Answer:

x = -1 , - 11,

Step-by-step explanation:

| x | = x

|- x | = x

f(x) = 2 | x + 6 | - 4

x = - 1 , f( - 1) = 2 | - 1 + 6 | - 4 = 2 | 5 | - 4 = 10 - 4 = 6 , True

x = 1 , f( 1 ) = 2 | 1 + 6 | - 4 = 2 | 7 | - 4 = 14 - 4 = 10 , False

x = 11, f( 11 ) = 2 | 11 + 6 | - 4 = 2 | 17 | - 4 = 34 - 4 = 30 , False

x = - 11, f( - 11) = 2 | -11 + 6 | - 4 = 2 | - 5 | - 4 = 10 - 4 = 6 , True

x = 14 , f( 14 ) = 2 | 14 + 6 | - 4 = 2 | 20 | - 4 = 40 - 4 = 36 , False

x = -14 , f( - 14 ) = 2 | - 14 + 6 | - 4 = 2 | - 8 | - 4 = 16 - 4 = 12 , False

x = - 26 , f( - 26) = 2 | -26 + 6 | - 4 = 2 | -20 | - 4 = 40 - 4 = 36 , False

x = 26, f( 26 ) = 2 | 26 + 6 | - 4 = 2 | 32 | - 4 = 64 - 4 = 60 , False

                                                    OR

Given f ( x ) = 6

f( x ) = 2 | x + 6 | - 4

6  = 2 | x + 6 | - 4

6 + 4 = 2 | x + 6| - 4 + 4                 [ adding 4 to both sides ]

10 = 2 | x + 6 | + 0

5 = | x + 6 |                                    [ dividing both sides by 2 ]

- 5 =\  ( x+ 6) \ = 5\\\\                            [ \ | x | = a\  => \ -a \ =  x \ = a  \ ]

- 5 - 6 =  \ x + 6 - 6 \ = \ 5 - 6\\            [ \ subtracting \ by \ 6 \ ]

-11 = \ x \ =  - 1

Traveling at 45 miles per hour, how many minutes, rounded to the nearest whole number, does it take to drive 240 miles from Orla
kirill [66]
Divide 240 by 45 you would get 5 and 1/3, multiply 5 and one third by 60 and it would result in 320.

D. 320 would be the correct answer.

April shoots an arrow upward at a speed of 80 feet per second from a platform 25 feet high. The pathway of the
zaharov [31]

Answer:

The maximum height of the arrow is 125 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The pathway of the arrow can be represented by the equation,

h = -16t^2 +80t + 25 .....(1)

Where h is height in in feet and t is time in seconds.

It is required to find the maximum height of the arrow. For maximum height, \dfrac{dh}{dt}=0.

So,

\dfrac{d(-16t^2 +80t + 25)}{dt}=0\\\\-32t+80=0\\\\t=\dfrac{80}{32}\\\\t=2.5\ s

Put t = 2.5 s in equation (1). So,

h = -16(2.5)^2 +80(2.5) + 25\\\\h=125\ \text{feet}

So, the maximum height of the arrow is 125 feet.
