Given the function f(x) = 0.5|x – 4| – 3, for what values of x is f(x) = 7?

Semenov [28]3 years ago

Answer:

x = - 16, x = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Given f(x) = 7 then equate f(x) to 7

0.5 | x - 4 | - 3 = 7 ( add 3 to both sides )

0.5 | x - 4 | = 10 ( divide both sides by 0.5 )

| x - 4 | = 20

The expression inside the absolute value bars can be positive or negative, so

x - 4 = 20 ( add 4 to both sides )

x = 24

OR

- (x - 4) = 20

- x + 4 = 20 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

- x = 16 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )

x = - 16

Two boats leave a dock at the same time. One boat travels south at 32 mi divided by hr32 mi/hr and the other travels east at 60
TEA [102]

Answer: the rate at which the distance between the boats is​ increasing is 68 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

The direction of movement of both boats forms a right angle triangle. The distance travelled due south and due east by both boats represents the legs of the triangle. Their distance apart after t hours represents the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle.

Let x represent the length the shorter leg(south) of the right angle triangle.

Let y represent the length the longer leg(east) of the right angle triangle.

Let z represent the hypotenuse.

Applying Pythagoras theorem

Hypotenuse² = opposite side² + adjacent side²

Therefore

z² = x² + y²

To determine the rate at which the distances are changing, we would differentiate with respect to t. It becomes

2zdz/dt = 2xdx/dt + 2ydy/dt- - - -- - -1

One travels south at 32 mi/h and the other travels east at 60 mi/h. It means that

dx/dt = 32

dy/dt = 60

Distance = speed × time

Since t = 0.5 hour, then

x = 32 × 0.5 = 16 miles

y = 60 × 0.5 = 30 miles

z² = 16² + 30² = 256 + 900

z = √1156

z = 34 miles

Substituting these values into equation 1, it becomes

2 × 34 × dz/dt = (2 × 16 × 32) + 2 × 30 × 60

68dz/dt = 1024 + 3600

68dz/dt = 4624

dz/dt = 4624/68

dz/dt = 68 mph

Kazeer [188]

Answer:

69

Step-by-step explanation:

by eliminating 20 from 84 we get 64 then add the 3 to get 67 and then we know that we always add 2 to our answers and therefore get 69

If f(x)=4x3+3x2−5x+20 and g(x)=9x3−4x2+10x−55, what is (g−f)(x)?
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(g-f)(x) = 9x³ - 4x² + 10x - 55 - [ 4x³ +3x² - 5x + 20]

To remove the parenthesis, take - inside, multiply f(x) by -1

= 9x³ - 4x² + 10x - 55 -  4x³ - 3x² + 5x - 20  

Now, bring like terms together,

= 9x³ - 4x³ - 4x² - 3x² + 10x + 5x - 55 - 20

= 5x³ - 7x² + 15x - 75
