Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step is to understand what the integrand looks like. (See the graph below.)

It is -1 for x < 0 and +1 for x > 0. Thus, the value of this integral is ...

$\int\limits^0_{-1} {-1} \, dx + \int\limits^2_0 {1} \, dx=-1+2=1$

_____

Essentially, you treat the absolute value as a piecewise linear function. This is the same way you treat an absolute value in any equation or inequality.

Here, this means you divide the integral into two parts: one where the integrand is -x/x, and one where it is +x/x.

I don't think that you put parentheses around any numbers because when I solve it with parentheses between numbers I get other numbers like 16 or 17

Solve for x.<br> Sqrt8 (Sqrt2 - x) = 11

Alexus [3.1K]

Answer: $\frac{-7\sqrt{2} }{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

So first, let's get rid of the parentheses. We can multiply it out to get $\sqrt{16}-x\sqrt{8} =11$ . We know that the square root of 16 is ±4, so now our equation is ±4 - $x\sqrt{8}$ =11. I'm guessing since the problem only has one solution it's most likely only positive 4, so let's revise our equation to 4 - $x\sqrt{8}$ =11. We can use inverse operations to make the a little easier to solve: -7= $x\sqrt{8}$ . We divide both sides by $\sqrt{8}$ to get $\frac{-7}{\sqrt{8} } =x$ , which we can rationalize (remove the square root from the denominator so that it's a proper answer) by multiplying by $\frac{\sqrt{8} }{\sqrt{8} }$ (which is equal to one so we can use it) which is equal to $\frac{-7\sqrt{8} }{8}$ . Let's finish this by simplifying it. $\sqrt{8} =2\sqrt{2}$ (2x $2^{2}$ ). We can simplify it further by simplifying the 2, making it $\frac{-7\sqrt{2} }{4}$ .

Hope this wasn't too confusing! I'll answer any questions.

Fernando bought 8 pints of milk. How many fluid ounces of milk did Fernando buy?

nordsb [41]

Answer: 128 fluid ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

First and foremost, we need to realize that:

1 pint = 16 ounces

Therefore, since Fernando bought 8 pints of milk, to convert it to ounces, we just have to multiply 16 by 8. This will be:

= 16 ounces × 8

= 128 ounces
