Answer:

(4,0) and (- 2,0): Answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Absolute value questions have two essential steps.

1. Solve the equation as it is written.

2. Solve it changing the sign of the right hand side. I will include a graph to confirm my answer

4*abs(x - 1) = 12 Divide by 4

abs(x - 1) = 12/4
abs(x - 1) = 3 Equate this to 3
x - 1 = 3 Add 1 to both sides
x - 1 + 1 = 3 + 1 Combine
x = 4

4*abs(x - 1) = - 12 Divide by 4

abs(x - 1) = - 12/4
abs(x - 1) = - 3
x - 1 = - 3 Add 1 to both sides
x - 1 + 1 = -3 + 1
x = - 2

So this has 2 answers

(4,0) and (- 2,0)

Identify whether the function graphed has an odd or even degree and a positive or negative leading coefficient.

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

odd degree and positive leading coefficient

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph , we can see that when x goes to infinity , y goes to infinity

As x--> ∞, y--> ∞ (As x increases the value of y increases on the positive side)

we can see that when x goes to -infinity , y goes to -infinity

As x--> -∞, y--> -∞ (As x decreases the value of y decreases on the negative side)

When x--> ∞, y--> ∞ and x--> -∞, y--> -∞

The leading coefficient is positive and largest exponent is odd

So the graph has odd degree and positive leading coefficient

The shape of the distribution of the time required to get an oil change at a 10 minute oil change facility is unknown. However,

lyudmila [28]

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

a) For a normal model the sample size has to be equal or greater than 30 so that it can be a normal distribution.

b) Given that:

μ = 11.2 minutes, σ = 4.8 minutes, n = 45

The z score determines how many standard deviations the raw score is above or below the mean. It is given by:

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma} \\For\ a\ sample\ size(n)\\z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n} }$

For x < 10 minutes

$z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma/\sqrt{n} }\\\\ z=\frac{10-11.2}{4.8/\sqrt{45} }= -1.68$

Therefore from the normal distribution table, P(x < 10) = P(z < -1.68) = 0.0465

In most environments and cells themselves, there are

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

The cells membrane is selectively permeable, meaning only certain substances can easily pass through it. Only small, non polar molecules can easily pass through the small spaces between the hydrophobic heads and phospholipids. Water would have trouble due to it being a polar molecule. Proteins and carbs are quite large, making it difficult for them to pass through. Salt, which ionizes water, would also have difficulty passing through as it is a charged particle. Oxygen, on the other hand, is a non polar molecule that is small, so it can easily pass through the phospholipid bilayer.
