The coefficient is the number in front of the variable. If there isn't a number, it is understood to be a 1
THE ANSWER IS A:
This is the function:
f(x)=|42.67-x|.
42.670 -.002 =42.668
42.668 mm to 42.670
Explanation:
Production will be stopped if the difference in diameter is greater than 0.002 mm.
This difference can mean that the golf ball has a diameter more than 0.002 larger than 42.67 mm, or a diameter more than 0.002 smaller than 42.67. This is the reason for using an absolute value function.
Absolute value represents the distance a number is from 0. For this function, we would want only the values where the function is less than 0.002.
12% of 130 is 15.6 hope it helps!
The equation is 
<u>Explanation:</u>
We have to first find the mid-point of the segment, the formula for which is

So, the midpoint will be 
= 
It is the point at which the segment will be bisected.
Since we are finding a perpendicular bisector, we must determine what slope is perpendicular to that of the existing segment. To determine the segment's slope, we use the slope formula 
The slope is
= 
Perpendicular lines have opposite and reciprocal slopes. The opposite reciprocal of
is 
To write an equation, substitute the values in y = mx + c
WHere,
y = -1
x = 3
m = 3/2
Solving for c:

Thus, the equation becomes:
