Answer:

x = 18 or x = -12.

Step-by-step explanation:

||x-3|-5| = 10 only if |x-3|-5 = 10 or |x-3|-5 = -10, i.e., if |x-3|=15 or |x-3|=-5; but |x-3| cannot be equal to -5, because |x-3| should be a non-negative value. Therefore, the first equation is true only if |x-3|=15. |x-3| = 15 only if x-3 = 15 or x-3 = -15, i.e., x = 18 or x = -12. We can verify this in the following way: ||18-3|-5|=||15|-5|=|10|=10 and ||-12-3|-5|=||-15|-5|=|15-5|=|10|=10. This verify that our solution is correct.

Identify the graph of 3i (See figures).

iren2701 [21]

Any complex number can be written in fallowing form:
Z = x + yi

When drawing complex numbers as point on x,y coordinate system we can use variables x and y to represent our coordinates in x y coordinate system.

Our complex number is:
Z = 3i which means
x = 0 and y = 3
x is real part of complex number and we draw it on x axis (real number axis) and y is imaginery part and we draw it on y axis (imaginery axis)

answer is point with coordinates (0,3) Graph 1

More on Areas. Farmer Jones, and his wife, Dr. Jones, both mathematicians, decide to build a fence in their field to keep the sh

Olin [163]

Answer:

Area covered by the fences will be 16.1 unit²

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first parabola is represented by the function f(x) = 6x²

and second parabola by g(x) = x² + 9

point of intersection of the graphs will be determined when f(x) = g(x)

6x² = x² + 9

5x² = 9

x² = 1.8

x = ± 1.34

Now we will find the area between these curves drawn on the graph.

Area = $\int_{-1.34}^{1.34}[f(x)-g(x)]dx=\int_{-1.34}^{1.34}[6x^{2}-(x^{2}+9)]dx$

= $\int_{-1.34}^{1.34}(5x^{2}-9)dx$

= $[\frac{5}{3}x^{3}-9x]_{-1.34}^{1.34}$

= $[\frac{5}{3}(-1.34)^{3}-9(-1.34)-\frac{5}{3}(1.34)^{3}+9(1.34)]$

= $[-4.01+12.06-4.01+12.06]$

= 16.1 unit²

A midwestern music competition awarded 38 ribbons. The number of blue ribbons awarded was 1 less than the number of white ribbon

Artist 52 [7]

Starting from what I know (the difference between ribbons), I decided to go from the bottom and work my way up. I then noticed a pattern (each sum was three more of the previous one), and decided to keep my pattern of the three numbers but not have to do any major mental work and instead add three to the previous sum until I got to 38.
