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.

Answer:

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

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

Lelechka [254]
Make two equations representing the position of each animal, p and k, for the puppy and kitten respectively.

p=25t and k=180+20t  

The puppy will catch the kitten when p=k so we can say:

25t=180+20t  subtract 20t from both sides

5t=180  divide both sides by 5

t=36

So the puppy will catch the kitten after 36 seconds.

Answer:

3.605 ft is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying Pythagoras theorem,

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

2^2 + 3^2 = c^2

4 + 9 = c^2

13 = c^2

3.605 = c

therefore, the answer is 3.605.
