Answer:

|x-6|\le 0.45

x\in [5.55,6.45]

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Absolute Value Inequality</u>

Assume the actual width of a safety belt strap for a certain automobile is x. We know the ideal width of the strap is 6 cm. This means the variation from the ideal width is x-6.

Note if x is less than 6, then the variation is negative. We usually don't care about the sign of the variation, just the number. That is why we need to use the absolute value function.

The variation (unsigned) from the ideal width is:

|x-6|

The question requires that the variation is at most 0.45 cm. That poses the inequality:

|x-6|\le 0.45

That is the range of acceptable widths. Let's now solve the inequality.

To solve an inequality for an absolute value less than a positive number N, we write:

-0.45\le x-6 \le 0.45

This is a double inequality than can be easily solved by adding 6 to all the sides.

-0.45+6\le x \le 0.45+6

Operating:

5.55\le x \le 6.45

That is the solution in inequality form. Expressing in interval form:

\boxed{x\in [5.55,6.45]}

15) A, B, C, D, E and F are towns situated as follows. * A is 30 km east of D * C is 20 km east of E * F is 10 km west of B * D
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

Option D: 20km South

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets say A = (0, 0)

  • Finding B:

A is 30km East of D which makes D = (-30, 0)

D is 10km South of F which makes F = (-30, 10)

F is 10km West of B which makes B = (-20, 10)

  • Finding E:

A is 10km North of C which makes C = (0, -10)

C is 20km East of E which makes E = (-20, -10)

  • Finding the answer:

Find distance from B = (-20, 10) to E = (-20, -10)

     1. Cancel equivalent values:

x of B = (-20) and x of E = (-20)

Remove x from equation.

     2. Solve for answer:

B = 10 and E = (-10)

Find the difference: (-10) - 10 = (-20)

Conclusion:

South translates to negative on a graph making the answer 20km South

Hope this helped :)

Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

y = -0.07x2 + 3.07x

Step-by-step explanation:

For each plant we add, there is a decrease of 70 grams for all plants from the inicial value of 3 kg of beans.

So, for 2 plants, we have (3 - 0.07) * 2

For 3 plants, we have (3 - 2*0.07) * 3

For x plants, we have (3 - (x-1)*0.07) * x

So we can model the final result of the amount of beans 'y' with the equation:

y = (3 - (x-1)*0.07) * x

y = (3 - 0.07x + 0.07) * x

y = (3.07 - 0.07x) * x

y = -0.07x2 + 3.07x

(In this equation we have a = -0.07, b = 3.07 and c = 0)
