We can tell that this absolute value function opens up, so the vertex will be at the x value where the output is the lowest. The lowest you can make |x+5| go is 0, because everything else will be a positive number is greater. The one x value that does that is -5. Plug in -5, and you will get |-5+5|-1=-1. So, the ordered pair for the vertex will be (-5,-1)

I need help understanding square roots

Vlad [161]

I wonder if you mean to write $\sqrt[3]{256}$ in place of $3\sqrt{256}$ ...

If you meant what you wrote, then we have

$\sqrt{256}=\sqrt{16^2}=16$

$3\sqrt{256}=3\cdot16=48$

If you meant to write $\sqrt[3]{256}$ (the cube root of 256), then we could go on to have

$\sqrt[3]{256}=\sqrt[3]{16^2}=\sqrt[3]{(4^2)^2}=\sqrt[3]{4^4}=\sqrt[3]{4^3\cdot4}=4\sqrt[3]4$

How would I solve <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%20x-%5Cfrac%7B5%7D%7B3%7D%20%3D-%5Cfrac%7B1%7D%7B2%7D%

sdas [7]

Multiply both sides of the equation by 12. Move the variables to the left-hand side and change its sign. Move the constant to the left-hand side and change its sign. Collect like terms. Add the numbers. Divide both sides of the equation by 12.

1/2 x - 5= - 1/2 x + 19/4
6x -20= - 6x + 57
6x + 6x= 57 + 20
12x= 57 + 20
12x= 77
ANSWER
x = 77/12
Alternative Form .
x = 6 5/12, x= 6.416

Select the correct answer. Which expression is an equivalent expression of 12x + 10 + 4y? 2(6x + 2y + 6) 3(4x + y + 10) 2(6x + 4

Illusion [34]

The answer would be 2(6x+5+2y) you can figure this out through the distributive property. 2(6x)=12x 2(5)=10 and 2(2y)= 4y this would reult in giving you the equation 12x+10+4y

Give an example of a job that would have a y-intercept of $0 and another with a y-intercept of $20. What do these y-intercepts m

strojnjashka [21]

Answer

I) A job pays $15/hr with no bonus first day pay.

II) A job pays $15/hr with a $20 bonus first day pay.

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercepts would represent additional income that is added on to the base wage. It means it is what the worker would already earn (one-time), adding on to their standard pay.

Let X represent hours, and the y-intercept be what is mentioned above.

I) 15x + 0

II) 15x + 20

Which drawing shows two lines that intersect at Point a ax, tab, two lines ab, straight x a.

leonid [27]

The drawing which shows two lines that intersect at Point, A is as represented in Choice 1: Top-left corner.

Discussion:

In geometry, a line or straight line was introduced by ancient mathematicians to represent straight objects with negligible width and depth.

Lines are therefore an idealization of such objects, which are often described in terms of two points or referred to using a single letter.

Ultimately, The drawing which shows two lines that intersect at Point, A are as represented in Choice 1: Top-left corner.
