Which of the following values is a solution of |2-x| less than 4

The correct answer is -1.

In order to solve this, we need to split into the positive and negative version of the answers. Let's start with the positive version.

2 - x < 4

-x < 2

x > -2 ----> NOTE: When we divide by -1, we have to change the direction of the sign.

Now we'll do the negative version.

2 - x > -4

-x > -6

x < 6

So we know the number must be greater than -2, but less than 6. The only number on this list that fits that is -1.

Evaluate the definite integral using the graph of f(x)<br> (Image included)

Tanya [424]

a) The first integral corresponds to the area under y = f(x) on the interval [0, 3], which is a right triangle with base 3 and height 5, hence the integral is

$\displaystyle \int_0^3 f(x) \, dx = \frac12 \times 3 \times 5 = \boxed{\frac{15}2}$

b) The integral is zero since the areas under the curve over [3, 4] and [4, 5] are equal but opposite in sign. In other words, on the interval [3, 5], f(x) is symmetric and odd about x = 4, so

$\displaystyle \int_3^5 f(x) \, dx = \int_3^4 f(x) \, dx + \int_4^5 f(x) \, dx = \int_3^4 f(x) \, dx - \int_3^4 f(x) \, dx = \boxed{0}$

c) The integral over [5, 9] is the negative of the area of a rectangle with length 9 - 5 = 4 and height 5, so

$\displaystyle \int_5^9 f(x) \, dx = -4\times5 = -20$

Then by linearity, we have

$\displaystyle \int_0^9 f(x) \, dx = \left\{\int_0^3 + \int_3^5 + \int_5^9\right\} f(x) \, dx = \frac{15}2 + 0 - 20 = \boxed{-\frac{25}2}$

Can someone PLEASE help me solve this equation ? due soon

$\sf{Given : 3tanx + 7 = \dfrac{2}{(1 - sinx)(1 + sinx)}}$

We know that : (a - b)(a + b) = a² - b²

$\implies \sf{3tanx + 7 = \dfrac{2}{1 - sin^2x}}$

We know that : 1 - sin²x = cos²x

$\implies \sf{3tanx + 7 = \dfrac{2}{cos^2x}}$

$\sf{\bigstar \ \ We \ know \ that : \boxed{\sf{\dfrac{1}{cos^2x} = sec^2x}}}$

$\implies \sf{3tanx + 7 = 2sec^2x}$

We know that : sec²x = 1 + tan²x

$\implies \sf{3tanx + 7 =2(1 + tan^2x)}$

$\implies \sf{2 + 2tan^2x - 3 tanx - 7 = 0}$

$\implies \sf{2tan^2x - 3 tanx - 5 = 0}$

$\implies \sf{2tan^2x - 5tanx + 2tanx - 5 = 0}$

$\implies \sf{2tanx(tanx + 1) - 5(tanx + 1) = 0}$

$\implies \sf{(tanx + 1)(2tanx - 5) = 0}$

$\implies \sf{tanx = -1 \ (or) \ tanx = \dfrac{5}{2} }$
