Your friend says that the absolute value equation |3x+8|−9=−5 has no solution because the constant on the right side of the equa

tion is negative. Is your friend correct? Explain.

Answer:No friend is wrong


Step-by-step explanation: you actually get two answers. After you isolate the absolute value then you take the positive and negative number of what it's set equal too.


|3x + 8| - 9 = -5 add 9 to isolate the absolute value


|3x + 8| = 4


Now set two equations because the abosulte value has two answers.

|3x + 8| = 4. and |3x + 8| = -4

Solve these by removing the absolute value bars.

3x = -4. 3x = -12

x = -4/3. X = -4

A weather service records 28.8 inches of rain over a 12 month period. What is the average rainfall per month for the year?
Basile [38]

Answer:

B) 2.4 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The total amount of rain is 28.8 inches over 12 months. To find how much rain falls averagely in <em>one </em>month you need to divide the total by the amount of months. 28.8/12 = 2.4

The planets move around the sun in elliptical orbits with the sun at one focus. The point in the orbit at which the planet is cl
gladu [14]

Consider the attached ellipse. Let the sun be at the right focus. Then perihelion is at right vertex on the x-axis and aphelion is at the left vertex on the x-axis.

The distances:

  • from perihelion to the sun in terms of ellipse is a-c;
  • from aphelion to the sun in terms of ellipse is a+c.

Then

\left\{\begin{array}{l}a-c=741,000,000\\a+c=817,000,000\end{array}\right.

Add these two equations:

2a=1,558,000,000 \\ \\a=779,000,000

and subtract first equation from the second:

2c=76,000,000 \\ \\c=38,000,000.

Note that b=\sqrt{a^2-c^2}, thus

b=\sqrt{779,000,000^2-38,000,000^2}=\sqrt{605,397,000,000,000,000}.

The equation for the planet's orbit is

\dfrac{x^2}{a^2}+\dfrac{y^2}{b^2}=1\Rightarrow \dfrac{x^2}{606,841,000,000,000,000}+\dfrac{y^2}{605,397,000,000,000,000}=1.

In your top dresser drawer are 6 blue socks and 10 grey socks, unpaired and mixed up. One dark morning you pull two socks from t
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

D) 0.500

Step-by-step explanation:

Blue Socks = 6

Grey socks = 10

Probabilities to find :

Since there are a total of 16 socks, the probability of both socks being blue is  

Probability(blue) = (\frac{6}{16} ) \frac{5}{15} =\frac{30}{240} =\frac{1}{8}

The probability of both being grey is  

Probability(grey)  =(\frac{10}{16} ) \frac{9}{15} =\frac{90}{240} =\frac{3}{8}

(Note: After 1 sock is picked , next sock drawn would have a different probability as 1 sock is already picked so it would be 1 minus the total socks available of that color)

The probability two socks match:

Probability(blue) + Probability(grey) = \frac{1}{8} + \frac{3}{8}  = \frac{4}{8}  =\frac{1}{2} = 0.500
