The equation being shown in the question is the absolute value of x. Absolute values when graphed show up as a V-shaped graph pointing upwards. This is because whatever value is passed as an input will output a positive, regardless of whether the input is positive or negative. Meaning that both 4 and -4 will output 4. That is why the graph is a V-shaped because the outputs repeat for both positive and negative inputs. In this case since the negative is outside the absolute value brackets the positive value given from the absolute value of the input will be turned into a negative. So this will cause the V-shape graph to be reflected across the x-axis. As seen in the attached picture below.

Enter a number in each blank M(x)=(2x-6)(x-4) true statements when M(x)=0 when x=

KengaRu [80]

Answer:

{3, 4}

Step-by-step explanation:

"M(x)=(2x-6)(x-4) true statements when M(x)=0 when x= ?" asks us to find the "roots" of M(x); that is, the x values at which M(x) = 0. Thus, we set

(2x - 6)(x - 4) = 0, which is equivalent to 2(x - 3)(x - 4) = 0.

Thus, x - 3 = and x = 3; also x - 4 = 0, so that x = 4.

The roots of M(x) are {3, 4}

Using the language of the original problem: "true statements when M(x)=0 when x=" the correct results, inserted into the blanks, are x = 3 and x = 4.
