Answer:
x >=5 or x <=-3
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve an absolute value inequality
3|x-1| >= 12
Divide each side by 3
3/3|x-1| >= 12/3
|x-1| >= 4
Now there are two solutions
x-1 >= 4 or x-1 <= -4
Add 1 to each side
x-1+1 >= 4+1 or x-1+1 <= -4+1
x >=5 or x <=-3
5/5=1, 1/2=0.5, After you divide the fractions you then only have to divide the numbers. 1/0.5=2
Answer:
this triangle is an acute triangle
15/10 = 18-x/x is the ratio of the larger to the smaller triangle
Cross multiply:
15x = 10(18 - x)
15x = 180 - 10x
25x = 180
x = 7.2
Plug back in to check
15/10 = 1.5
18-7.2/7.2 = 10.8/7.2 = 1.5 :)
Most quadratic functions(which is what you have there, to a degree of 2) are solved using factoring and the zero product law. If you can not factor then you have to use the quadratic formula or graph it. However this one can be factored.
It's pretty simple to just factor it by inspection but I use the chart method, if you know decomposition that works as well.
Factoring gives us,

Then you set each factor to 0 and solve for x,



And the second one,


The solutions to this equation are
x = -1/2, 3
