How do you solve |y+9|>4?

Absolute value means that it doesn't matter if the number in the bars is positive or negative, it still comes out to be a positive number. Since the absolute value of anything greater than -4 added with 9 is greater than 4, one answer is y>-4. Absolute value inequalities and equation often have two answers though, a positive and a negative. And since the absolute value of anything less than -14 plus 9 is greater than 4, the second answer is y<14.

This is a weird one. I'm going to work it, but I also want you to look back at the
book or the worksheet and make sure that you copied it correctly.
Because it's weird, I tell you.

| y + 9 | > 4

Subtract 9 from each side of the inequality:

 | y | > -5

OK. Now, here we go:

'Absolute value' means just the size of the number, no matter whether it's
negative or positive. So the absolute value of every number is positive.

Got that ? The absolute value of every number is positive.

So EVERY number is a solution to this inequality. It doesn't matter what number
' y ' is, its absolute value is always positive. And if the absolute value is always
positive, then it's definitely always greater than -5 .

Weird ? I told you so.

Use the function below to find F(-4). F(x) = 2^x

Amiraneli [1.4K]

To answer this item, note that what needs to be done is to substitute -4 to all x's in the equation. That is,
F(x) = 2^x
will become,
F(-4) = 2^(-4) = 1/16 or 0.0625

Answer:

c) .22

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that to find our $\alpha$ level, that is the subtraction of 1 by the confidence interval divided by 2. So:

$\alpha = \frac{1-0.95}{2} = 0.025$

Now, we have to find z in the Ztable as such z has a pvalue of $1-\alpha$ .

So it is z with a pvalue of $1-0.025 = 0.975$ , so $z = 1.96$

Now, find the margin of error M as such

$M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

In which $\sigma$ is the standard deviation of the population and n is the size of the sample.

In this question:

$\sigma = 2.5, n = 500$

Then

$M = z*\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}$

$M = 1.96*\frac{2.5}{\sqrt{500}}$

$M = 0.22$

The largest possible circle is cut out of a square whose side length is 8 feet. What will be the approximate area, in square fee

valentina_108 [34]

<h3>Therefore the area of remaining board =13.76 square feet</h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given , The length of side of the square is 8 feet.

Since a circle is inscribed in the square. Then the diameter of the circle is equal to the length of side of the square .

Therefore the diameter of the circle is = 8 feet.

Radius of the circle is(r) = $\frac{8}{2}$ feet = 4 feet

The area of the circle is= 3.14 r²

= 3.14 × 4² square feet

= 50.24 square feet

The area of the square is = side × side

= 8×6 square feet

=64 square feet

Therefore the area of remaining board = (64- 50.24)square feet

=13.76 square feet

Nima uses 2/3 cup peanuts, 1/2 cup cashews, 3/4 cups pecans, and some raisinsin a recipe that makes 2 1/4 cups of trail mix. How

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

8/27 cups

Step-by-step explanation:

Nima uses 2/3 cups of peanuts to make a recipe of 2 1/4 = 9/4 cups of trail mix. If we want to find how many cups of peanuts are there per cup of trail mix, we can do a rule of three:

If 9/4 cups of trail mix need 2/3 cups of peanuts, 1 cup of trail mix need X cups of peanuts:

9/4 cups of trail mix -> 2/3 cups of peanuts

1 cup of trail mix -> X cups of peanuts

9/4 / 1 = 2/3 / X

9/4 = 2/(3*X)

3*X*9 = 4*2

27*X = 8

X = 8/27 cups

An expert shot bits the target 95% of the time. What are the probabilities that he will miss the target: at least one time durin

Mkey [24]

If he hits the target 95% of the time, then you could say that he has a probability of 0.95, or 95% of hitting the target. Let p = the probability of hitting the target or p = 0.95. So you are interested that he misses the target at least once - this could be thought of as not getting a perfect score. So to get a perfect score, it is 0.95 for each target -- 0.95^15 for 15 targets is 0.464. Thus to miss at least one target he needs to NOT have a perfect score -- 1 - 0.464 = 0.536, or 53.6% of happening. Enjoy
