Option B:
The expression equivalent to |a| ≤ 5 is a ≥ -5 and a ≤ 5.
Solution:
Given expression: 
To find the equivalent expression for the given expression.
Apply absolute value rule:
<em>If |x| ≤ m then -m ≤ x ≤ m.</em>

⇒ -5 ≤ a ≤ 5
⇒ -5 ≤ a and a ≤ 5
Switch the sides, we get
⇒ a ≥ -5 and a ≤ 5
The expression equivalent to |a| ≤ 5 is a ≥ -5 and a ≤ 5.
Option B is the correct answer.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The parent function here is y = log x, where 10 is the base.
The derivative of y = log x is dy/dx = (ln x) / ln 10.
The derivative of y = log (ax+b) is found in that manner, but additional steps are necessary: differentiate the argument ax + b:
The derivative with respect to 10 of log (ax + b) is:
dy/dx = [ 1 / (ax + b) ] / [ ln 10 ] *a, where a is the derivative of (ax + b).
Alternatively, we could express the answer as
dy/dx = [ a / (ax + b) ] / [ ln 10 ]
Answer: 10, 11, & 12
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Let x represent the age of the youngest child.
Their ages are consecutive so,
Youngest: x
Middle: x + 1
Oldest: x + 2
The age of the Youngest squared (x²) equals 8 times the Oldest [8(x + 2)] plus 4.
x² = 8(x + 2) + 4
x² = 8x + 16 + 4
x² = 8x + 20
x² - 8x - 20 = 0
(x - 10)(x + 2) = 0
x - 10 = 0 or x + 2 = 0
x = 10 or x = -2
Since age cannot be negative, x = -2 is not valid
So, the Youngest (x) is 10
the Middle (x + 1) is 11
and the Oldest (x + 2) is 12
Answer:
