Answer:

Cyclist A lives farther from the Orchard

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A(x) =48.5 -21x

B(x) =42 -16.8x

Required:

Who lives farther from the Orchard.

To do this, we simply calculate the y intercept.

This represents the total distance traveled to get to the Orchard

To calculate y intercept, we set x = 0

So:

A(x) =48.5 -21x

A(0) = 48.5-21*0 =48.5-0 =48.5

B(x) =42 -16.8x

B(0) = 42 - 16.8*0 =42-0 =42

From the above computation:

A(0) > B(0) \to 48.5 > 42

Hence;

Cyclist A lives farther from the Orchard

kondaur [170]

Answer:

None

Step-by-step explanation:

There are actually 2 answers, 3 and -3. Although if you put it in a calculator, it would show "math error" or undefined. That's because the index is even (4) and the radicand is negative (-81)

Solve for X, please show work!
Molodets [167]

Answer:

the solution set consists of {x < -2 ∪ x > 10/3}

Step-by-step explanation:

|3x - 2| > 8 is equivalent to the following set of inequalities:

1) 3x - 2 > 8

and

2) -(3x - 2) > 8

In case 1, above, add 2 to both sides, obtaining 3x > 10, or x > 10/3.

In case 2, above, carry out the indicated multiplication first:

-3x + 2 > 8.  Next, subtract 2 from both sides:  -3x > 6.

Next, divide both sides by -3, remembering to reverse the direction of the inequality sign:  x < -2.

Thus, the solution set consists of {x < -2 ∪ x > 10/3}
