Answer:

The answer is <em>1</em>.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression:

|z-6|-|z-5|,\ if\ z

To find:

The expression without absolute value.

Solution:

First of all, let us learn about the absolute value function:

y = f(x) = |x| =\left \{ {{x\ if\ x>0} \atop {-x\ if\ x

i.e. value is x if x is positive

value is -x if x is negative

Here the given expression contains two absolute value functions:

|z-6| and |z-5|

Using the definition of absolute value function as per above definition.

|z-5| =\left \{ {{(z-5)\ if\ z>5} \atop {-(z-5)\ if\ z

|z-6| =\left \{ {{(z-6)\ if\ z>6} \atop {-(z-6)\ if\ z

Now, it is given that z < 5 that means z will also be lesser than 6 i.e. z < 6

So, given expression |z-6|-|z-5|,\ if\ z will be equivalent to :

-(z-6) - (-(z-5))\\\Rightarrow -z+6 +z-5 = \bold{1}

So, the expression is equivalent to <em>1</em>.

Do the ratios 4/5 and 12/20 form a proportion?
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

No. They are not in proportion

Step-by-step explanation:

\sf \dfrac{4}{5} \ \text{is in the simplest form}

\sf \text{Simplest form of $\dfrac{12}{20}$} = \dfrac{12 \div 4}{20 \div 4}=\dfrac{3}{5}

So, they are not in proportion

Two times the greater of two consecutive integers is 9 less than three times the lesser integer. What are the integers?
blondinia [14]
Let the two integers be x and x + 1, then
2(x + 1) + 9 = 3x
2x + 2 + 9 = 3x
3x - 2x = 11
x = 11

Therefore, the integers are 11 and 12.

How do I do this problem?
Sedaia [141]
Use the reciprocal method. the first term is really 4 divided by 3/4. which is also the same as 4 multiplied by 4/3. that number is 16/3 of course. you then find a common denominator between the 2 terms. 16/3 and 3/2 can both have the denominator 6. The first term gets changed to 32/6 and the second can be changed to 9/6 and when 32/6 - 9/6 is done, it comes out to 23/6

23/6
