Answer:

<h2>For c = 5 → two solutions</h2><h2>For c = -10 → no solutions</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

We know

|a|\geq0

for any real value of <em>a</em>.

|a| = b > 0 -  <em>two solutions: </em>a = b or a = -b

|a| = 0 - <em>one solution: a = 0</em>

|a| = b < 0 - <em>no solution</em>

<em />

|x + 6| - 4 = c

for c = 5:

|x + 6| - 4 = 5           <em>add 4 to both sides</em>

|x + 6| = 9 > 0   <em>TWO SOLUTIONS</em>

for c = -10

|x + 6| - 4 = -10           <em>add 4 to both sides</em>

|x + 6| = -6 < 0   <em>NO SOLUTIONS</em>

<em></em>

Calculate the solutions for c = 5:

|x + 6| = 9 ⇔ x + 6 = 9 or x + 6 = -9         <em>subtract 6 from both sides</em>

x = 3 or x = -15

Let A represent the speed of car A. Using your formula,
.. A*2 = D
.. (A +15)*1.5 = D . . . . . the same distance in a shorter time at a higher speed

Equating the two expressions for D, we get
.. 2A = 1.5(A +15)
.. 2A = 1.5A +22.5 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
.. 0.5A = 22.5 . . . . . . . . .subtract 1.5A
.. A = 22.5/0.5 = 45 . . . .divide by 0.5
Car B was 15 mph faster than this.

Car B traveled at 60 miles per hour.

Consider the equation below (in screenshot)
frozen [14]

The <em>approximate</em> solution of the equation shown in the picture is x ≈ 39 / 8 (Right choice: B).

<h3>How to find an approximate solution of a one-variable equation</h3>

The solution of the equation is between x = 4 and x = 5. Now we begin by evaluating each side of the expression (f(x) = x² - 5 · x + 4, g(x) = 2 / (x - 1)) at the average of x = 4 and x = 5.

x = (4 + 5) / 2

x = 4.5

f(4.5) = 4.5² - 5 · 4.5 + 1

f(4.5) = - 5 / 4

g(4.5) = 2 / (4.5 - 1)

g(4.5) = 4 / 7

The solution of the equation is between x = 4.5 and x = 5, then we evaluate at the average:

x = (4.5 + 5) / 2

x = 4.75

f(4.75) = 4.75² - 5 · 4.75 + 1

f(4.75) = - 3 / 16

g(4.75) = 2 / (4.75 - 1)

g(4.75) = 8 / 15

The solution of the equation is between x = 4.75 and x = 5, then we evaluate at the average:

x = (4.75 + 5) / 2

x = 4.875

f(4.875) = 4.875² - 5 · 4.875 + 1

f(4.875) = 25 / 64

g(4.875) = 2 / (4.875 - 1)

g(4.875) = 16 / 31

The <em>approximate</em> solution of the equation shown in the picture is x ≈ 39 / 8 (Right choice: B).

What is the f of x over the g of x when f(x) = 6x3 − 19x2 + 16x − 4 and g(x) = x − 2? (2 points)
VikaD [51]
You're being asked to divide 6x^3 - 19x^2 + 16x - 4 by x - 2.

Try using synthetic division, if you know it:

     _______________
2  /   6    -19    16    -4
              12     -14    4
    --------------------------
        6     -7       2     0

6, -7 and 2 are the coefficients of the quotient.  The quotient (answer to this question) is

6x^2 - 7x + 2
