Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

From the first sentence x (the number) is 2 more than another number (y). So, x+2=y. The sum of the squares of the two numbers is 42, meaning that \\ (x+2)^{2}+y^{2}=42. First, we square root the ENTIRE equation to get rid of the square. If you do one thing to one side, you have to do it to the other. After this, we have x+2+y=\sqrt{42}. Now, we subtract 2 from the other side to isolate the variable. You can isolate either one but normally I go for x. Now we have x+y=\sqrt{42}+2. Now, we want to get y to the other side so we subtract it from the left side and the right side which gives us x=-y+\sqrt{42}+2. now we know what X is equal to. Now we plug in x for \\ (x+2)^{2}+y^{2}=42, which gives us          (-y+\sqrt42}+2+2)^{2}+y^{2}=42. Now we only have one variable which is what we want. Next, we square root the entire thing to get rid of the squares, which gives us -y+\sqrt{42}+4+y=\sqrt{42}. I got lost in my work. I must have done something wrong I cant find out. If anyone wants to pick up where I left off go ahead but there's a timer and I have one minute left. I cant finish the problem in a minute. I'm sorry and hopefully I lead you somewhere.

It does not matter which he does first. Either way, zero pairs will be created on both sides, which will isolate the variable to determine x<span>. Adding the </span>x<span>-tiles and then the unit tile, or visa versa, will give the same solution.</span>

2. Define the absolute value function, y = |x|, as a piecewise function. Please include complete sentences and examples to justi
Mekhanik [1.2K]
Y = |x| = x if x ≥ 0, -x if x < 0

absolute value can be interpreted as a function that does not allow negative real numbers, forcing them to be positive (leaving 0 alone). if the input x is more than or equal 0, then x stays positive so there is no need to do anything: "x if x ≥ 0".
if the input is less than 0, then it is an negative number and needs a negative coefficient to negate the negative: "-x if x < 0"

example: if x = -3, then it will take the "-x if x < 0" piece resulting in y = -(-3) = 3, which is what |-3| does

if x = 1, it will take the "x if x ≥ 0" piece and just have y = 1 which is what |1| does.

for x = 0, it will take the "x if x ≥ 0" and just have y = 0 which is what |0| does
