Answer:

absolute vlaue inequality: |x-3| > 9; solved: x<-6 and x>12

Step-by-step explanation:

I’m going to start this off by saying I learned all this right now by just searching up how to solve an absolute inequality equation and watching one video, so this might not be an accurate explanation. (I’m pretty sure the answer’s right though)

So an absolute value inequality must be written like this:  

| x - a | *inequality* b

a is going to be the number that the inequality is centered around, in this case, 3. b will be how far you can deviate from that number, which in this case is 9.  

Now, you will have this:

|x - 3| *inequality* 9

Now, to find the inequality, you need to understand the wording. If it says “more than” as it does here, then you would have the greater-than symbol (>). If you have “less than” then you’d have the less-than symbol (<). If the problem says “at least b away” then it would be greater-than-or-equal to (≥), and likewise, if it says “at most b away” then it would be less-than-or-equal-to (≤).

So now we're at:

|x - 3| > 9

To solve the equation, you just need to subtract 9(b) from 3(a) and add 9(a) to 3(b) to get -6 and 12. Since x must be more than 9 units away, you would get:

x<-6 and x>12

Hope this is helpful!

MrMuchimi

Answer:

side of square is 2-x

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the square is side * side  or side ², so the expression for the side has to be square root of area

A = 4 -4x + x²

It should be recognized that 4 -4x + x²is a special product ( 2-x)² because this is a perfect square trinomial

side of square is 2-x

Synthetic Division x^3+9x^2-11x-13
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

You can't synthetic divide since there's no dividend. As you can't factor it so I figure you must've forgot to include something or there's no solution.

Select the equivalent expression . ( 8^ -5 2^ -2 )^ -4 =?
Vikki [24]

Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation:

When there is division inside a set of parentheses, you can distribute the power to each term. When you take a power to another power, you multiply the powers.

-5 x -4 = 20

-2 x -4 = 8

So your answer is:

\frac{8^2^0}{2^8}
