absolute value- absolute value is the distance away from zero it cannot be negative

kiruha [24]4 years ago
3 0

Answer: the answer is absolute value.


Step-by-step explanation: The absolute value of a number is the value a number has not considering the negatives for example -3 would be 3 if we were looking for the absolute value. The absolute value is also the distance a number has from 0 on a number line. Both 3 and -3 are the same distance from ) therefore they have the same absolute value. Hope this helps!

One of two complementary angles measures 30 degrees more than three times the other. Find each angle.
Leviafan [203]

The two complementary angles are:

95° and 15°

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be one angle

then the other angle will be 90-x

As the sum of complementary angles is 90

So,

then according to statement

x = 3(90-x)+30\\x = 270-3x +30\\x = 300-3x\\x+3x = 300\\4x = 300\\x = \frac{300}[4}\\x = 75\\and\\90 -x = 90 - 75 = 15

The two complementary angles are:

95° and 15°

Solve x4 – 17x2 + 16 = 0.<br> Let u =<br> Select all of the zeroes of the function. i i
Soloha48 [4]

Solve \ x^4 - 17x^2 + 16 = 0

To solve this equation , we need to write it in quadratic form

ax^2+bx+c=0

To get the equation in quadratic form we replace x^2 with u

x^2 = u

x^4 - 17x^2 + 16 = 0 can be written as

(x^2)^2 - 17x^2 + 16 = 0, Replace u for x^2

So equation becomes

u^2 - 17u + 16 = 0

Now we factor the left hand side

-16  and -1  are the two factors whose product is +16  and sum is -17

(u-16) (u-1) = 0

u -16 = 0  so u=16

u-1 =0  so u=1

WE assume u = x^2, Now we replace u with x^2

u = 16 so \ it \ becomes \ x^2 =16

Now take square root on both sides , x= +4  and x=-4

u = 1 so \ it \ becomes \ x^2 =1

Now take square root on both sides , x= +1  and x=-1

So zeros of the function are -4, -1, 1, 4

Solve 7x − 2y = −3<br> 14x + y = 14
Sauron [17]
7x - 2y = -3

14x + y = 14
14x -14x + y = 14-14x
Y = 14 - 14x

7x -2y = -3
7x - 2(14 - 14x) = -3
7x -28 + 28x = -3
7x + 28x - 28 = -3
35x - 28 = -3
35x - 28 + 28 = -3 + 28
35x = 25
35x/35 = 25/35
X = 25/35 = 5/7.

Y = 14 - 14x
Y = 14 - 14(5/7)
Y = 14 - 10
Y = 4.

The solution P(5/7,4).
