Answer:

x < -2 or x > 10/3

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 2 > 8

3x > 10

x > 10/3

-3x + 2 > 8

-3x > 6

x < -2

x < -2 or x > 10/3

Answer:

the solution set consists of {x < -2 ∪ x > 10/3}

Step-by-step explanation:

|3x - 2| > 8 is equivalent to the following set of inequalities:

1) 3x - 2 > 8

and

2) -(3x - 2) > 8

In case 1, above, add 2 to both sides, obtaining 3x > 10, or x > 10/3.

In case 2, above, carry out the indicated multiplication first:

-3x + 2 > 8.  Next, subtract 2 from both sides:  -3x > 6.

Next, divide both sides by -3, remembering to reverse the direction of the inequality sign:  x < -2.

Thus, the solution set consists of {x < -2 ∪ x > 10/3}

Answer:

  1. asymptotes: x=-6, x=6, y=0; zero: x=0

  2. 20 blue fish

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The vertical asymptotes are where the denominator is zero. It factors as (x-6)(x+6), so will have zeros at x=-6 and x=6.

The horizontal asymptote is at the limit when x goes to infinity. Here, the ratio of highest-degree terms is 6/x, so the value goes to zero as x gets large.

The zero is where the numerator is zero, at x=0.

In summary:

  • vertical asymptotes: x = ±6
  • horizontal asymptote: y = 0
  • zero: (0, 0)

__

2. 60% are red, so 40% are blue. The difference in percentages is 60%-40% = 20%. The percentage of blue fish (40%) is twice the difference (=2×20%), so the number of blue fish is twice the difference in numbers.

  blue fish = 2×10 = 20 fish

<em><u>Check</u></em>

There are then 20+10=30 red fish, so 20+30=50 fish total. Reds are 30/50 = 60% of the total.

<u><em>Additional comment</em></u>

I find it often works well to work with ratios, which I can often do in my head. Other folks like to see equations. Here, we could write equations like ...

  r = 60%(r + b) . . . . reds are 60% of the total

  r - b = 10 . . . . . . . . 10 more reds than blues

We want the value of b, so we can eliminate r by substituting for it:

  r = 10 + b . . . . from the second equation above

  (10 +b) = 0.60((10 +b) + b) . . . . substitute for r

  10 +b = 6 + 1.2b . . . simplify

  4 = 0.2b . . . . subtract b+6

  20 = b . . . . . . multiply by 5 (there are 20 blue fish)

becomes

\frac{1}{6}

now the slope is going down so it becomes negative
