Answer:
You could just replace all the given possible values of k in the inequality and see which ones are solutions, but let's solve this in a more interesting way:
First, remember how the absolute value works:
IxI = x if x ≥ 0
IxI = -x if x ≤ 0
Then if we have something like:
IxI < B
We can rewrite this as
-B < x < B
Now let's answer the question, here we have the inequality:
I-k -2I < 18
Then we can rewrite this as:
-18 < (-k - 2) < 18
Now let's isolate k:
first, we can add 2 in the 3 parts of the inequality:
-18 + 2 < -k - 2 + 2 < 18 + 2
-16 < -k < 20
Now we can multiply all sides by -1, remember that this also changes the direction of the signs, then:
-1*-16 > -1*-k > -1*20
16 > k > -20
Then k can be any value between these two limits.
So the correct options (from the given ones) are:
k = -16
k = -8
k = 0
Answer: The graph crosses the x-axis at x = 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
The root has a multiplicity of 3, meaning that it crosses the x axis at x=2.
Answer:
{x, y, z} = {-4, 2, 4}

Answer:
21 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
You could either do
3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 + 3 = 21
or
3 x 7 = 21
Answer: (C) shifts 6 units to the LEFT
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
The vertex form of an absolute value equation is:
y = a |x - h| + k where;
- a is the vertical stretch (irrelevant for this problem)
- (h, k) is the vertex
Since h represents the x-coordinate and the x-axis is left to right, then h shifts the graph left or right.
- If h is negative, the graph shifts to the left.
- If h is positive, the graph shifts to the right.
x + 6 is actually x - (-6), so h is negative and the graph shifts to the left.
