • The terminal point on the negative part of the y-axis is (0, -1),which means Ф = 270° and cosФ = 0, sinФ = -1

In a unit circle

∵ Ф = 2π radians

∵ 2π radians = 360°

→ By using the 1st rule above

∴ The terminal point is (1, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

the formula for an arithmetic sequence is

a, a+d,a+3d,a+3d etc, where d is the common difference

we have the terms -6, 13,23

first term is -6

-6+19=13

however, 13+10=23

this is not an arithmetic sequence
