Option 2

The solution for - 3 | 2x + 6 | = - 12 is x = −1 and x = −5

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, equation is -3 | 2x + 6 | = - 12

We have to solve for the value of x and choose the correct options from given set of options.

Now, let us take the equation

- 3 | 2x + 6 | = - 12

3 | 2x + 6 | = 12

| 2x + 6 | = 4

2x + 6 = ± 4 [ since mod converts to ± by shifting to other side of the equation]

2x + 6 = 4 or 2x + 6 = -4

2x = 4 – 6 or 2x = - 4 – 6

2x = -2 or 2x = - 10

x = -1 or x = -5

Hence, values of x are -1 and -5, so option 2 is correct

Find the volume of the cubes or rectangular prisms in cubic centimeters.

DanielleElmas [232]

a) Volume of Rectangular prism is $\frac{36}{125}\,\,cm^3$

b) Volume of cube is $\frac{8}{125}\,\,cm^3$

c) Volume of cube is $\frac{1}{125}\,\,cm^3$

d) Volume of Rectangular prism is $\frac{6}{125}\,\,cm^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a)

Volume of rectangular prism with

length= $\frac{3}{5}\,\,cm$

width= $\frac{4}{5}\,\,cm$

height = $\frac{3}{5}\,\,cm$

The formula used to find Volume of rectangular prism is:

$Volume\,\,of\,\,rectangular\,\,prism=length*width*height$

Putting values:

$Volume\,\,of\,\,rectangular\,\,prism=\frac{3}{5} *\frac{4}{5} *\frac{3}{5}\\Volume\,\,of\,\,rectangular\,\,prism=\frac{36}{125}\,\,cm^3$

So, Volume of Rectangular prism is $\frac{36}{125}\,\,cm^3$

Part b)

Volume of cube with side length of $\frac{2}{5}\,\,cm$

The formula used to find Volume of cube is:

$Volume\,\,of\,\,cube=length^3$

Putting value of length and finding volume:

$Volume\,\,of\,\,cube=length^3\\Volume\,\,of\,\,cube=(\frac{2}{5})^3\\ Volume\,\,of\,\,cube=\frac{8}{125}\,\,cm^3$

So, Volume of cube is $\frac{8}{125}\,\,cm^3$

Part c)

Volume of cube with side length of $\frac{1}{5}\,\,cm$

The formula used to find Volume of cube is:

$Volume\,\,of\,\,cube=length^3$

Putting value of length and finding volume:

$Volume\,\,of\,\,cube=length^3\\Volume\,\,of\,\,cube=(\frac{1}{5})^3\\ Volume\,\,of\,\,cube=\frac{1}{125}\,\,cm^3$

So, Volume of cube is $\frac{1}{125}\,\,cm^3$

Part d)

Volume of rectangular prism with

length= $\frac{1}{5}\,\,cm$

width= $\frac{2}{5}\,\,cm$

height = $\frac{3}{5}\,\,cm$

The formula used to find Volume of rectangular prism is:

$Volume\,\,of\,\,rectangular\,\,prism=length*width*height$

Putting values:

$Volume\,\,of\,\,rectangular\,\,prism=\frac{1}{5} *\frac{2}{5} *\frac{3}{5}\\Volume\,\,of\,\,rectangular\,\,prism=\frac{6}{125}\,\,cm^3$

So, Volume of Rectangular prism is $\frac{6}{125}\,\,cm^3$

Answer:

17 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Since a square has 4 sides, you have to do 68 / 4 to find one of the sides.

68/4 = 17

And to check, if you add up all sides...

17+17+17+17 = 68

write an equation for a function at has a graph with the given characteristics. the shape of y=|x| is reflected across the y-axi

Luba_88 [7]

Refrection across the y-axis changes the function to y = |-x|.
Vertical stretch by a factor of 1.5 changes the graph to y = 1.5|-x|
Shifting the graph by 4 units downward changes the graph to y = 1.5|-x| - 4

Required equation is y = 1.5|-x| - 4
