Absolute value is a function that takes some number and outputs the size of that number, regardless of the sign. By definition, |x|=x if x\ge0, and |x|=-x if x.

For example,

  • |2| = 2 because the input 2 is positive, so the input is unchanged;
  • |-3| = -(-3) = 3 because the input -3 is negative, so the sign is switched.

What this means for this problem is that there are two cases to consider:

  • If x+\frac13\ge0, then \left|x+\frac13\right|=x+\frac13, so that

4\left(x+\dfrac13\right)=20\implies x+\dfrac13=5\implies\boxed{x=\dfrac{14}3}

  • On the other hand, if x+\frac13, then \left|x+\frac13\right|=-\left(x+\frac13\right), so

-4\left(x+\dfrac13\right)=20\implies x+\dfrac13=-5\implies\boxed{x=-\dfrac{16}3}

Mrs. avery is going to randomly select one student from her class to read a poem out loud. there are 151515 boys and 131313 girl
arlik [135]
P(boy) is asking for the probability that a boy will be chosen to read a poem out loud. Since there are 15 boys, we can get the probability by dividing this with the total number of students. This is because out of all the students, there is an equal possibility that each of the 15 boys will be chosen.

\frac{15}{15+13}= \frac{15}{28}=0.5357

ANSWER: The probability that a boy is selected is 0.5357 or 53.57%

The height
andre [41]

The ball describes a parabola, as you can see in the attached picture. So, the point where the ball strike the ground is the point where the parabola meets the x axis. In fact, the x-axis is the set of points where y=0, which means that the ball has height 0 or -again- it hits the ground.

So, we have to set y=0 in our equation and look for the positive solution. We have

-\dfrac{1}{14}x^2+6x+3=0 \iff x=42\pm\sqrt{1806}

And the positive solution is

42+\sqrt{1806}

So that's the distance from the child where the ball strikes the ground.
