Answer:

<em>-26 or 14</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Coordinate of point A is -6.

Length of AB = 20

To find:

Coordinates for the point B = ?

Solution:

We are given that:

AB = 20

In other words, we can use modulus function to define the distance between A and B:

|Coordinates of B - Coordinates of A| = 20

Let the coordinates of B = x

Kindly refer to the attached image for the given situation.

Point B might be either on the left or on the right side of A.

That means:

|x-(-6)| = 20\\\Rightarrow |x+6|=20

Now, let us have a look at the modulus function:

|y|=\left \{ {-{y}\ if\ y0} \right.

So,

|x+6|=\left \{ {-{(x+6)}\ if\ (x+6)0} \right.

(x+6 ) =20\\\Rightarrow x =14

-(x+6 ) =20\\\Rightarrow x =-26

Therefore, the answer is:

<em>-26 or 14</em>

Which equation below does NOT represent a function of X A) x=y^2 B) y=x C) y = |x| D) y=x^2 E) y=1
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

A) x = y^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

An equation is a function of x when x is the independent variable, that is:

y = f(x) (1)

Where y is the dependent variable.

According to this, x = y^{2} does not represent a function of x, since the independent variable is a function of y, that is, x = f(y). Therefore, the correct answer is A.
