Answer:

Answer in explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

When we talk of compression of gases, what we are talking about is simply the reduction in the volume of the gases. When we compress a volume of a gas, we are looking at reducing the volume of the gas in question.

Now, let’s work through this. The postulate that works in this scenario is that postulate about the interaction between the gas molecules whether attractive or repulsive are negligible. This is the driving force that dictates the compressibility of gases.

Gases are termed compressible because the the negligible force of attraction or repulsion between them confers a kind of fluidity to these gases. It is this fluidity that makes it possible for gases to be compressible.

If it was that the attractive or repulsive forces are not negligible, they would have posed a difficulty that would be dependent on the strength of the compressive forces to overcome

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Gases are compressible because most of the volume of a gas is composed of the large amounts of empty space between the gas particles.

The kinetic molecular theory postulate: "These particles are much smaller than the distance between particles". Most of the volume of a gas is therefore empty space.

Solve and graph the absolute value inequality: |4x + 1| ≤ 5.
Olegator [25]
<span>|4x + 1| ≤ 5
Subtract 1 from both sides
|4x| <= 5
Divide both sides by 4
Final Answer: |x| <= 1.25

I can't graph it though.</span>

What is the x in 5x+4x+45=180
vlada-n [284]
Finding x for 
5x + 4x + 45 = 180

1st step is to combine alike terms 
9x + 45 = 180
Now subtract 45 from both sides 
9x  = 135
Now divide by 9 
x = 15

Help on functions please.
dedylja [7]
A) Sub g(x) and h(x) into the equation:
x^2 + 3x - 40 - (-x -3)
= x^2 + 3x - 40 +x + 3
= x^2 + 4x - 37
Find x:
x= 4.40 and x= -8.40
b) Sub f(x) and g(x) into the equation: 
(x^2 - 64) / (x^2 + 3x -40)
= ((x+8) x (x-8)) / ((x+8) x (x-5))
= (x - 8) / (x-5)
Find x:
x= 8 and x = 5
How to get those number:
(x^2 - 64) = x^2 - 8^2 = (x-8) x (x+8)
( x^2 + 3x - 40) = (x^2 + +8x - 5x - 40) = x( x + 8) - 5( x + 8) = (x-5) x (x+8)

Try to do c and d :)
