The absolute value function |<em>x</em>| always returns a non-negative number. It takes any number <em>x</em> and returns <em>x</em> if it's already non-negative, or -<em>x</em> if it is negative in order to make it positive.

For the equation
-3 + 4 |2<em>x</em> - 5| = 14
rearrange terms to get
|2<em>x</em> - 5| = 17/4
Now,
• if 2<em>x</em> - 5 ≥ 0, then |2<em>x</em> - 5| = 2<em>x</em> - 5. Then
2<em>x</em> - 5 = 17/4
• and if instead 2<em>x</em> - 5 < 0, then |2<em>x</em> - 5| = -(2<em>x</em> - 5), so that
-(2<em>x</em> - 5) = 17/4, or
2<em>x</em> - 5 = -17/4
In the first case,
2<em>x</em> - 5 = 17/4
2<em>x</em> = 17/4 + 5 = 37/4
<em>x</em> = 37/8
In the second case,
2<em>x</em> - 5 = -17/4
2<em>x</em> = -17/4 + 5 = 3/4
<em>x</em> = 3/8
8/18 because just times them by 2 and it will be 8/28.
Answer: 1.5 or 1 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
19,27 cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
area of triangle = (6 x 3)/ 2 = 9 cm^2
circle area : 3^2 x 3,14 = 28,27 cm^2
area of shaped region = 28,27 - 9 = 19,27 cm^2
Mulitpilicty is how many times a root repeats
factor
factor x first
x(2x^2+x-1)
using math
(x)(x+1)(2x-1)
no roots repeat
if it is equal to 0 then the roots are
0 multiplicty 1
-1 multiplicty 1
1/2 multiplicty 1
