|2x-8| + 3 = 5 two solutions

Mathematics
1 answer:
Delicious77 [7]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The two solutions are 5 and 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the absolute has two solutions because IxI = a means x = a and x = -a

Let us solve the question using this fact

∵ I2x - 8I + 3 = 5

→ Subtract 3 from both sides

∴ I2x - 8I + 3 - 5 = 5 - 3

∴ I2x - 8I = 2

By using the fact above

→ 1st solution

∵ 2x - 8 = 2

→ Add 8 to both sides

∴ 2x - 8 + 8 = 2 + 8

∴ 2x = 10

→ Divide both sides by 2 to find x

∴ x = 5

→ 2nd solution

∵ 2x - 8 = -2

→ Add 8 to both sides

∴ 2x - 8 + 8 = -2 + 8

∴ 2x = 6

→ Divide both sides by 2 to find x

∴ x = 3

∴ The two solutions are 5 and 3

If x + 3 is a factor x^2 + kx + 2k, where k is a constant, what is the value of k?
Zolol [24]
What the statement means is that x^2 + kx + 2k = 0 when x = -3. That's because x + 3 will equal zero
(-3)^2 + (-3k) + 2k = 0
9 - 3k + 2k =0
9 - k = 0
9 =  k

Check
=====
x^2 + 9x + 18 = 0
(x + 3)(x + 6) = 0
These are the two factors. As expected from the givens one of them is (x + 3)

Help please 50 points!
Valentin [98]

Answer:

84%

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean has 50% below the mean and 50 % above the mean

The mean is 103.47

The standard deviation is 4.07

Add the mean and the standard deviation

103.47+4.07 = 107.54

We want to know how much data is below the mean plus one standard deviation

Within one standard deviation is 68% , but that is on both sides, we are  only needed on the right side so we need 1/2 of the 68 = 34

50+34 = 84

2. Why does a car speedometer only have positive values, even though you can move<br> in reverse?
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

Because it's measure the speed according to the car distance traveled and not the direction of the car movement.

Step-by-step explanation:

The newer cars have digital speedometers; the display would register as a forward speed while backing; and the odometer a positive distance as well. ... In those cars the odometer could run in reverse, subtracting miles.

There actually are simple... The newer cars have digital speedometers; the display would register as a forward speed while backing; and the odometer a positive distance as well. ... In those cars the odometer could run in reverse, subtracting miles
