The absolute value statement that describes the actual amount of feet represented by -323 feet below sea level is |-323| = 323 . The answer is B.
Answer:
(-2.4, 37.014)
Step-by-step explanation:
We are not told how to approach this problem.
One way would be to graph f(x) = x^5 − 10x^3 + 9x on [-3,3] and then to estimate the max and min of this function on this interval visually. A good graph done on a graphing calculator would be sufficient info for this estimation. My graph, on my TI83 calculator, shows that the relative minimum value of f(x) on this interval is between x=2 and x=3 and is approx. -37; the relative maximum value is between x= -3 and x = -2 and is approx. +37.
Thus, we choose Answer A as closest approx. values of the min and max points on [-3,3]. In Answer A, the max is at (-2.4, 37.014) and the min at (2.4, -37.014.
Optional: Another approach would be to use calculus: we'd differentiate f(x) = x^5 − 10x^3 + 9x, set the resulting derivative = to 0 and solve the resulting equation for x. There would be four x-values, which we'd call "critical values."

Answer:
2 1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
The heaviest bag weighs 4 pounds, and the lightest bag weighs 1 1/2.
4 can be converted to 8/2 and 1 1/2 can be converted to 3/2.
8/2-3/2=5/2.
5/2 converts to 2 and 1/2 or 2.5
