Which of the following graphs shows the solution set for the inequality below? 3|x + 1| < 9
Bas_tet [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value function is a well known piecewise function (a function defined by multiple subfunctions) that is described mathematically as

                                 f(x) \ = \ |x| \ = \ \left\{\left\begin{array}{ccc}x, \ \text{if} \ x \ \geq \ 0 \\ \\ -x, \ \text{if} \ x \ < \ 0\end{array}\right\}.

This definition of the absolute function can be explained geometrically to be similar to the straight line   \textbf{\textit{y}} \ = \ \textbf{\textit{x}}  , however, when the value of x is negative, the range of the function remains positive. In other words, the segment of the line  \textbf{\textit{y}} \ = \ \textbf{\textit{x}}  where \textbf{\textit{x}} \ < \ 0 (shown as the orange dotted line), the segment of the line is reflected across the <em>x</em>-axis.

First, we simplify the expression.

                                             3\left|x \ + \ 1 \right| \ < \ 9 \\ \\ \\\-\hspace{0.2cm} \left|x \ + \ 1 \right| \ < \ 3.

We, now, can simply visualise the straight line,  y \ = \ x \ + \ 1 , as a line having its y-intercept at the point  (0, \ 1) and its <em>x</em>-intercept at the point (-1, \ 0). Then, imagine that the segment of the line where x \ < \ 0 to be reflected along the <em>x</em>-axis, and you get the graph of the absolute function y \ = \ \left|x \ + \ 1 \right|.

Consider the inequality

                                                    \left|x \ + \ 1 \right| \ < \ 3,

this statement can actually be conceptualise as the question

            ``\text{For what \textbf{values of \textit{x}} will the absolute function \textbf{be less than 3}}".

Algebraically, we can solve this inequality by breaking the function into two different subfunctions (according to the definition above).

  • Case 1 (when x \ \geq \ 0)

                                                x \ + \ 1 \ < \ 3 \\ \\ \\ \-\hspace{0.9cm} x \ < \ 3 \ - \ 1 \\ \\ \\ \-\hspace{0.9cm} x \ < \ 2

  • Case 2 (when x \ < \ 0)

                                            -(x \ + \ 1) \ < \ 3 \\ \\ \\ \-\hspace{0.15cm} -x \ - \ 1 \ < \ 3 \\ \\ \\ \-\hspace{1cm} -x \ < \ 3 \ + \ 1 \\ \\ \\ \-\hspace{1cm} -x \ < \ 4 \\ \\ \\ \-\hspace{1.5cm} x \ > \ -4

           *remember to flip the inequality sign when multiplying or dividing by

            negative numbers on both sides of the statement.

Therefore, the values of <em>x</em> that satisfy this inequality lie within the interval

                                                     -4 \ < \ x \ < \ 2.

Similarly, on the real number line, the interval is shown below.

The use of open circles (as in the graph) indicates that the interval highlighted on the number line does not include its boundary value (-4 and 2) since the inequality is expressed as "less than", but not "less than or equal to". Contrastingly, close circles (circles that are coloured) show the inclusivity of the boundary values of the inequality.

Leo and her on spent 3/4 hour shopping 5/6 hour preparing the pizzas and 11/12 hour cleaning up after the party how many minutes
Aneli [31]

Answer:

150 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to express all these fractions of an hour in minutes, then add them and get the total of minutes.

To pass these numbers in hours to minutes, we only have to multiply by 60 because one hour has 60 minutes.

3/4 h =

3/4 * 60 = 45m

5/6 h =

5/6 * 60 = 50m

11/12 h =

11/12 * 60 = 55m

to calculate the total number of minutes we have to add the 3 values ​​that we have

45m + 50m + 55m = 150m

Write an equation for the perpendicular line to the line whose equation is 4y-5x=20 that contains the point (-2,-3)
yuradex [85]

Answer:

4x + 5y = - 23

Step-by-step explanation:

the equation of a line in slope-intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

rearrange 4y - 5x = 20 into this form

add 5x to both sides

4y = 5x + 20 ( divide all terms by 4 )

y = \frac{5}{4} x + 5 ← in slope-intercept form

with slope m = \frac{5}{4}

given a line with slope m then the slope of a line perpendicular to it is

m_{perpendicular} = - \frac{1}{m}, hence

m_{perpendicular} = - 1 / \frac{5}{4} = - \frac{4}{5}

y = - \frac{4}{5} x + c ← is the partial equation

to find c substitute (- 2, - 3) into the partial equation

- 3 = \frac{8}{5} + c ⇒ c = - \frac{23}{5}

y = - \frac{4}{5} x - \frac{23}{5} ← in slope-intercept form

multiply all terms by 5

5y = - 4x - 23 ( add 4x to both sides )

4x + 5y = - 23 ← in standard form
