2|x + 5| = 16

|x + 5| = 16 ÷ 2

|x + 5| = 8

x + 5 = 8   (a)

x = 3

-(x + 5) = 8   (b)

-x - 5 = 8

-x = 13

x = -13

x = 3, -13

The first step would be to divide both sides by 2...because u want to get the absolute value on one side, and everything else on the other side

2 | x + 5 | = 16...divide both sides by 2
| x + 5 | = 16/2
| x + 5 | = 8

u would then solve x + 5 = 8 and x + 5 = -8 for ur answers

Find the quadratic function that has the vertex (4,5) and passes through the point (8,21) If possible, can you explain the work?
Ganezh [65]
Start by looking at the vertex form of a quadratic function, f(x) = a(x - h)^2 + k. The variables h and k are the values of the vertex. Plug those in to get f(x) = a(x - 4)^2 + 5. To find the variable a, plug in the point given for the x and y values. So, you get (21) = a((8) - 4)^2 + 5. Solve for a algebraically, and you get a = 1. Finally, plug everything in and simplify the equation. You should get that the quadratic function is f(x) = x^2 - 8x + 21. Hope this helps!

Explain how to evaluate f(g(0)).
alekssr [168]

Answer as a fraction:  17/6

Answer in decimal form: 2.8333  (approximate)

==================================================

Work Shown:

Let's use the two black points to determine the equation of the red f(x) line.

Use the slope formula to get...

m = slope

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (4-0.5)/(2-(-1))

m = (4-0.5)/(2+1)

m = 3.5/3

m = 35/30

m = (5*7)/(5*6)

m = 7/6

Now use the point slope form

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 0.5 = (7/6)(x - (-1))

y - 0.5 = (7/6)(x + 1)

y - 0.5 = (7/6)x + 7/6

y = (7/6)x + 7/6 + 0.5

y = (7/6)x + 7/6 + 1/2

y = (7/6)x + 7/6 + 3/6

y = (7/6)x + 10/6

y = (7/6)x + 5/3

So,

f(x) = (7/6)x + 5/3

We'll use this later.

---------------------

We ultimately want to compute f(g(0))

Let's find g(0) first.

g(0) = 1 since the point (0,1) is on the g(x) graph

We then go from f(g(0)) to f(1). We replace g(0) with 1 since they are the same value.

We now use the f(x) function we computed earlier

f(x) = (7/6)x + 5/3

f(1) = (7/6)(1) + 5/3

f(1) = 7/6 + 5/3

f(1) = 7/6 + 10/6

f(1) = 17/6

f(1) = 2.8333 (approximate)

This ultimately means,

f(g(0)) = 17/6 as a fraction

f(g(0)) = 2.8333 as a decimal approximation
