Answer: 3 or -3
Step-by-step explanation:
4 - |x| = 1
First subtract 4
-|x| = -3
The | | sign makes it both positive and negative
So -|3| and -|-3| will = -3
In order to write this quadratic equation in standard form, first note that standard form is ax^2+bx+c for quadratics, where c is the numerical value (constant), B is the coefficient of x, and a is the coefficient of x^2 and is the leading coefficient. Next, multiply the binomials of (x-7) and (x-1). You can do this by using FOIL, or by distributing each of the terms in a binomial to each of the other terms in the other binomial. (Please let me know if you need a walk through in this step in particular). Furthermore, you should then write y= (the simplified trinomial). Now, the quadratic is in standard form. To reiterate, just simplify the two binomials by multiplying them together and writing that they're equal to y.
You can add a lot of numbers (or so I think). One number I think you can add is 31.
<span>The correct answer is 6.
The clearest way to determine this is by creating a table of possible hand shaking. If we label the people A-D, the following are the ways they can be combined:
AB
AC
AD
BC
BD
CD
There are no other combinations. </span>
