X-5= 20
x-5= -20

Absolute value makes a negative positive, so when you are solving x-5 could have been 20 originally or -20 originally. Solve for both.

When setting up to solve an absolute value equation you need to remember that whatever is inside the bars represents a distance of, in this case, 20 units from zero on the number line. This can be 20 to the right or 20 to the left. For this reason we must set up TWO equations and solve both of them.
x - 5 = 20 and x - 5 = - 20

It is a solid shape that contains lateral surface and two circular bases which are parallel and congruent.
ad-work [718]

Answer:

B (cylinder)

Step-by-step explanation:

Two <u>circular</u> bases which are parallel and congruent :

This basically means that the shape contains a circular base (supposedly the bottom), but since it has two bases, its on the top and the bottom. Because it's congruent, the bases are both equal in shape and size. It is also parallel as well, in which the bases have the same distance between them.

The cube doesn't have any circular bases.

The sphere doesn't have any faces, nor edges.

A cone has a circular base, but it doesn't have two.

A cylinder has two circular bases, as well as they are parallel and congruent.

So, your answer is B (cylinder).

Hope this helped !

3^-2 expanded form
Zanzabum

3^(-2) = 1/(3^2) = 1/(3*3) = 1/9

The rule used here is x^(-y) = 1/(x^y) to make the exponent positive.

3^2 turns into 3*3 because the exponent 2 tells us how many copies of the base '3' to multiply out.

Which of the following behaviors would best describe someone who is listening and paying attention? a) Leaning toward the speake
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

If you ask questions while their speaking it shows that you are paying attention to them. Avoiding eye contact could mean your thinking about something else or you aren't interested. Interrupting them is just being disrespectful. Leaning towards them doesn't really do anything other than you moving.

tangare [24]

3 and -3 are said to be the square roots of 9. A square root is written with a radical symbol √ and the number or expression inside the radical symbol, below denoted a, is called the radicand. ... Negative numbers don't have real square roots since a square is either positive or 0.

An aircraft factory manufactures airplane engines. The unit cost (the cost in dollars to make each airplane engine) depends on t
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

Minimum unit cost = 5,858

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function : C(x)=x^2−520x+73458

To find the minimum unit cost :

Take the derivative of C(x) with respect to x

dC/dx = 2x - 520

Set = 0

2x - 520

2x = 520

x = 260

To minimize unit cost, 260 engines must be produced

Hence, minimum unit cost will be :

C(x)=x^2−520x+73458

Put x = 260

C(260) = 260^2−520(260) + 73458

= 5,858
