Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide all three terms by 2 to isolate x:

|x + 5/2| > 0.25

Case 1:  x + 5/2 > 0.25 (no absolute value symbol needed), or x > -2.25

Case 2:   -(x + 5/2) > 0.25.  Multiplying both sides by -1 yields

                 x + 5/2 < -0.25.  Subtracting 5/2 from both sides:  x < 5.45

The solution set is    -2.25 < x < 5.45.

Answer:

x < - 2.75, and x > - 2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we can apply the absolute value rule " If say | u | > a, and a > 0, then u < - a, and u > a. " If  a were to be less than 0 ( a < 0 ) then their would be infinitely many solutions as the absolute value will always be greater than or equal to 0.

In this case let us consider both options, u < - a, and u > a,

2x + 5 < - 0.5 or 2x + 5 > 0.5 - solving for each of these inequalities we can combine both intervals and receive the solution

2x + 5 < - 0.5 : 2x < - 5.5, x < - 5.5 / 2, x < - 2.75

2x + 5 > 0.5 : 2x > - 4.5, x > - 4.5 / 2, x > - 2.25

Our solution is hence x < - 2.75, and x > - 2.25. Combining each of the intervals we receive our solution. Note that we can't represent this as one compound inequality as their signs differ.

During a tunnel construction project, engineers used explosives to excavate partway into a mountain. Because of time constraints
AnnyKZ [126]

The given data can be tabulated as:

number of days,x                            length of tunnel (ft), y

0                                                                              225

5                                                                              350

20                                                                           725

30                                                                           975

55                                                                           1,600

 

To check if the growth is linear, the slope at points (0, 225) and (5, 350), and (0, 225) and (20, 725) should be equal. The formula for slope is:

m = (y2 – y1) / (x2 – x1)

 

Finding for slope (0, 225) and (5, 350):

m = (350 – 225) / (5 – 0) = 25

 

Finding for slope (0, 225) and (20, 725):

m = (725 – 225) / (20 – 0) = 25

 

Therefore the equation is linear in the form of:

y = mx + b

where b is the value of y at x = 0, so b = 225

 

The complete equation is:

y = 25x + 225

 

At x = 86 days

y = 25(86) + 225

y = 2,375 ft

 

Therefore the length of the completed tunnel is 2,375 feet.
