A publisher claims that the average salary paid at its company is $37,500, but it could differ by as much as $4,500. Write an ab

solute value inequality to determine the range of salaries at this company.
|x − 37,500| ≤ 4,500
|x − 4,500| ≤ 37,500
|x − 37,500| ≥ 4,500
|x − 4,500| ≥ 37,500

Answer:

|x − 37,500| ≤ 4,500

Step-by-step explanation:

salary - 37,500 can be up  +4500 or as negative -4500

as much as means less than or equal to

We use absolute values to indicate this

Answer:

|x − 37,500| ≤ 4,500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represents the new salary paid (In dollars ),

∵ The actual salary = $ 37,500

∵ Maximum difference in salaries = $ 4500

Case 1 : If x > 0

⇒ x - 37500 ≤ 4500 -----(1)

Case 2 : If x < 0

⇒ 37500 - x ≤ 4500

⇒ -(x-37500) ≤ 4500 -----(2)

By combining inequalities (1) and (2),

| x - 37500 | ≤ 4500  ( ∵ |a| < b ⇒ -a < b or a < b )

Which is the absolute value inequality to determine the range of salaries at this company.

FIRST option is correct.

Is 8x-2y=2 a direct or inverse variation
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Neither, why... for it to be direct or inverse variation, the model has to fit either y=k/x or y=kx, it may not have a y-intercept at all if it is inverse variation and it must have a y-intercept of 0 for it to be direct variation.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement y=2 is quite specific. Because k is positive, y increases as x increases. So as x increases by 1, y increases by 1.5. Inverse Variation: Because k is positive, y decreases as x increases.  yx is a constant number -8. The constant of variation, k , is 23 . Inverse Variation

An inverse variation can be represented by the equation xy=k or y=kx .

That is, y varies inversely as x if there is some nonzero constant k such that, xy=k or y=kx where x≠0,y≠0 .

Suppose y varies inversely as x such that xy=3 or y=3x . That graph of this equation shown.
