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

Container A and container B are right circular cylinders. A has a radius of 4 inches and a height of 5 inches while container B
Bess [88]

Answer:

8 in

Step-by-step explanation:

RA = 4 in, RB = 2 in

oil height in A = hA = 2 in

Find oil height in B = hB

volume of oil in A = VA = π*RA² * hA

equal amount means volume of oil in B VB = VA

But VB = π*RB² * hB

so π*RA² * hA = π*RB² * hB

then

hB = hA *(RA/RB)² = 2 * (4/2)² = 8 in

Cual es la utilidad de la representacion a escala de diferentes distancias reales
svp [43]

Answer:

Scales are used to represent real distances and proportions into maps and planes, that way we can have a bigger perspective about something just having in paper.

One direct use of scales are seen in architecture plans, there, the architect uses scales to represent the construction he is designing. Also, the architect can have a more complete point of view about the principial elements on his work.

How many x-intercepts does the graph of y = 2x^2 – 8x + 5 have?
nydimaria [60]
A graph of the equation shows the appropriate choice to be
  C. 2

_____
If you would rather, you can look at the value of the discriminant. For the equation y = ax²+bx+c, the discriminant (d) is
  d = b²-4ac
For your equation, this evaluates to
  d = (-8)²-4(2)(5) = 64 -40 = 24
When the discriminant is positive, the function has two real roots (2 x-intercepts). When it is zero, there is only one x-intercept, and when it is negative, there are none (the roots are complex).
