1) Determine the property and how do you know.

Please help me! Find the number x such that f(x) =1

STatiana [176]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the piecewise function:

$f(x) = \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} -\frac{1}{2}x-1 & \quad x \leq -2 \\ x & \quad x > -2 \end{array} \right.$

And we want to find x such that f(x)=1.

So, let's substitute 1 for f(x):

$1 = \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} -\frac{1}{2}x-1 & \quad x \leq -2 \\ x & \quad x > -2 \end{array} \right.$

This has two equations. So, we can separate them into two separate cases. Namely:

$1=-\frac{1}{2}x-1\text{ or } 1=x$

Let's solve for x in each case.

Case I:

We have:

$1=-\frac{1}{2}x-1$

Add 1 to both sides:

$2=-\frac{1}{2}x$

Let's cancel out the fraction by multiplying both sides by -2. So:

$2(-2)=(-2)\frac{-1}{2}x$

The right side cancels:

$-4=x\\$

Flip:

$x=-4$

So, x is -4.

Case II:

We have:

$1=x$

Flip:

$x=1$

This is the solution for our second case.

So, we have:

$x_1=-4\text{ or } x_2=1$

Now, can check to see if we have to to remove solution(s) that don't work.

Note that x=-4 is the solution to our first equation.

The first equation is defined only if x is less than -2.

-4 is less than -2. So, x=-4 is indeed a solution.

x=1 is the solution to our second equation.

The second equation is defined only if x is greater than or equal to -2.

1 is greater than or equal to -2. So, x=1 is also a solution.

Therefore, our two solutions are:

$x_1=-4\text{ or } x_2=1$

Out of our answer choices, we can pick D.

And we're done!

You noticed that $750 was stolen from your checking account using your debit card, but life being as busy as it is, you didn't r

Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

The answer is: full liability for unauthorized debit charges

Explanation:

Once you discover that an amount of money was stolen from your debit card account, it is important to report it immediately to the card issuer. This will prevent "liability for unauthorized debit charges on your end." Each type of card that you avail has a set of rules when it comes to the card owner's duties and liabilities.

You have to tell your card issuer, either by writing or by phone. This should be done within 60 days from the time you encountered the issue. This will allow you to dispute any unauthorized charges. However, the sooner you report, the better it will be so you won't incur any liabilities.

So, in the case above, you didn't report the fraudulent activity until 75 days. This gives you a "full liability for unauthorized debit charges."

Thus, this explains the answer.

Graph the line giving one point and the slope. 2x-6y=12

koban [17]

Y = mx + c

this is the equation of line and here m is the slope

so, 2x-6y =12 can be changed into standard format

y = 2x/6 - 12/6
y=x/3 +(-2)

so, m = 1/3 , so slope will be 1/3

hope it helped :)

Find the area, correct to the nearest square

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

1269 square meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The path and the plot of land form two concentric circles (they have the same center). The radius of the plot of land is 100m (half of the diameter) and the radius of the larger circle, formed by putting a 2m wide path around the plot of land, is 102m. Thus, the area of the path is $\pi *102^2$ minus $\pi *100^2$ which will be $10404\pi-10000\pi$ which is $404\pi$ . Estimate $\pi$ to 3.141 and calculate, getting 1268.964... which is 1269, rounded to the nearest square meter.

Hope this helps :)
