They're not equivalent.
(vertical bars) represents the absolute value of x. How it works is that it turns negative numbers positive but leaves 0 and positive numbers alone (hence it gets a number's distance from 0 on the number line).
![[x]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Bx%5D)
(square brackets) usually represents the floor function, which returns the largest integer that is less than or equal to x. (The floor of x can also be written as 
--- it depends on what your textbook/source says).
To solve 
, you first transform it into the equivalent equation 
. Then by definition of absolute value, there are only two solutions for the first equation: x = 10 or x = -10.
[x] = 10 has infinitely many solutions. For example, the floor of 10 is 10, so ![[10] = 10](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B10%5D%20%3D%2010)
, thus a solution for the second equation is x = 10
The floor of 10.1 is 10, so ![[10.1] = 10](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B10.1%5D%20%3D%2010)
, thus another solution for the second equation is x = 10.1.
The two equations do not have the same solution set (as x = 10.1 does not solve |x| - 3 = 7 but solves [x] = 10), so they're not equivalent.
Answer:
59/9
Step-by-step explanation:
d=100. 12/4=3 min/lap
12mins 4 laps. 100/180= 59/9
R=50
2(pie)(50)=100(pie)
IT IS 6 2/3 BECAUSE 6 GOES INTO 40 6 TIMES WITH A REMAINDER OF 4. SO, IT IS 6 4/6. YOU GOT TO SIMPLY SO IT IS 6 2/3
Answer: Person, I am sorry!
Step-by-step explanation: I Don't know!
Answer:
Top right graph.
Step-by-step explanation:
The graph of f(x) = x has a slope of 1, and is increasing to the right until the point where x = -1.
The graph of f(x) = -x has a slope of -1 decreasing to the right from the point where x = -1.
The clear small circle means that the point is not included in the function ( because of the '<' ).
The filled circle means it is included ( the '≥').
