Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given Ben's observations when the wait time is as advertised represented by the equation 2|x − 2| − 12 = 0, to get the times when the serving time is as advertised, relative to noon, we will calculate for the value of x in the equation;
Note that the modulus of the function |x-2| will return both positive and negative value.
For the positive value of |x-2|;
2|x − 2| − 12 = 0
2(x − 2) − 12 = 0
open the parenthesis
2x-4 - 12 = 0
2x - 16 = 0
add 16 to both sides
2x-16+16 = 0+16
2x = 16
x = 16/2
x = 8
For the negative value of |x-2|;
2|x − 2| − 12 = 0
-2(x − 2) − 12 = 0
open the parenthesis
-2x+4 - 12 = 0
-2x - 8 = 0
add 8 to both sides
-2x-8+8 = 0+8
-2x = 8
x = -8/2
x = -4
<em>Hence the times when the serving time is as advertised, relative to noon are 8minutes and 4minutes </em>
Answer:
B. 24
Step-by-step explanation:
Since both triangles are similar, therefore,
GM/XD = AG/KX
(x - 2)/6 = (x + 9)/9
Cross multiply
9(x - 2) = 6(x + 9)
9x - 18 = 6x + 54
Collect like terms
9x - 6x = 18 + 54
3x = 72
Divide both sides by 3
x = 72/3
x = 24
Answer:
a = -86.
Step-by-step explanation:
By the Factor Theorem, if x + 4 is a factor then P(-4) = 0, so:
P(-4) = 2(-4)^3 - 11(-4)^2 + a(-4)- 40 = 0
-128 - 176 - 4a - 40 = 0
-4a = 128 +176 + 40
-4a = 344
a = -86.
Answer:
The value of annuity is 
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The periodic payment is 
The interest rate is 
Frequency at which it occurs in a year is n = 4 (quarterly )
The number of years is 
The value of the annuity is mathematically represented as

Answer:
x = ±
i
Step-by-step explanation:
subtract 64 from both sides
9x² = - 64 ( divide both sides by 9 )
x² = -
( take the square root of both sides )
x = ±
= ±
i
