Answer:

The solution of |3x-9|≤15 is [-2;8] and the solution |2x-3|≥5 of is  (-∞,2] ∪ [8,∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

When solving absolute value inequalities, there are two cases to consider.

Case 1: The expression within the absolute value symbols is positive.

Case 2: The expression within the absolute value symbols is negative.

The solution is the intersection of the solutions of these two cases.

In other words, for any real numbers a and b,

  • if |a|> b then a>b or a<-b
  • if |a|< b then a<b or a>-b

So, being |3x-9|≤15

Solving: 3x-9 ≤ 15

3x ≤15 + 9

3x ≤24

x ≤24÷3

x≤8

or 3x-9 ≥ -15

3x ≥-15 +9

3x ≥-6

x ≥ (-6)÷3

x ≥ -2

The solution is made up of all the intervals that make the inequality true. Expressing the solution as an interval: [-2;8]

So, being |2x-3|≥5

Solving: 2x-3 ≥ 5

2x ≥ 5 + 3

2x ≥8

x ≥8÷2

x≥8

or 2x-3 ≤ -5

2x ≤-5 +3

2x ≤-2

x ≤ (-2)÷2

x ≤ -2

Expressing the solution as an interval: (-∞,2] ∪ [8,∞)

What are the solutions to the equation x² + 16x + 14 = 0?
poizon [28]

Answer:

-8+5√2 and -8-5√2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression x² + 16x + 14 = 0

USing the general formulas

x = -16±√16²-4(14)/2

x = -16±√256-56/2

x = -16±√200/2

x = -16±10√2/2

x = -8±5√2

Hence the required solutions are -8+5√2 and -8-5√2

Xanthe and Sarah do some fundraising for their local nursing home. Together they raised $$$302. If Xanthe raised $$$102 more tha
Dimas [21]

Given :

Xanthe and Sarah together raised $302 .

If Xanthe raised $102 more than Sarah .

To Find :

The amount raised by Sarah .

Solution :

Let , amount raise by Sarah is x .

So , by the relation given , price raised by Xanthe is 102 + x .

Now , sum of their amount raised is :

x+(x+102)=302\\\\2x=302-102\\\\x=\$100

Therefore , the amount raised by Sarah is $100 .

Hence , this is the required solution .

Given the sequence 12, 9, 6, 3,........ where x = 0, 1, 2......,
Nitella [24]

Answer:

f(x) = -3x + 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The chart could be represented like this:

x             y

0            12

1             9

2            6

3            3

Suppose that f(x) = y

And substitute x values.

y = -3x + 12

"x = 0"

y = -3(0) + 12

y = 0 + 12

y = 12

"x = 3"

y = -3(3) + 12

y = -9 + 12

y = 3

From the results, it corresponds to the function.

6 Paul runs 1.5 km on the bearing 127°. a Draw a diagram of the situation. b How far east is Paul from his starting point? ( How
GenaCL600 [577]

By running in a bearing of 127°, Paul motion is in the south eastern direction.

Correct responses:

a. Please find attached the required diagram created with MS Visio

b. Paul's distance travelled east is approximately 11.98 km

  • Paul's distance travelled south is approximately 0.903 km

<h3>Method used for diagram and for the distance calculation</h3>

Given:

The distance Paul runs = 1.5 km

The bearing Paul is running = 127°

a. The bearing of path Paul runs, 127°, is the angle measured in the clockwise direction relative to the northern direction

Please find attached the diagram representing the situation, created with MS Visio.

b. Paul's distance travelled east relative to the starting point is given by the component of Paul's path in the x-axis direction which is found as follows;

  • Paul's distance east =  15 km × cos(37°) ≈ <u>11.98 km</u>

Pau's distance travelled in the south direction relative to the starting point

is given by the vertical distance travelled relative to the x-axis, which is

given as follows;

Distance Paul travels south = 1.5 km × sin(37°) ≈ <u>0.903 km</u>
