Ben’s favorite deli says the average serving time is 12 minutes. Ben notices that the wait time at the deli varies at different

times of day, before and after noon. His observations when the wait time is as advertised can be represented by the equation 2|x − 2| − 12 = 0. Solve for the times when the serving time is as advertised, relative to noon. Group of answer choices 7 AM 6 PM 4 PM 1 PM 10 PM 3 PM 7 PM 9 PM 10 AM 6 AM Noon 5 PM 2 PM 8 AM 11 AM 8 PM 9 AM

Step-by-step explanation:

Given Ben's observations when the wait time is as advertised represented by the equation 2|x − 2| − 12 = 0, to get the times when the serving time is as advertised, relative to noon, we will calculate for the value of x in the equation;

Note that the modulus of the function |x-2| will return both positive and negative value.

For the positive value of |x-2|;

2|x − 2| − 12 = 0

2(x − 2) − 12 = 0

open the parenthesis

2x-4 - 12 = 0

2x - 16 = 0

add 16 to both sides

2x-16+16 = 0+16

2x = 16

x = 16/2

x = 8

For the negative value of |x-2|;

2|x − 2| − 12 = 0

-2(x − 2) − 12 = 0

open the parenthesis

-2x+4 - 12 = 0

-2x - 8 = 0

add 8 to both sides

-2x-8+8 = 0+8

-2x = 8

x = -8/2

x = -4

Hence the times when the serving time is as advertised, relative to noon are 8minutes and 4minutes

Which of the following statements are not true regarding functions?
MArishka [77]

Answer:

(B) A function is a relation in which each value of the input variable is

paired with at least one value of the output variable.

(D) The vertical line test may be used to determine whether a function

is one-to-one.

Both of these are incorrect/false statements

(I used these in my test on Apex and got both correct)

This means that if the question was reversed and asking about the statements are true, the answers would be:

(A) A sequence is a function whose domain is the set of natural

numbers.

(C) The horizontal line test may be used to determine whether a

function is one-to-one.
