Absolute Value is always positive. True False

kramer

Answer: False

Step-by-step explanation: Absolute value means distance from zero on a number line. A common mistake is to assume that absolute value is always positive but that's not necessarily the case.

Take 0 for example.

It's 0 units away from zero on a number line which

means it has an absolute value of zero.

However, all other numbers besides zero will have

an absolute value that is positive.

A rectangular poster is to contain 722 square inches of print. the margins at the top and bottom of the poster are to be 2 inche

Delvig [45]

Let
x ----------> the height of the whole poster
y ----------> the width of the whole poster

We need to minimize the area A=x*y

we know that
(x-4)*(y-2)=722
(y-2)=722/(x-4)
(y)=[722/(x-4)]+2

so
A(x)=x*y--------->A(x)=x*{[722/(x-4)]+2}
Need to minimize this function over x > 4

find the derivative------> A1 (x)
A1(x)=2*[8x²-8x-1428]/[(x-4)²]

for A1(x)=0
8x²-8x-1428=0
using a graph tool
gives x=13.87 in

(y)=[722/(x-4)]+2

y=[2x+714]/[x-4]-----> y=[2*13.87+714]/[13.87-4]-----> y=75.15 in

the answer is
the dimensions of the poster will be
the height of the whole poster is 13.87 in
the width of the whole poster is 75.15 in

This is a proportion. What is the value of X?

Verizon [17]

Answer:

x = 15 or x = - $\frac{2}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Cross- multiplying gives

(14x + 6)(17x + 5) = 9x(27x + 11) ( expanding factors )

238x² + 172x + 30 = 243x² + 99x

rearrange into standard form : ax² + bx + c = 0

5x² - 73x - 30 = 0 ← in standard form

consider the factors of the product 5 × - 30 = - 150 which sum to the coefficient of the x-term (- 73 )

the factors are - 75 and + 2

Use these factors to split the middle term

5x² - 75x + 2x - 30 = 0 ( factor by grouping )

5x(x - 15) + 2(x - 15) = 0 ← take out the factor (x - 15)

(x - 15)(5x + 2) = 0

equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 15 = 0 ⇒ x = 15

5x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - $\frac{2}{5}$
