What is the vertex of the absolute value function defined by ƒ(x) = |x + 5| + 7?

1 answer:

To answer this, you need to know the general form of an absolute value function. the equation for this is f(x<span>) = </span>a|x<span> - </span>h<span>| + </span>k, and in this equation, the vertex is (h, k).

with that information, you can see that your vertex will be (-5, 7). you must take the negative for 5 because the general equation states that your h value is usually subtracted from x. to check your vertex, try plugging it into your general equation:
f(x) = a|x - (-5)| + 7
f(x) = a|x + 5| + 7 ... you see that this matches your given equation. this last part here was just to show why your 5 must be negative; your answer is bolded.

Please help ASAP. I am confused

Lesechka [4]

Answer:

So if ∠X is 70° then ∠Y is most likely going to be 70° as well. So if you take 180° which is a straight line and subtract both of the 70°'s you'd get 40°. This answer seems pretty accurate to me.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helps you out! :)

Write and solve and equation to find how many movies they have time to show.

GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Equation 0.5 + 1.75(x) = 4

x = 2movies

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

movie night will last for 4 hours

each movie take 1.75 hours

time for eating popcorn 0.5 hours

To find,

number of movies which can be watched

<h2>Equation</h2><h2>0.5 + 1.75(x) = 4</h2><h2>Solve for x</h2><h3>1.75(x) = 4 - 0.5</h3><h3>1.75(x) = 3.5</h3><h3>x = 3.5/1.75</h3><h3>x = 2 </h3>

So, total number of movies which could be watched in 4hr = 2

Answer as many as you can please (write in slope-intercept form)

RoseWind [281]

Answer: See below

Step-by-step explanation:

For the first one, we are already given our slope. All we need to do is find the y-intercept, b.

y=-2x+b

6=-2(-3)+b

6=6+b

b=0

The slope-intercept form is y=-2x.

For the second one, we need to first find the slope using $m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$ .

$m=\frac{1-13}{3-(-6)} =\frac{-12}{9}$

Now that we have our slope, we can plug it into our slope-intercept form to solve for b.

$y=-\frac{12}{9} x+b$

$3=-\frac{12}{9}(1)+b$

$-\frac{9}{4} =b$

The slope-intercept form is $y=-\frac{12}{9} -\frac{9}{4}$ .

For the third one, we are already given the slope, so all we have to do is find b.

$y=-\frac{1}{2}x +b$

$-7=-\frac{1}{2} (-4)+b$

$-7=2+b$

$-9=b$

The slope-intercept form is $y=-\frac{1}{2} x-9$ .

For the last one, we need to first find the slope using $m=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }$ .

$m=\frac{-8-2}{3-1}=\frac{-10}{2} =-5$

Now that we have our slope, we can plug it into our slope-intercept form and find b.

$y=-5x+b$

$2=-5(1)+b$

$2=-5+b$

$7=b$

Our slope-intercept form is $y=-5x+7$ .
