Remark

Remove the brackets. Then solve as a normal inequality.

Solution

4(x - 3) - 2(x - 1) > 0

4x - 12 - 2x + 2 > 0 Combine like terms on the left

4x - 2x - 12 + 2 > 0

2x - 10 > 0 Add 10 to both sides

2x > 10 Divide by 2

x > 10/2

x > 5

Answer: B

Discussion

C and D are both true but these questions always assume that you are going to pick the lowest value that will allow the inequality to be true. x> 7 and x>14 will be included in x>5

Can someone pls help me with proving that (f)x^2-2|x| is increasing over [1;infinity] and decreasing over [0;1] then deduce that

dedylja [7]

Derivatives galore. Don't forget you might need to split the function because of the absolute value.

Answer:

y=-1,0,1,2,3

Step-by-step explanation:

y=1x+1

y=1(-2)+1

y=-1

y=1(-1)+1

y=0

y=1(0)+1

y=1

y=1(1)+1

y=2

y=1(2)+1

The vertices of ∆ABC are A(2, 8), B(16, 2), and C(6, 2). what is the perimeter and area in square units

ad-work [718]

Check the picture below.

the triangle has that base and that height, recall that A = 1/2 bh.

now as for the perimeter, you can pretty much count the units off the grid for the segment CB, so let's just find the lengths of AC and AB,

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points}\\\\
\begin{array}{ccccccccc}
&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\
% (a,b)
&A&(~ 2 &,& 8~) 
% (c,d)
&C&(~ 6 &,& 2~)
\end{array}~~~ 
% distance value
d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2}
\\\\\\
AC=\sqrt{(6-2)^2+(2-8)^2}\implies AC=\sqrt{4^2+(-6)^2}
\\\\\\
AC=\sqrt{16+36}\implies AC=\sqrt{52}\implies AC=\sqrt{4\cdot 13}
\\\\\\
AC=\sqrt{2^2\cdot 13}\implies AC=2\sqrt{13}$

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points}\\\\
\begin{array}{ccccccccc}
&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\
% (a,b)
&A&(~ 2 &,& 8~) 
% (c,d)
&B&(~ 16 &,& 2~)
\end{array}\\\\\\
AB=\sqrt{(16-2)^2+(2-8)^2}\implies AB=\sqrt{14^2+(-6)^2}
\\\\\\
AB=\sqrt{196+36}\implies AB=\sqrt{232}\implies AB=\sqrt{4\cdot 58}
\\\\\\
AB=\sqrt{2^2\cdot 58}\implies AB=2\sqrt{58}$

so, add AC + AB + CB, and that's the perimeter of the triangle.
