mixer [17]2 years ago

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

The following sequence is geometric. What is the next term?
Kruka [31]
A geometric sequence is one where you multiply each number in the sequence by the same number. Here, obviously the number which you multiply by is 3, because 12 * 3 = 36, 36 * 3 = 108, 108 * 3 = 324, and in order to finish the sequence, you multiply 324 by 3 and get 972.
The correct answer is 972.

Question 14(Multiple Choice Worth 5 points)
ddd [48]

Answer:

Find all polar coordinates of point P where P = (5 , -pi+%2F6 ).

There are two sets of possibilities.

(1) Same (positive) magnitude and an angle that is the same as the given angle, or differs from the given angle by an even multiple of pi:

P = (5, -pi%2F6%2B2n%2Api )

(2) Opposite (negative) magnitude and an angle that differs from the given angle by an odd multiple of pi:

(-5, -pi%2F6%2B%282n%2B1%29pi)

answer is: (5,-pi%2F6+%2B+2n%2Api) or (-5, -pi%2F6%2B%282n%2B1%29pi)

An arc is 6.5 cm long and it subtends a central angle of 45 degrees. Find the radius of the circle.
Orlov [11]
Arc length = radius * central angle (measured in radians)
There are <span> <span> <span> 57.2957795131 </span> </span> </span> degrees per radian so
45 degrees = (45 / <span> <span> <span> 57.2957795131) = </span></span></span> <span> <span> <span> 0.7853981634 </span> </span> </span> radians<span><span> </span> </span>
radius = arc length / central angle (radians)
radius = 6.5 / <span> <span> 0.7853981634 </span> </span> radians = <span> <span> <span> 8.2760570408 </span> </span> </span> cm
