Answer:

The | signs are absolute value signs. Absolute value just makes a negative value turn positive, because technically there is no negative value. For example |-x+5| turns into x+5. If it's already positive, it stays the same. So basically, they're just acting as parenthesis right now. Just distribute the 3 and get 3x+15=7. subtract 17 and get 3x=-8. Divide both sides by three, and you should get x= -8/3. But wait, there's more. Since this is an absolute value equation, there should be more than one answer. Simply make the number on the other side negative. 3x+15=-7. subtract 15 and get -22. Keep going and your answer should be -22/3.

So in conclusion, your two answers are -8/3 and -22/3.

            Find the approximate solution of this system of equations.
Montano1993 [528]
Y = |x² - 3x + 1|
y = x - 1

|x² - 3x + 1| = x - 1
|x² - 3x + 1| = ±1(x - 1)
|x² - 3x + 1| = 1(x - 1)       or      |x² - 3x + 1| = -1(x - 1)
|x² - 3x + 1| = 1(x) - 1(1)    or    |x² - 3x + 1| = -1(x) + 1(1)
|x² - 3x + 1| = x - 1        or         |x² - 3x + 1| = -x + 1
  x² - 3x + 1 = x - 1         or          x² - 3x + 1 = -x + 1
        - x        - x                                + x         + x
  x² - 4x + 1 = -1           or            x² - 2x + 1 = 1
              + 1 + 1                                       - 1 - 1
  x² - 4x + 1 = 0              or           x² - 2x + 0 = 0
  x = -(-4) ± √((-4)² - 4(1)(1))    or    x = -(-2) ± √((-2)² - 4(1)(0))
                      2(1)                                             2(1)
  x = 4 ± √(16 - 4)            or            x = 2 ± √(4 - 0)
                 2                                                 2
  x = 4 ± √(12)              or               x = 2 ± √(4)
             2                                                  2
 x = 4 ± 2√(3)               or               x = 2 ± 2
             2                                                2
 x = 2 ± √(3)                or                x = 1 ± 1
 x = 2 + √(3)  or  x = 2 - √(3)   or    x = 1 + 1    or    x = 1 - 1
                                                      x = 2       or       x = 0
y = x - 1          or           y = x - 1                            or    y = x - 1   or    y = x - 1
y = (2 + √(3)) - 1    or    y = (2 - √(3)) - 1          or         y = 2 - 1    or    y = 0 - 1
y = 2 - 1 + √(3)     or      y = 2 - 1 - √(3)          or           y = 1      or       y = -1
y = 1 + √(3)        or        y = 1 - √(3)               (x, y) = (2, 1)    or    (x, y) = (0, -1)
       (x, y) = (2 ± √(3), 1 ± √(3))

The solution (0, -1) can be made by one function (y = x - 1) while the solution (2 ± √(3), 1 ± √(3)) can be made by another function (y = |x² - 3x + 1|). So the solution (2, 1) can be made by both functions, making the two solutions equal.

Students were packed shoulder to shoulder in a gym for a pep rally. The students were in a rectangular shaped area of 7,500 ft2.
hram777 [196]

Answer: 1527

Step-by-step explanation:

Total Area = 7500 ft^2

Area covered by one student = Area of one circle

                                                   = π*r^2

r = radius of circle = 2.5/2 = 1.25 ft

Area covered by one student = π*1.25^2 = 4.91 ft^2

Number of students who can fit into total area = Total Area/Area covered by one student

Number of students who can fit into total area = 7500/4.91 = 1527.49

Hence the answer is 1527 students
