A). |x| = |-x|
This is always true.
The definition of 'absolute' value is 'size of the number without its sign'.
That's what this expression says.
b). |x| = -|x|
This is never true, because an absolute value is never negative.
This one would true if x=0 . So maybe some people might say
it's sometimes true, but that doesn't feel right to me. I say never.
c). |-x| = -|x|
This looks to me like exactly the same situation as (b),
and I would say all the same things about it.
Answer:
29 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
If he earned $404.70 per 19 hours, you do 404.70/19 to figure out the amount he earns per hour. 404.7/19 is 21.3. He earns $21.3 per hour. to solve, you find how many times 21.3 goes into 617.7 or 617.7/21.3. That is 29. He needs to work 29 hours to earn $617.70
( - ∞, 3) ∪ (3, ∞ )
The domain is the set of values of x which make f(x) defined
The denominator of f(x) cannot be zero as this would make f(x) undefined. Equating the denominator to zero and solving gives the value that x cannot be.
solve x - 3 = 0 ⇒ x = 3
domain : (- ∞, 3) ∪ (3, ∞ )

We can see that triangle JKM is a right triangle, with right angle at M. Segment KM is 6 units and segment MJ is 3 units. We can also see that KJ is hypotenuse of right triangle.
We will use Pythagoras theorem to solve for KJ as:




Now we will take positive square root on both sides:



Therefore, the length of line segment KJ is
and option D is the correct choice.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's represent the two integers with the variables
and
.
From the problem statement, we can create the following two equations:


With the first equation, we can subtract
from both sides to isolate the
variable to the left-hand side:

Now that we have a value for
, we can plug it into the second equation and solve for
:


Now, let's move everything to one side of the equation:

Factoring this quadratic will give us two values for
:


Since we now know
, we can plug this back into either of the original equations to get a value for
, which will be
.
So the two numbers that sum to
and have a product of
are
.
