-10-|1+4b|=-19 Y = 0

Mathematics
1 answer:
alexandr402 [8]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

b=2 or b=-2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve absolute value equations the same as any other equation using inverse operations. However, the inverse operation for absolute value requires one special condition. Since absolute values change a number to a positive regardless if it has a negative sign, we have two possible answers. When we have the absolute value operation isolated, we will set it equal to both the negative and positive option.  

-10-|1+4b|=-19\\-10+10-|1+4b|=-19+10\\-|1+4b|=-9\\\frac{-|1+4b|}{-1} =\frac{-9}{-1} \\|1+4b|=9

We now have the absolute value isolated. We will set it equal to both 9 and -9.

1+4b=9\\1-1+4b=9-1\\4b=8\\b=2

and

1+4b=-9\\1-1+4b=-9-1\\4b=-10\\b=\frac{-10}{4}=\frac{-5}{2}=  -2.5

Which of the following are roots of the polynomial function? Check all that apply f(x) = x^3 + 3x^2 - 9x + 5
lakkis [162]

Answer:

x = 1 or x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

x^3 + 3 x^2 - 9 x + 5 = 0

The left hand side factors into a product with two terms:

(x - 1)^2 (x + 5) = 0

Split into two equations:

(x - 1)^2 = 0 or x + 5 = 0

Take the square root of both sides:

x - 1 = 0 or x + 5 = 0

Add 1 to both sides:

x = 1 or x + 5 = 0

Subtract 5 from both sides:

Answer:  x = 1 or x = -5

If C is the midpoint of AB and AB = 20, what is AC?
dexar [7]

Answer:

AC = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

AC+ BC =AB

If C is the midpoint then AC = BC

AC + AC = 20

2 AC = 20

Divide by 2

2AC /2 = 20/2

AC = 10
