The absolute value of a number is however many places a number is away from 0 on a number line.
a. |-15| + |-26|
15 + 26
41
b. -|-40|
-40
c. |0.5| + |-1 1/2|
0.5 + 1 1/2
0.5 = 1/2
1/2 + 1 1/2
2
Answer:
p(x) = 7x - 20
Step-by-step explanation:
A company makes a profit selling goods when the revenue taken in from the sales is greater than the cost of those goods: p(x) = r(x) - c(x) > 0.
In this case the revenue function is r(x) = 12x; the cost function is c(x) = 5x + 20, and the profit function is p(x) = 12x - (5x + 20), or:
p(x) = 12x - 5x - 20, or
p(x) = 7x - 20
This problem is incomplete, but I think I know the probable question. Normally, you should have been given the target number of the company's video stores, so that you can replace the value of y and solve for x. Once you solve for x, you add this to year 1990 then you can solve for the year at which you can reach your target value. Suppose y = 3500 stores.
3500 = -264x + 4682
3500 - 4682 = -264x
-1182 = -264x
x = 4.48 years
Technically, that is equal to 4 years. Hence, the year would be 1990+4 = 1994.
Step-by-step explanation:
The square root of a fraction is the square root of the numerator over the square root of the denominator. In this case, 1/4. The square root of 1/16 = 1/4 Ans.
