Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
As x approaches 10 from the right side, h(x) approaches 18.5 but never touches it.
Answer:
You could just replace all the given possible values of k in the inequality and see which ones are solutions, but let's solve this in a more interesting way:
First, remember how the absolute value works:
IxI = x if x ≥ 0
IxI = -x if x ≤ 0
Then if we have something like:
IxI < B
We can rewrite this as
-B < x < B
Now let's answer the question, here we have the inequality:
I-k -2I < 18
Then we can rewrite this as:
-18 < (-k - 2) < 18
Now let's isolate k:
first, we can add 2 in the 3 parts of the inequality:
-18 + 2 < -k - 2 + 2 < 18 + 2
-16 < -k < 20
Now we can multiply all sides by -1, remember that this also changes the direction of the signs, then:
-1*-16 > -1*-k > -1*20
16 > k > -20
Then k can be any value between these two limits.
So the correct options (from the given ones) are:
k = -16
k = -8
k = 0
Answer:
Counselor's estimate isn't correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
Total number of students in university = 30,600
2% break 3 of the languages
Therefore, 2/100 × 30600 = 612 students break 3 of the languages in the University according to the counselor.
In a random sample of 240 students, 20 break 3 of the languages.
% = 20/240 × 100 = 8.33%
SinceTotal number of students = 30,600
Therefore, 30,600/240 = 127.5
Which means 127.5 × 20 = 2550.
Which means 2550 students break 3 of the languages as against the 612 students stated by the counselor.
