Step-by-step explanation:

collin is correct and incorrect at the same time. when you solve this, you start with adding like terms.

10x and -11x will be added together to be -1x, after we figure this out, we solve.

-1x+7<-20

-7 -7

-1x<-27

/-1 /-1

x<27

after you solve, you notice that x is less than 27. collin has the correct answer for solving the equation, but if were looking on a more technical note, he would be incorrect because he said the answer is 27, when the answer is actually less than 27. therefore, collin has solved the inequality correctly, but he has said the answer incorrectly

grigory [225]

ANSWER

$\Rightarrow y=\frac{1}{2}|x|$

EXPLANATION

We want to find the absolute value function for the line in blue.

The general form of an absolute value function is:

$y=a|x-h|+k$

where (h, k) = vertex

From the line, the vertex of the graph in blue is:

$(0,0)$

To find a, we have to pick a point (x, y) on the line and input it into the general function.

Let us pick (2, 1).

Therefore, we have:

$\begin{gathered} 1=a|2-0|+0 \\ 1=a|2|=2a \\ \Rightarrow a=\frac{1}{2} \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the absolute value function is:

$\begin{gathered} y=\frac{1}{2}|x-0|+0 \\ \Rightarrow y=\frac{1}{2}|x| \end{gathered}$

The length of a rectangular prism is 12 inches, and its width is 8 inches. The height of the prism is 16 inches. What is the sur

finlep [7]

Answer:

The answer to your question is letter B

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

length = 12 in

width = 8 in

height = 16 in

surface area = ?

Formula

Surface area = 2( length x width) + 2(length x height) + 2((width x height)

Substitution

Surface area = 2(12 x 8) + 2(12 x 16) + 2(8 x 16)

Simplification

Surface area = 256 + 384 + 102

Result

Surface area = 832 in²

Given that cot θ = 1/√5, what is the value of (sec²θ - cosec²θ)/(sec²θ + cosec²θ) ?

Bogdan [553]

Step-by-step explanation:

$\mathsf{Given :\;\dfrac{{sec}^2\theta - co{sec}^2\theta}{{sec}^2\theta + co{sec}^2\theta}}$

$\bigstar\;\;\textsf{We know that : \large\boxed{\mathsf{{sec}\theta = \dfrac{1}{cos\theta}}}}$

$\bigstar\;\;\textsf{We know that : \large\boxed{\mathsf{co{sec}\theta = \dfrac{1}{sin\theta}}}}$

$\mathsf{\implies \dfrac{\dfrac{1}{cos^2\theta} - \dfrac{1}{sin^2\theta}}{\dfrac{1}{cos^2\theta} + \dfrac{1}{sin^2\theta}}}$

$\mathsf{\implies \dfrac{\dfrac{sin^2\theta - cos^2\theta}{sin^2\theta.cos^2\theta}}{\dfrac{sin^2\theta + cos^2\theta}{sin^2\theta.cos^2\theta}}}$

$\mathsf{\implies \dfrac{sin^2\theta - cos^2\theta}{sin^2\theta + cos^2\theta}}$

Taking sin²θ common in both numerator & denominator, We get :

$\mathsf{\implies \dfrac{sin^2\theta\left(1 - \dfrac{cos^2\theta}{sin^2\theta}\right)}{sin^2\theta\left(1 + \dfrac{cos^2\theta}{sin^2\theta}\right)}}$
